Ack.

I made 3 new rosaries, due to the level of interest on one of the boards I was (WAS) resident on..there was a flurry of excitement about the first one I offered. It sold in twenty minutes. Lots of people said they'd buy one and couldn't wait for new ones. So I spent some money I didn't have, and built some new ones. I posted them eagerly. Two days and three rosaries later...not one single bite. Ok... O_o

Not only that, I got my hand slapped for not posing my threads correctly or something, even tho I did it the same as anyone else there. Bah. I hate feeling like I've wasted time and effort, and I've had enough of their crack(head) squad of moderators and fluffy nothing posts.

In the mood I've been in lately, it should be little surprise I've moved on. Their loss might be your gain.

So...not that I think they'll go anywhere...but there are three pagan rosaries for sale. $25 each, shipping included in North America (add $3 if outside North America). I can't really afford to have these lying around, so if you think you know someone who'd be interested, pass it on.

Colourful Chunky Rosary - pewter pentacle and Sun connector, bright glass beads of all kinds.

Celtic Rosary - knotwork charm, double spiral connector, blue and clear glass beads. Only three dropped beads - Land, Sea, and Sky rather than 4 elements.

Edit - Sold
Skull Rosary.

I can guarantee you no-one else has anything like these. If you can give me a hand in whatever way, please do.

I love that term "asshat". : )

If you want to post on the werelist forums, even though it's not were-specific, yer welcome to do so. Yer a were, after all. Of course, since weres are natural money-repellants, I dunno if it'll help. ; )

I think your work is lovely. I wish I had money and wore jewelry. If I had money, I'd probably buy some to give to other people. ; )

I recently joined a pagan mailing list thingy... and managed to last two whole weeks before leaving in disgust. I've toyed with the idea of trying to create a mailing list or forum for pagans, but I don't think I have the time and energy to devote to it. I can barely handle what's on my plate as it is.

What's frustrating is that resources where the people _don't_ act like asshats often have little traffic or exposure, and the ones that are active are filled with jerks or are run by them. : /

When I first became a pagan, I suppose I should have realized that beign pagan doesn't make anyone smarter, or nicer, or wiser, or fairer or anything. It just makes them pagan. If people can ignore the golden rule in Christianity, they can ignore the Wiccan Rede or the Law of Thelema, or anything else just as easily. : p

They look really good. If I wasnt so broke right now I owuldlove to buy the celtic one (I loved the skull one too, buts thats gone). But in a few weeks, if I send you the money BEFORE you made the rosary, would you make me one? I'm not sure what of yet, but if the answer is yes, I'll let you know. It comes to about £15, and if those babies were for sale in a shop over here I'm pretty sure I'd be paying far more than that!

The problem is I made these as a special offering. If I were to custom build a rosary for someone, it's $30 + S&H for rosaries like these ones. Shipping to Great Britain is $6.50. If you still want me to build you a rosary, knowing it'll cost more, I'm more than happy to.

This is why I'm so frustrated...I really wasn't planning to make money off of them. I just wanted to boost interest in my custom work and make a lil' money on the side doing so. So I got about 5 or 6 people saying they were very interested...and then nothing. Not even comments, except to say they'd love to BARTER for my work, but couldn't/wouldn't pay for it. :\ Very very meh.

I'm sorry I can't hold the Celtic one for you. I just can't afford it.

Those are really lovely Morg. You ought to go into business for yourself doing that on a regular basis. You've certainly got an eye for it.

hey girlie, What are you using to string the beads? I haven't seen the white-coated stuff before, except on your pieces and I wanna get me hands on somovit so's I can make me cool things like you do.

And in related news: I'm more broke than broke, so no buying for me. Only admiring. *wince*

[identity profile] morgandria.livejournal.com 2004-03-01 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just a white-nylon coated wire, like my beadalon. I have tons of the stuff at the moment, so I can possibly hook you up with a bit if you like...although at this point I have absolutely no idea when we will be in Toronto again.
