So I recently sold a lovely pair of nautical octopus earrings to an old friend from high school. She actually has an allergy to nickel and was very reluctant to buy. I talked her into it since I have a spool of no nickel wire that I can use to make hand made earring hooks. She was ecstatic. She hadn't even sent me money or gotten her earrings before asking me to do a commission for her. A mermaid headband. Now it was very time consuming but I managed it. I have plenty more materials left from this feat. I sent her a cell phone image of this headband and she loved it even though I offered her the option of choice after I make more. She just wanted that one right then and there.
In all honesty, it was my first and a trial piece at that. Here's an image of how it turned out.
Now my question for you guys is this... Do you think elastic shell headbands would sell? If so, how much should one charge for such an item. I sold the one to my friend for twenty dollars but I felt like I might have been underselling it. I guess considering minor flaws in the trial piece, the price was right on.
By the way, I think everyone should hear this song at least one time.
