I've been treasuried!
Woohoo - I've been treasuried!
http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=70598 If you aren't a regular visitor to etsy - a treasury is a collection of someone's favourite items - sort of a "these are a few of my favorite things..." humming the song from sound of music It's fairly time consuming to put one together and even harder to snag a spot - I feel so honored! |

Elayne and I also love the Earth Below Us necklace the best. *With a couple of others coming in a close second. Heather Thank you! I think I'm under-charging on the wave beads - but I appreciate that designers that want to use them and resell the finished pieces need some room to be able to mark them up! When it comes to pricing the lampwork beads - the formula is something like this time + premium for uber expensive glass + degree of difficulty + uniqueness or artist's reputation The first factor - time - is the most expensive, in a piece, generally. So if you see, say, simple lampwork spacers - regular size - they tend to run about $1.00 each, and you can generally make 5 of them in 5 minutes.If it takes you 10 minutes to make them - you can try charging $2.00 each, but you aren't likely to get it. No matter how famous you are! ;-) If you make them out of dichroic glass - which is about $20 / ounce, vs regular glass - which is about $14 / pound - you can charge more. Dichroic glass is harder to work and have it come out pretty - so there should also be a premium for the increased difficulty - although that's harder to get at the spacer bead level, really. Of course, that 5 minutes doesn't include annealing, cleaning, photographing, listing for sale, or the 5 years it took you to get the skills to make 5 beads consistent in size, or the $3,000 you spent on equipment to do it. ;-) There you go - the pricing secret! |
