Well, I actually ventured out into the world today! I went all the way into Brisbane City, to Kustom Krafts, which is an amazing alternative culture/handmade market that runs every so often. I was so disappointed that I didn't have wads of cash to spend, because there was so much incredible stuff there that I was lusting after. And, I got to briefly meet Max California, and have a look at Vincent Black Clothing in the flesh (just so you know, they're both just as awesome as they look online). Oh, and I got high fives from Max's son Vincent, who is possibly the most adorable child I have ever seen. All in all, an awesome day. Anyway, after being inspired by Kustom Krafts I'm doing some quick market research for The Boyfriend.
As you guys know, he makes pretty much all the jewellery that I wear. He's tried selling it on eBay and Etsy, without a whole lot of success. We're thinking of trying to hook him up with a stall at the next Kustom Krafts, and a few other markets round the place. Have a look at the pictures here (I apologise in advance for the crappiness of some of them). What we really want to know is this:
- Would you buy this stuff?
- If you would buy this stuff, how much would you pay (keeping in mind that every ring in one of these pieces is closed by hand, using two pairs of pliers)?
Argh, you can't see the stone. But this is a stretch necklace, incorporating a pendant that was originally from another chain, which snapped.
Non-stretch, clasp necklace with broken image pendant.
Stretch bracelet, and non-stretch bracelet.
Another non-stretch necklace, with Emily The Strange pendant.
Hard to see, but it is a non-stretch necklace with Emily The Strange pendants incorporated into it (spelling S-T-R-A-N-G-E).
Oh, all the others are stainless steel, except for these which are brass and copper. Two stretch bracelets here, and a permanent anklet.
If you could give me your thoughts, I will love you forever. Or, if you would prefer and you live close enough, I'll make you some cookies. And I do give mean lovin', and cookies.
Until next time, xo.
