Alice in Beadland Introduction

I met a new beading buddy on Wednesday! 

Her name is Alice and she originally hails from

The Czech Republic. 

She emailed these photos. 

(I enjoy seeing what others create as they are so inspirational)

I asked her permission to show you this lovely jewelry. 

Each one is so very beautiful, filled with such love and

wonderful details. 

You know I adore bead embroidery

so I had to share these with you.

 She has a little girl but sneaks in beading whenever she can. 

(Like me, she usually looks up at the clock and it's 3:00AM...lol)

I love meeting every person who comes into the shop! 

Some people leave a lasting impression upon me.

  Alice is one of those. 

We both are struggling with the same problems....

how do we market our products?....

where does one go to advertise?.....

(Etsy has over one million jewelry ads listed.....)

I have things on ArtFire but have only had two viewers...

now what is that all about?.....

I believe it is an over abundance of talented artists that NEED/MUST get their beautiful pieces sold. 

(We have to sell our pieces so we can buy more beads so we can continue to create our passion.)  When I make a piece I put my heart and soul into making it the very best quality that I can.  When a piece finds a new home I have such mixed emotions.  I miss the piece like a child away from home but then I think about the person who wears the piece and how proud I am that I am giving someone a precious part of myself and a little pleasure to brighten their day.

Does anyone out there have any ideas for us? 

We are more than willing to listen to any suggestions....?????

Look at this one! 

Beautiful colors and lovely artwork.

Who wouldn't be proud to wear this on their wrist?

How can we get our work

"out there"

so that we can continue on? 

Any ideas?

I would LOVE to hear from you,

Blessings to all,

Sharon
