Thaw at last ...?

Hopefully it is thawing because I am now starting to find that slipping on the snow and ice isn't as muh fun as when I was 6 ....

I'm making a beaded bracelet for someone and I have decided to add the style to my etsy shop and also to my own website.  Sadly, I believe that no one from the UK will buy because intricate beaded designs don't seem to sell well here. The UK is more a Claires Accessories, an Argos, and A Marks and Spencer kind of buyer.  Yes, there are those who love originality but these lovely people seem to be in the minority.  Why doesn't the British jewellery wearer like to be bold like they are in Europe, the US, Canada?  I really would love an answer too.  If you are a unique jewellery designer here in the UK, I bet you sell really well if it's sterling silver ... but would you sell as much if you beaded round cabochons or sewed beads one by one with a fine thread? Let me know ....

Happy 2010!

A very happy new year to everyone! My new year's resolution is to write some jewellery making tutorials and pop them on here.
What resolutions have you made ....?
