I need to look at that spread sheet calculator for pricing. I am never sure how to price a piece.

Just pm me when you figure it out. I'm seeing myself wearing them this summer.

I second this!!!

Tammy, you can blame me for the seed bead bug. It's an addiction I wear proudly. It's pretty bad when all my hubby's car buddies know that when we gather for a road trip we will be stopping at all bead stores along the way to add to my stash of beads. We hit so many on our trip to from VA to PA last year that I was the joke of the gathering that weekend. We travel quite fast from bead store to bead store in the hubby's Shelby GT500.

That is so funny- Walt would kill me!!!

Thank-you for the lovely compliments...Sharon I really needed to hear that. Everyone I know is telling me to make more of these multi strands but they all luv me..LOL so to hear good words from peers is very good.

Did you try the pricing calculator? It gives you lots of different price ranges, like for selling on consignment, wholesale, and retail. It also gives you pricing ranges ( ball park figures) that allow you to take in the area and the people you will be selling to, if at a show use the higher price, if selling to another artist etc etc.

I also love that it does the math for me and adds up all of the componets and I can number and name the jewelry piece and add a picture of it!

I have a similar chart that I made myself and I use excel. It's pretty simple but effective. I know so many bead artists who just throw a price on without calculating the actual cost.

I ordered it but haven't gotten the tut yet. I've never had it take so long. I think I will check it again when I am done here.

By the way, you deserve the good words from peers!
Hugs!

i bought the purple bracelet from Donia and I wish you could all see and hold it. It is just stunning! It is so flexable too. I really love it!

so much Sharon. This picture just doesn't do them justice.

Sharon offered me a sweet deal on the earrings. I donated her asking price to TB's and these cute as can be earrings are now part of my collection. I love them!!!

Hubby and I took a day trip to Nags Head, NC yesterday and I wore these. I was asked about them three times, once while in one of their local bead stores. I had to direct the ladies to this thread and your Etsy store, which was empty at last check. I explained that they could contact you through either.

I also had one of Jewlie's fibulas pinned on my jacket. I had to run it back in the bead store while visiting and show the ladies. They all loved it and I directed them to her Etsy store for the tutorials and any fibulas she might have up for sale.

again!!! So glad you like it. I really enjoy making them up. They are great projects to work on during the summer while enjoying getting a little sun by the pool side.
