I got in on a couple of the Nano swaps, and I'm making earrings for them. Hope my swap partners like them.

I make chain maile jewelry. It's fun but I never do get around to selling it. They always end up becoming gifts for friends and family.

I make jewelry. I love wire-work and also do seed beads. I don't string much, though. I don't do silversmithing or PMC due to how expensive it is. I'm wanting to do more Polymer clay, though. Good luck...

I just use the regular oven. I don't do it often enough for me to be worried about it.

Getting yourself out there. Connecting with people advertising. That kind of stuff. Your stuff doesn't sell just because you opened a shop.

Aggressive, how? I have an account on Etsy but haven't started selling yet.

Meh, I would get a cheap oven, but my smallish apartment has no space for additional gadgetry. I sell on etsy too. Or am trying to. It's not for everyone, I think. I'm learning that you have to be more...

How many jewelry artists here sell on Etsy, eBay or somewhere else online? I figure that's going to be my next step, selling online.

Also, if you make a lot of stuff, you easily pay for the oven in electricity usage alone!

Good for you! Back when I first started making jewelry, I sold about $150 of necklaces in 2 weeks to my co-workers. It was November, so they were buying Christmas presents and all thought my stuff was...

I have a small craft oven that I bought at Joann. $50, but only $25 with a coupon! I set it up outside. If it's cold out, make sure you pre-heat it or your clay will scorch. They say it's safe to use...

I would consider making $100 on my jewelry amazing! At the very least it's motivation to keep on going because people do like your stuff. For all you polyclay people, do you fire your stuff in your...

I sold exactly $100 worth of jewelry, all of it earrings. Considering the economy, I don't think that's too shabby at all. It might not be a fortune, but I think it's a very encouraging start. It...

True, but I didn't make anything this summer. Well, not with clay anyway. I need to start again though-- I love being able to make the beads-- it feels some much more personal that way! 3 of my...

This summer was tough on clay in Seattle... I still needed the freezer.
View ArticleRe: Any jewelry artists?
Freezer-- I'll have to try that. I have one of the super sharp flexible blades. I also did all of my clay while living in Florida, so it was probably the heat (and maybe humidity?) messing with it. It...
