Around here, the Spring craft fairs have started once again. I would like to do more of them! It's hard to enlist help getting the tent up at the outdoor events though. My hubby is available sometimes and very occasionally there is staff at a fair willing to give some assistance. This past weekend, luckily, my favorite son-in-law was nearby and able to help!
The weather was a bit cool and the sun only peeked out a few times but it was still enjoyable to hang out for the day, chatting with other vendors and greeting potential customers.
This necklace was one of the items that sold. It was a new creation. Most of my jewelry features Swarovski crystals. Bracelets and necklaces, I string on stainless steel wire. However, I've been pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone and work with different designs. This piece was done with assorted metals and NO crystals, only glass beads. It goes on over the head and has no clasp. It got a few compliments before and at the show so I guess branching out must have been a good idea.
If you make jewelry, do you have a signature style or do you prefer to incorporate many different designs in your inventory? Do you have a favorite metal or type of bead that makes your heart sing to work with?
