So as I go through my stuff from time to time...and as I keep occasionally wandering into Beadazzled on Charles street, it occurs to me that I have a nice little collection of beads with which I've been doing nothing for a while.

I've been giving it some thought for some time now and I think I'd like to try and actually do something with some of it and see if I can't sell anything. I'm not expecting much, but if say, one day I were able to make enough money selling jewelery to maybe cover the occasional utility bill payment or somesuch, I think I'd be happy. (So no I'm not talking about sinking money that I don't have into a ton of beads to make jewelery that I'll never sell. At the moment, I'm just talking about working from what I have, only buying things like thread, clasps, seed beads and the like for spacers, that sort of thing.)

My main issue is that I don't have a digital camera (the phone camera doesn't count.). If I wanted to set up an online account with a site like Etsy, I would, of course, need to be able to take pictures.

I'll have to figure something out, but I'm not worrying terribly about it at the moment.

After having made a few bead purchases myself, I honestly don't know how some people can make and sell jewelry and ever break even let alone make a profit worth continuing.

So, does this mean the usual compulsive winter knitting will take a back seat? :-P

Well I started vending when the beads over took the condo. However, I love designing and working with colors and all. They do make great presents. My friends all beg me for earrings.

Vending is fine if you are into selling.
