    so ive decided that i will be making & selling fimo clay beads and peyote stitches.

    small beads, basic colours will be 30p each, or 50p for two
    bigger beads, basic colours will be 50p each, or 80p for two
    bigger beads, mixed colours will be 75p each, or £1 for two
    animal beads will be £1 each
    custom beads will vary in price.. going by what ive just written =]

    peyotes (im a beginner at these) will start at 50p for the smaller, simple colour ones. 75p for larger.

    postage for any order will be £1.50

    my sister & mom have advised me that payment by cheque or postal order is the best way.. i make the stuff, receive the payment, and then send the stuff via first class post

    ill post pics with sizes and things tomorrow when ive taken some better ones, so when ive posted the piccies, lemme know what you want and ill sort it =]

    oh and ill try and find a reliable currency converter =]


    [if this is in the wrong place or inappropriate.. delete it]

    Not too big on putting stuff on my hair. Asides from barbel replacements and what not I don't put anything else there.

    Paypal fucked me over for £80, and they shagged my mate out of £15 or some such thing but I don't know the details so pinch of salt. But basically it's great until you realise they have no accountability, can take money out your bank on a whim, and that you have already signed away most of your rights.

    They will screw you, it's just a matter of time.

    Paypal has actually helped me get my money back in certain situations.

    Postal Orders:

    http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/jump1?catId=86500737&mediaId=73500709

    If you decide to use these or cheques, please make them payable to meeeeeee =D Miss L E Hamilton


    Currency converter:

    http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/...geId=fex_main&catId=19300210&mediaId=21600429

    so £1 is 1.4070 US$,, 1.7125 CAD$,, 1.9977 AUS$…. Etc etc


    I also use reuters..

    http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/...geId=fex_main&catId=19300210&mediaId=21600429

    which gives pretty much the same amounts

    “small beads” are just round, donut-esque beads. i also do shorter cylindrical beads, either plain or mixed colours

    “big beads” are longer, cylindrical beads OR larger donut-esque beads for larger dreadies

    “animal beads” are… animals. So far I got a bee and 4 crazy ladybirds and 2 piggies. Soon I shall attempt an elephant and a sheep

    I also do spiral type beads.. these can count as ‘big beads’ =]


    What ive made so far:
