the yarn looksgood enough to eat! you got a lot of work done Barbe will you be selling them in your esty shop? are you using ebay at all these days?

thanks!
I feel like I haven't gotten squat done this week-with all the digestion problems....

I have the yarns on the website, and will put the jewelry up tomorrow night or Sunday. I'm helping my friend Jessica sell her stuff at a trunks show tomorrow.

I have stuff on Etsy but it barely moves. Nothing on ebay sells for me anymore-I don't know if its summer or if people are more prone to go to Etsy now and get art stuff since theres so much.

Etsy is cheaper, but there is SOOO much stuff on there at sweatshop prices. It makes it hard on everyone when someone is basically paying you to take their product.

They look great! I havent done much all week since my hubby is on vacation....how do you like working with resin? Ive never tried it, i assume you do it either outside or in a well ventilated area? One of these days I will try it. The stuff looks really great though!

thank you.
I've been working with resin off and on for a few years, I have a 50% success rate with any resin but Colores, that is about 95% success for me. I have some stuff with airbubbles that really bother me, but eh-you can only do so much and the rest is up to the resin elves LOL

I don't do it outside because I live in a loft apt=no outside space to work! I work at my table with the windows open, but I SERIOUSLY need a room ventilator for fumes. They are $500, and I'm saving up for one! When I was doing alot of glass soldering pendants, I would have on a big respirator mask cause those fumes are so toxic too!

I know what you mean....solder art is my primary art. I use a 100 watt iron or torch for the smooth stuff, and a lower wattage to texturize...I do it outside for the most part, and I wear a mask SOMETIMES....I know they sell solder fans, I really need to invest in one before the fall, since im getting much busier, and it SUCKS on hot days...my biggest bitch is setting the bails or jump rings...i just hate it.
