Jewelry designer -- Here I go!
I have been trying to come up with some way to be creative. I just need that outlet. The problem with that is I'm not very good at what interested me. I can't sew or draw, so creating costumes or designing wedding gowns is a no (and I'm addicted to wedding gowns). I have zero talent in decorating, and zero interest in doing it. I can't paint, I can't draw, and I'm not fond of cooking.
But I do enjoy making jewelry.
I used to make hemp bracelets back in my youth as a hippie, so I've been practicing that more. Then I found it hard to find the beads I really wanted, so I've decided to learn how to make polymer beads. I've also been interested in silver wire jewelry, so I've been working on that as well.
I'm diving in and doing it!
I figure I can sell some of the hemp and homemade bracelets/anklets and necklaces locally at the little town festivals, and eventually, as I get better, sell them on Etsy. That's where I also plan to sell the wire jewelry. I'd also like to do jewelry for those that do cosplay and Steampunk. I look very, very carefully at the necklaces worn in movies and TV shows now. I'm especially fond of "Firefly" at the moment.
So now the practice begin, and I'm going to blog my progress so I can see how I'm doing, and hopefully drum up interest if anyone else wants to read this. Wish me luck!
