Why don't you sell your beadwork on Etsy? It's a good community for hand made items?

Actually, I looked into Etsy some time ago, but decided not to put my work there just yet. For one thing, I have only a few items that are actually for sale. Mostly I make things custom for people - to order.

I don't know if Etsy is really the place for custom orders. But I should look at it again and see. Thanks for your interest!

I've been a member of Etsy for a few years and it is very competitive for sellers.

When buyers come to it, they are overwhelmed with the numbers of beaded items. The jewelry section is huge.

I am a member of Etsy, but to post your jewelry on etsy it takes money. So I prefer to run my own free site with a store, and post advertisements on google, bing, ebay, amazon, craiglist. Buyers on there are just as interested so it does come in handy to post other well known sites!

Thanks for the question.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
