Waiting...
... is definitely the hardest part.
I'm a horrible waiter and I will fully admit to this right now.
Put up my posts regarding making chain maille bracelets here, on deviantArt, on Facebook (even made a fanpage just in case) and I'm still without nibbles on making anything.
I'm sure it'd be easier if I had pictures of finished products or even a few bracelets I could put right up on Etsy. One thing is standing in my way of that right now: materials. I simply don't have the right size rings right now nor the funds to order them. I can make a number of my chain patterns into doll things right now but I'm unsure of how to consider pricing those. All I need right now is $50 to order the quantity I need to make things.
$50. That'd be 10 bracelets on the $5 level. It's the magic number. I'm hard-pressed to look at doing it right now, money's going everywhere else but to this. Household expenses and fuel for vehicles and people come before little metal rings.
I just have to have patience.
It's just really hard when I have an itch to make this my thing. I want to do this as more than just a hobby.
