My very first handmade barrette on EBAY

[Maraya1969]

I've been making jewelry for a long time and several months ago I decided to mess around with hair pieces. This is the first one I put up on EBAY.

3. I have many made but the whole picture taking thing got crazy and then

putting it up took me over an hour because they changed some things. I had to get online chat to help me.

Of course I could be taking pictures right now but..........I guess I'm not.

6. i know what you mean about the pictures...

i have about 5 boxes full of stuff to sell. i`m to dam lazy to put it on ebay because of the hassle of taking the pictures.

i`ll be looking forward to purchasing one or two for the up coming season.

5. Thanks imdjh! Before I put this OP post up I had 3 views on EBAY.

Now I have over 90! It's hard to believe how many people are moseying around this place all the time.

7. Very pretty!

May I offer a suggestion? The very first thing I wondered when I looked at the pictures was what the barrette was made from . . . in other words, was it paint on metal or paint on clay or painted baked plastic or something else?

From the perspective of someone with long hair (a barrette wearer), I like to know what the 'fancy' part of the barrette is made from, because it gives me a better idea of how durable it will be over the long term and how heavy the piece is, as well!

Perhaps you could add a little more detail about the materials you used?

Just a suggestion - brava for the very pretty piece and good luck with the sales!

8. I just revised the listing. You are right that I should have put up what

it is made of and how durable. Because the ones I have made for myself need to be handled with some care and yes you can bend them if you "pinch" the sides. I also tried to explain how big they are using my hair because this particular size will not hold all of my heavy hair.

I also put up the picture that I was going to put up before I got all
crazed n stuff. So there is a better picture of it there.

Thanks to all who have given suggestions!

9. I just did another one and it wasn't that hard
