Honesty please

Jun 19, 2007 20:58


I've not posted for a while but need some opinions from people who will be honest with me.
I've been ill with post viral fatigue and fibromyalgia for three years now and i still struggle but my life is adapted mainly to cope with it and my husband is a lot of help.

For some stupid reason the UK systems won't let me have Incapacity Benefit cos I am too young or National Insurance Credits altho we are appealing against them.

I started off selling cards and jewellery to family and friends and a local shop are just starting to try and sell my work too. Its very difficult to get honest opinions from people who know me well so I thought I could try here.

Should I give this a go and try and make it a proper business as its flexible so might be better for me than any other jobs?
What do you think of my work?
Would you buy it if you didnt know me?
Off a website?
From a shop? (so prices taken up by the shop)
From a market stall?

Im afraid this isnt all the best bits of my work but its some. All the cards and jewellery are handmade. The cards are A Six size (a quarter of a piece of paper) and all the jewellery comes on a decorative backing as shown. Card prices vary from one pound fifty to two pound fifty. Earings are five pounds and most necklaces are fifteen. The materials used are gold and silver plated with mainly gladd beads althought some other materials suc as paua shell and swarovski crystals are used. So its fastion jewellery I suppose althought i would like to look into using more gemstones and crystals.
