Ok here is something i made. What do you guys think?

Took me AGES to make, a real booger.

I didn't have any lobster claw clasp so I made my own but i think for one to sell, I'd need some bigger gauge wire for the clasp. (pics kinda suck on the first one)










This is 2 others i made a few days ago (figured I'd throw it in too):

Very pretty. I haven't had the patience for any bead work for a few months now.

If you're looking to sell handmade jewelry, natural materials are sometimes more appealing. Stone beads, stone chip beads, wooden beads, shells, and hemp cording. I think it's because it looks more unique? Also if you look into fashion trends and seasonal colors it might help with ideas and selling pieces.

Have you seen that stretchy kind of nylon string? You can buy it in different thicknesses, and even the very thin one is stiff enough that you don't need a needle. It looks like fishing line, but stretchy, in clear or colors. Bead shops have it. Daughter likes to make bracelets with it because you don't have to put on a clasp.
