New to making bead jewelry
Q.Now that I have extra time on my hands after leaving my last job, my wife, who owns and operates suggested I get involved in the business by learning how to make jewelry, necklaces, and other items out of beads and also learn how to make metal beads.. She would like me to start making things so we can set up a booth at some of the bead and jewelry shows and display the items I have made Frankly, I'm overwhelmed and really don't know where to start. Can any of you suggest some good books or classes that would help me get started.
A.SHE wants you to "make stuff to sell"? What about YOU? If you don't "love it", you won't want to be doing this as a "career". In addition to the "how to make stuff" instructions, you also might want to read up on "how to sell what you make"-- I think there's even a book with that title.... Or, is she suggesting that you make items for her displays, to show examples of what can be made from her products? Either way, lurk on alt.crafts.pro for a while and/or check their archives for information on entering shows, types of booths & displays, etc.-- many of the regulars are full time, professional artists, and selling at shows is their prime source of income.
