I'm trying another memory-wire bracelet currently with gold and brown seed and bugle beads, silver spacers and brown and gold lampwork beads. It's going well so far, I just need to get more of my seed beads.. the only problem is the memory wire itself I think :\ I'm finding that it's very small (the loops only have an inner diameter of 5cm) and doesn't fit comfortably on my wrist... the one I gave my mother is a little tight but she seems to like it.. maybe I just like looser bracelets? I have another wire-wrap bracelet given as a present which has an inner diameter of 6cm. One centimeter, but it really does seem to make a difference. But it's the only wire my main bead store does! Ack. Looks like I may need to actually start traveling farther afield than my back door for local supplies!
My other big news is that yesterday I helped create a team of Etsy sellers called Creative Crafters Discounts (CCD) who have a discount promotion. For every transaction at one of the participating stores you get a coupon for 15% off a transaction at one of the other stores. One of the members had a few sales yesterday to go out, so we already have I think 5 coupons in circulation.. I'm hoping I can drum up some sales for Christmas and get some coupons out too :)
For more info on this, please check our community info: http://cc_discount.livejournal.com. You can also search for items on etsy with the tag 'ccd'.
Lastly I got my Moo cards delivered (but not my stickerbooks.. though I did get an advert card about them!) and I'm actually disappointed. About a third of them have been cut badly so that the image contains a strip of another image on one side. Not very professional-looking for promotion cards. I'm obviously going to have to send them back and get them reprinted (and they'd better be free!) but I don't know if I can start using the ones that are okay or if the whole batch will need to be returned. It's frustrating because there's a few sellers on Etsy at the moment gathering promo material from members to give out at shows they're doing soon.
Some of my images too haven't come out so well when professionally printed; I really should set aside some time for making a light box.
