1. Oh, I like that!

It reminds me of art deco and that's one of my favorites.

I?

3. I now have my shop set up but have to add the pictures of my items.

I've got you hearted! Love ALL your oragami pieces....so clever. I urge everyone to look at Allegro's site.....hint! www.allegroarts.etsy.com If you're not going to toot your horn, I will....hope that's OK.

4. thanks!

5. Don't get too excited....I'm warming my hands after a l-o-n-g

time off. However, I think my stuff is original enough to be interesting. I love doing what I do and right now it's little, some are quite little, round 'boxes' out of polymer clay. They're a cross between styles that seem to be doing well on Etsy and easy for me since I've made so-o many of these in the past. I'm working on pictures today. I'm a bit over, on some, with the pixel thing. Having a hard time....my hubby's camera is very good but the pixels! My camera isn't as good but I can get the pixels close. Of course, you have to realize the banner was a challenge for me!! ha! Take a peek. I have my intro and banner, avatar and profile done. www.snappyturtlestudio.etsy.com. I'm trying but I don't know quite where I'm going with all this. It keeps my mind off politics and that is something I need right now, if you know what I mean!!! (Any suggestions on my shop would be gratefully received.)

6. Great banner!

very original and eye catching.
you should have a great time on Etsy. thats the secret - make what you like and enjoy, dont try to follow trends or whats hot.

7. Thanks! Finally got all my pictures done last night....will post them today.

I've always made what I like to do....well, except for the years I was wholesaling...that's a different beast! Hope I sell enough to keep me wanting to do more.....it wouldn't take that much! Ha! Thanks for your input.

[AllegroRondo]

8. wow, you already made a sale!

it took me weeks to get my first.
well done!

[snappyturtle]

9. Thanks! I'm just on my way to the post office...yea! Thank you too

for "hearting" me! That's a nice little support system there.....I think that could work well here with like minds!

18. I love everything......

....but I'm gonna be a pain in the ass....can you make the puppy into a ring....size 9 to be exact?

It is such a great expression of puppy (I like the cat too, I'm just a dog person) and I love rings.

If you can, let me know.

Thanks,

10. And a bit of liver of sulfur?

Looks pretty good. Just been reading up on the newer and cheaper bronze clay.

[grasswire]

11. metal clay?

Never heard of it. Sounds fascinating.

[eridani]

12. That looks fun! Liver of sulfur after?

Bet there are all kinds of interesting origami things you could do with it.

[AllegroRondo]

15. I actually use a product called Black Max

its a little easier to work with and less smelly.

[lies and propaganda]

[madmax]

17. Love it!!

Signed up at esty but, can't seem to find you there soooo. I'll ask you her :) Do you remember the spoon rings made with silver or sliver plated fancy end of the spoon? I saw a picture of a bracelet done in a similar fashion. It was two spoon and the ornate parts touched and the cut off ends were attached with some sort of hindge. Can you invison this or am I making myself clear as mud :rofl:
