I will have to admit that I haven't soldered a thing for about 20 years but I did a brilliant silvermithing evening course for 2 years and even got my own hallmark. I did do a lot of soldering back then though, I have made all sorts of stone settings from scratch, casting, cuttle fish casting, enameling, fusing, droping melted silver in water, cutting patterns in sheet, you name it I've probably had a go. Nowdays I am into wire shaping and stringing.
Once I can find a decent - fire proof - space again I would love to get back into it.

Forget the alcohol (I can't believe I'm saying this!). What you need is a nice cup of tea, a hot bubble bath, chocolate...and CHILL. Tomorrow you take over the world! Hug

Im sat here after making a second bracelet which I think could be alot better, Im also steaming about some orders I want but the 'parting with money' issue is looming also one order I definately want to make wont accept my credit card!!!!

So Im wasting time sticking(with sellotape, Im so classy) actual beads onto a swarovski colour chart so I can see the real colours of the beads(of the ones i have)

Talk about procrastination!!

Sorry to complain.

I just cant seem to spend money.My sense of saving for the future kicks in.
When I buy one thing Ithink 'Oh, such and such will go with that, then il need that' etc and it just spirals.
Tho I have placed an order today and im gona sort out my own credit card this weekend so I can buy buy buy!!!

Havnt made anything to day but Im writing/drawing ideas and I have an idea for a lovely necklace, so Im trying to work out what I need for that.

It's ok hun, everyone has off days, and i doubt myself more than ever atm. Because unlike some of the people on here, i've only just started making jewellery and i can't seem to make them look half as good as any on here. Plus my ebay shop is not doing well at the moment and nothing is selling. Which means no money coming in, and in turn means i'm poor. So i get what you are saying about keeping money back.

Hope you have a better day 2morrow and always heere if you need a moan.
bye tasha

ps: I find it hard to keep up with this forum aswell, it seems to take me hours to read all the information i need. Plus i feel so crappy incomparison to what other people are making.

eBay can be very hit and miss - everyone is looking for a bargain Sad

I also notice that you've got listings ending over the weekend. For some reason sales always seem to be lower over weekends. Friday afternoons seem to be the best auction end time - when everyone's bored at work and thinking about the weekend Tee hee

Why don't you try

thanks for that melanie Heart

I appreciate your comments, i'm just struggling to find motivation and confidence at the moment. Proabably due to the fact nothing is selling. I have started to build a website but i'm rubbish at html and all that. Really need a hand with it all.

Anyway thanks i'll try etsy and se eif i get anything sold on there. am off to go be creative and make something hopefully it will cheer me up. Sad
