    I have been collecting sea glass for awhile, and recently a kind stranger taught me how to make wire wraps! Now I cant stop and I wish I could in turn teach someone else. Tell me what you think! There is definetly room for improvement, but I have only been at it a week.

    I recently started a shop on etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/sandandsee

    Does anyone else have an etsy, and if so, is it easy or difficult to sell things on there? Would I have better luck at a farmers market or flea market? Thanks!

    Those are cool as shit, and I'm really picky about jewelry. I like the last one the best.

    These are gorgeous, well done! I collect sea glass too and would love to learn the wire wrap thing, I see you have some tools there, do you need many tools and are they expensive? I like the pale blue one the best :)

    I know a few people who sell on Etsy, and tbh, very very few people sell much at all even though their stuff is amazing. That is because Etsy is so huge and the competition so stiff, you've got to be at the top of your game to make any money, for most people it is a sideline or hobby, though if you have a catchy name and good advertizing, or find a niche in the market than you might find it takes off. Definitely try the farmers/flea markets, though do your research first, you don't want to be right next to several other stalls selling the same or similar stuff and you need to check out what kind of people go there. Good luck!
