Exploring Ebay and Etsy

I decided to open my own shop on Etsy to sell beaded necklaces and sometimes paintings. I love beading and finally gave way to my old passion and bought some beads, spacers, pendants, and clasps.

Besides, i learned many interesting things about beading like conditioning threat, making bracelets on a loom and how to construct one, about treated turquoise, about tribal Afghani necklaces, hand made beads from Elsha Limbu, pendants from neolithic China period called Hongshan, about buchonon and the difference between brass, copper and bronze, because most of them are just zinc alloy. I learned about silver plate and gold filled, solid copper, colors of agate, jasper, jade, and many other interesting facts and tricks.

Will be posting pix soon.
