Posting Question

I made some new bracelets over the last few days and I really like them. Two
of them use the Mavis Smith beads I bought at the Bead Show on Sunday. I
want to post the link to my website here so you can take a look (if you want
to). Here's my question: Do I need to put "AD" in the subject line? The
bracelets are for sale, but I'm not showing them to you in hopes that you'll
buy them. My impression of this group is that you buy beads, but not
finished products (over-simplification?). I want to show them to you to get
some feedback and, okay, to show off the first REALLY GOOD BEADS I've ever
bought. :-)

Would someone please let me know what's appropriate? I don't like to join a
group and then start messing up the protocol. I'm already embarrassed that I
posted the question yesterday about finishing the multi-strand bracelet
before I checked the archives. slapping my forehead D'oh!

Thank you!

Angela,
I think that seeing you aren't really targeting us as buyers, it's okay to
supply us with the link so we can give you feedback. I'm sure we would all
love to take a peek.

And you never know. Someone here might buy something that is of a
different -kind- from what we ourselves make.

You are right in thinking that lots of us look at finished jewelry and
start figuring out how something similar ourselves, but there are
weavers who don't string, stringers who don't weave. People who create
polyclay stuff who like wirework, etc.

Why not just put Ad: in your subject for the sake of following
protocol for stuff available for purchase, and then see what happens?

Okay. How do you guys do this? I cannot make jewelry with brand new beads.
They have to ferment. I have never understood this.

I know! It was so weird! I thought it would take a LOT longer for me to use
those. I was sitting there talking to my husband last night and all of a
sudden I was like, "Oops! Gotta go!" and I was at my bead table making the
bracelets!

The Mavis beads are in the two last bracelets on the page. Hope you like
them. (This link won't be good for long -- I'm about to do some remodeling
on my website -- but the pictures will be there *somewhere*, so if that link
doesn't work just start with the one in my sig....) Thanks!

Oh, lovely, ang! I adore Mavis's itty bitty beads. The bracelets are sweet
and luscious.
