Handmade Bead

I need a name suggestions for my WAHM business/website. Just a way to make money in my spare time. I'm hoping to do mostly internet sales.
I make beaded Jewelry. I'm just getting started. I plan to also make other small crafts. I'm starting small. I may branch out into other areas such as sewing crafts or decrotive candle holders, gift baskets ect or I may not ever get around to doing anything but jewelry. Not sure yet. So I need a flexable name. Also will sale 2nd hand things: clothes, cloth diapers, toys ect

DH is giving me money to set up a website . So I need a short name (preferably 20 characters or less) One to 3 words. (nothing with beads or baubles!) My name is Sonita.

You can check out my (current website! LOL) 360 page ( http://360.yahoo.com/noggin_mama… )to see pix of my jewelry to help you get an idea what to call it.

Feel free to throw out several suggestions!

10 points to the best answer even if I don't use it!

This link should work

Hmmm. tried getting on the hyperlink and wouldn't work.

Hint of Sonita <- b/c it's handmade and it represents you.

Sonita's treasures

Handmade bead loom bracelets?
Would you pay $150 dollars for one if you liked the style?
They are all handmade from glass beads and sterling silver clasps.
The swarovski crystal bracelets would cost a bit more though also. would you pay that much?
do you think other ppl would?
It would be a great loss to sell them for much less.

I need to see pix before i can say.

I create wire bracelets, earrings, rings and necklace sets.
I create wire jewelry that a business woman and man could wear, yet I enjoy making jewelry for children and young adults. My pieces are elegant, sophisticated and affordable. I want my business name to express how each created piece will enhance the beauty of the individual. When people see my jewelry they will say "I must have it."

All Wired Up.

I am looking for resources and or information on handmade flowers. I am particularly interested in ganutell, mini flowers made from clay and french or victorian beaded flowers. I have some books but I am looking for someone who lives in my area to share ideas with or to learn together. I live in southern Delaware. Any information would be appreciated, any links for classes or training or etc. Thank you.

This page at my site has lots of lessons on making small 3-D or bas relief flowers from polymer clay if you want to check it out:

i have been making tons of handmade beaded jewelry…but i dont want to start selling it on ebay…any tips on how to sell the stuff?

Craft shows?? Or we have a craft mall in our area that sells handmade stuff. Good luck!

I make jewelry, which I think is very nice and reasonably priced. Yet no one buys it….

Yes. In my area, very popular. I live in a smaller community, and there are numerous bead shops around. I make my own for me, and as gifts, I do not sell yet.
I go to the department stores and see what they are selling, and keep an eye out to see if I can buy similar. I buy the latest clothes and colors, so my jewely colors and style should match that.
So what kind of a venue are you selling from? Online, craft show, friends and relatives?
One of my friends watches the local community group yard sales. For around ten buck, you can get a table, the person running the sale does the advertisement. Sometimes they are even indoors.
My other friend scouts yard sales for old costume jewelry, she cuts it apart, and restrings it in an updated style. One of the necklaces looks just like the one I saw at Famous-Barr. She gets the stuff for a buck or less, it takes a little wire and maybe a new clasp to redo it. Cheap, and a cute idea.

I am thinking of selling some of the crafts that I do on Ebay.
(Beaded jewelry, greeting cards (handmade) and things with polymer clay like magnets and little figures.)
I was just curious how well those types of things sold…

well it depends on what they are , how you present them, and the cost.. this being collage football sure things of that nature would sell …. you can sell anything to anyone if presented right . even stuff they don't need just cause it is cute , or has there Passion on it , like football, music group, animal,,there own picture or grad kids picture on it ..

i produce and source exotic fashion accesories like beads, bracelets,necklaces,african artworks,sculptures,etc.and am hoping to expand my clientele but i have very limited knowledge of how to use this medium as it was recomended to me by my friend.

I'd start by putting a few items for auction on e-Bay. There are some beautiful handmade beads and items for sale there. I don't think it is too hard to create an account there.
