    Does anyone (anyone who makes their own jewelry) sell enough jewelry to support themselves?

    Where/how is the best way to sell your jewelry...online (which sites are best), sell to friends, craft fairs a few times a year

    I do.. but then again, my costs are gas and.. well.. the few things I need for supplies. Hence, why I love living out of my van.

    I do both hemp, and wire arts, crystal work.. and make a good income. Depending on the weather here in Florida, along the beaches.. I make 100-200$ a week. More if I wanted to try harder.. but I like my relaxed schedule lately. All I do is wake up, grab my pack, and sit on a beach access/boardwalk/pier for a few hours and twist and wrap up shit I find in or out of the water. It's the people that see your work and want custom stuff done that makes my day.. other then that, I keep it simple with a simple price.

    As for craft fairs.. I don't do em.. same with websites. I prefer meeting people and talking to em a bit.. but I have pondered the thought of a Flea Market lately, mainly for my bigger focal pieces I've done. A whole day's worth of work could be made in a single sale there...
