Three questions. 1) I usually see one of an earring, in several different colors. When you make these, do you make a pair, or just one sample? Question 2) Do you sell these? If so, where? 3) Donations: I enjoy getting your emails and seeing your wonderful color combos. The Donate button just near "beading pattern donations" - - do those go to you, or do you spread them out with the pattern designer? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Bobbie. Whenever I try a new earring pattern, I make samples in every colorway that I can think of to see what appeals to me and then I decide which ones I want to make. If there are samples that I like well enough, I'll make a complete pair for myself or someone else. I like to post my samples here on my blog in case somebody else might like a colorway that I didn't care for. When I do make a complete pair of earrings, I usually blog about it in a separate post from my samples.
DeleteOther than a few sales to relatives and friends, I don't sell my beadwork. I might open an Etsy shop some day but I don't plan to do that at this time.
The donations come to me and I use them to buy beading supplies. Every now and then I will buy some beads for my friend Teejay using the donation money since she does design many of the patterns.
