Craft Shows

Spring is on its way, and so are the craft shows.~! Ive started to buy the beads I will need to start a new line of jewelry. I don't know if people out there realize just how expensive beads are. So far Ive bought $500 in beads,and that's just focal beads, I have all the secondary beads I need in my studio.
Now the designing part starts.
Its a lot of work and back breaking at that. Sometimes hours even days go into one design. I never buy cheap beads, been there don't that and all you get out of it is cheap jewelry. I believe people are willing to pay a little more for quality. At the same time I'm trying to finish off 2 paintings if I'm lucky I might get a 3rd one done. But art doesn't sell as fast as jewelry. It doesn't make any less important. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you love what your doing then get better at it and don't stop.
