Kathy, did you notice that Corina was looking around, trying to find more
beads to send along with the auctioned beads? I think that you're right about her take on it--she knows that ending price was over the top, and wants to provide more bead for the buck "Kathy N-V" wrote in message . giganews.com...

This is insane. Sooz I agree, and I am usually arguing to raise the prices that the beadmakers get. That was a nice strand of lampwork, and Corina is probably among the most well known lampworkers, but really. I've seen nicer stuff made by our own RCB-ers, and I strongly suspect that this is one set of beads that will not retain its value. The number of people on Earth who know what lampwork is, appreciate it as an art form, know who Corina is, and want to spend $1,000+ on lampwork is vanishingly small. I'd venture to say that the number is either one or two, and those people are the ones who bid that up in the first place. Once the winning bidder has the goods, if she ever wants to sell them, she'd have to get those same conditions to get her money back, and since she isn't going to bid against herself to run up the price, it won't rise anywhere near as high. If those beads are taken apart as a set and used in various pieces of jewelry, there is still very little chance of the person making her money back (much less a profit). After all, are there a bunch of Corina bead fanatics out there who want a piece of jewelry with just one bead and are willing to pay for it? If so, are they all so computer impaired that they couldn't bid on eBay themselves and get a whole strand? Another consideration is that beads aren't signed - they could be "Kathleena Beads" just as easily as "Corina Beads." Once this auction is over and forgotten, unless the person contacts Corina herself (and Corina remembers that particular set of beads - which I think she will), there's no way to authenicate the set - much less an individual bead. Corina herself was shocked and bemused when she wrote about the auction on her own web page. I suspect that she thinks the ending price was insane as well, but certainly won't say so. Kathy N-V |

]there's no way to authenicate the set - much less an
]individual bead. some of our offerings are going to have certificates of authentication. they'll be numbered to match. Okay, I need a reality check here. I have a feeling I'm going to get flamed for this but as a beadmaker I still have to say, come on, people.....authentication for lumps of glass???? That's just silly. This isn't fine art, it's just beads. KarenK |

.....authentication for lumps of glass???? That's just silly. This
isn't fine art, it's just beads. KarenK I think some bead makers are craftsmen and some are artists. I look at beads along with all glassworks, and glass is an art medium and is used as a practical application. Did some Meanie tell you you can't be an artist because you can't draw a straight line? It always makes me sad when someone's creative spirit is squashed because some ignoramus told them their expression was not "good" (by whose standards?) ......Stephanie..... |
