That said, I do think "Messy" is the same as "fraying". That natural frayed edge created by scissors is okay and looks nice while the example of the worn pair with notable fraying... not so much. To sell these online I think you really would need a modeled picture of them being worn. I hope you do make a few, (since you got the idea from craft fair people) but if you don't enjoy the process remember 3 is technically a few :) Good luck!K.

I DO like how the original earrings look. I think that the blue ones especially, are really adorable,and I love how they look on the woman in the photo. (They just aren't something that I would wear). I really don't think that I actually meant "messy" when I said it, but maybe... askew?<br /><br />The main problem that I kept running into when making these is that I can't make them to look sporadically arranged and "askew" as the originals are. My perfectionism/anal personality takes over and because I prefer things to be symmetrical and neat, I have a difficult time allowing them to look otherwise. I know that really does not make sense to someone else. :-) <br /><br />I AM thinking about taking a different approach to making earrings like these because of the interest at the craft fair, and especially since I already have posts on hand, but this specific method for making them wasn't working for me. <br /><br />I really appreciate the feedback!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839608540960354112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288933959233306122.post-53230043982786625792012-01-12T16:23:44.858-05:002012-01-12T16:23:44.858-05:00I still like them and think you should consider ma...I still like them and think you should consider making a few pairs to sell! I would think it is worth seeing how they do. I think they are fun and even kind of artsy, see how they sell. You commented that you don't want them to appear "sporadically arranged and messy as they did in the original tutorial, (as seen in the blue earring on the far right)" but this is part of what is so cute about them! I also personally love wearing non dangly earrings so that really appeals with these earrings. Since you already had customers wishing your flowers were earrings, I would think that means you should try making and selling a few pairs! Or even consider offering them "on special request" on etsy. Personally, earrings are the one accessory that I always wear EVERY day! I feel naked without them :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
