I know nothing about it, but I've been seeing so many pretty designs from it i wanted to try. So with minimal research(I'm still researching) I attempted my first clay pendant. This was the result..lol. I didn't polish or glaze it so its very imperfect. My take on it is it looks like a 2 week old fetus..LOL! I only made this since i was just trying it out. I must say I actually had fun with it, and I like that everything you make will be unique. I have been watching great tutorials and i'm going to give it another attempt. I will post the results soon. </div><div> </div><div></div><div>Francine<br />Jewelry Designer/Owner<br />FAP Creations Beaded Jewelry<br /><a href="http://fapcreations.ecrater.com/">http://fapcreations.ecrater.com/</a> </div>FAP Creations Beaded Jewelryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09479961999405009040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879357246223019937.post-63390521757039763402009-01-15T08:34:00.001-05:002009-10-18T11:04:02.202-04:00Michaels Craft Store presents....

I also have a soft spot for A.C. Moore. I can get lost in there too.I recently noticed that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">walmart</span></span> has expanded their bead section.

There is no such thing as ...if you make it they will buy. So my mission is to get in gear and put myself out there. When your making a product you have to have faith in what your doing or no one else will have faith in you. There are always going to be people that will doubt you , but you should never let that get to you. We all have to start somewhere, and unfortunately that usually means the bottom.</div><br /><div>I'm at the point where I'm comfortable with the jewelry i make. I feel i have much more to learn, but my chances of success are just as good as anyone else. Currently i have my items listed on artfire and ecrater. I just joined artfire so I'm not expecting anything miraculous over night. i know this requires patience. My experience with ecrater has been ...well i sold one item so far. I wasn't really promoting like i should have been and wasn't confident enough to push myself. So i cant really blame them. I'm sort of just learning the ropes of everything especially the marketing aspect of it all. You need to be included in all the major directories, and constantly socialize, and network with other people. I tend to be shy in that aspect but I'm learning to open up...for the sake of my business. </div><br /><div>So whats a crafter to do. Sitting in my craft room with a bunch of jewelry in a plastic shoe containers(sigh)...any buyers out there?...lol I have so many beads in here i don't know where to start. Should I keep making more product if I'm not selling it? I mean I have people that buy from me personally but as far as the Internet aspect so far it's been a bust. But like i said I had some other things going on where i couldn't be totally committed to the business,but from this day forth its time to get it together. </div><div> </div><div>Francine</div><div>Jewelry Designer/Owner</div><div>FAP Creations Beaded Jewelry</div><div><a href="http://fapcreations.ecrater.com/">http://fapcreations.ecrater.com/</a></div>FAP Creations Beaded Jewelryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09479961999405009040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879357246223019937.post-19246357204864065882009-01-13T19:30:00.001-05:002009-10-18T11:10:14.480-04:00My beaded hair combs<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPq4dosfkoR_VsqBie8emRJZWsai6GHzfx0LnJwbSJGjkjgD1Ba09awcgzjDiB-Phspliq9i2fkNAYdMFzb92tgvJIuw3UnrqAGhqf5i0WFuz8-mSN1jNxYKMsosP4Baeg9bnZk997L23/s1600-h/100_1289.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290940530985350786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPq4dosfkoR_VsqBie8emRJZWsai6GHzfx0LnJwbSJGjkjgD1Ba09awcgzjDiB-Phspliq9i2fkNAYdMFzb92tgvJIuw3UnrqAGhqf5i0WFuz8-mSN1jNxYKMsosP4Baeg9bnZk997L23/s320/100_1289.JPG" /></a><br /><div>So this is a pair of hair combs that i made.
