anybody seed bead?

Does anyone here make and sell items with mainly seed beads? I've
been making things for a craft sale and am curious as to whether this
stuff sells very well. A lot of it is teen stuff mostly daisy chain
designs with variations, but I've done a few necklace and earing sets
with a combination of seed and bugle beads. Mostly from books by
Suzanne McNeil. I also made some eyeglass strings. I'm producing as
much as possible for a show Oct 18 and I'm getting nervous about being
stuck with a lot of it. Thanks

I do seed bead work and sell it, but only to private clients who order before
it's made up into jewelry. They trust me and let me run wild with whatever I
want to do within their color choice -- or, sometimes, just run wild period
(they let me choose the colors). So I can't speak to what you're doing for the
craft sale -- it's a completely different animal. But I do hear that the more
complicated the seed bead work, the harder it is to sell it, because people
have no idea what goes into it or how long it takes.....

I seed bead, among other things, but I don't sell much. I try to be very
careful about stringing material, crimps, quality findings, etc. Bead
weaving I would rather do for myself, instead of selling something that
takes so much time for what you can get for it.

And besides, there are all those import versions of seed-bead amulet bags for
$5 each.... (Some through FMG!)

I do almost exclusively seed bead work (off and on-loom work) and I sell very
well at arts & crafts shows that are more high-end art shows.

Is there anywhere I can view your work. I'm sure that my attempts
are not art show quality, but I'd like to work up to that. So far I'm
just doing local craft show at a retirement village and a farmer's
market with a Christmas event booked. Thanks....Sharon in SW Ontario
