I also have a huge inventory of supplies at home and tools. I do not do silver work or casting, but do findings and wirewrap and handknottting. I learn new techniques frequently and keep up with trends. My trun around time can be 24 hours or less. How should I market this? I will do whatever is demanded by fashion. I am versitle. I will use from plastic to coral and gemstones. Not material is off limits. I use all mentals. I use stainless, sterling, vermielli, brass and copper. If someone can tell me how to list properly on ebay that would be fine. This is not junk, so people are not going to get it for $1.00. This is art stuff. Family and friends are already wearing my designs custom made for their specific style. They get complements constantly. Perhaps they should carry cards with a web site.

Costume jewelry for wedding needed!? I'm looking for replica jewelry (the earrings and hair clips) from this website. http://www.koechert.com/ A friend posted a similar question for me yesterday, and one response was extremely helpful. They said that there was a princess in Vienna, Princess Sisi (Empress Elisabeth of Austria) that adorned the same earrings and hair clips I'm looking for. I googled it, and came up with the website above. However, it would cost nearly $7000 for the earrings, and I just don't have that kind of money, lol. The poster suggested trying to contact various souvineir shops in Vienna, and advised that replica's for this jewelry was all over the Hofburg Plaza. So far, I haven't been able to find a link to any suvenier shop in Vienna and I haven't been able to find a place that makes these same pieces of jewelry with swarovski crystals instead of diamonds. If any of you know how I can get a hold of a shop that sells these items, please post the link in your reply. Thanks! I forgot to mention that the earrings and hair clips I'm looking for are from the Phantom of the Opera movie. The closest I found was on the site I posted at the beginning of my post. They look like this: http://www.costumebeginner.com/researches/phantomcos/full/bodice.jpg
