I’ve never bid for anything on Ebay before but got it into my head to make some rings out of teaspoons……….. Found just what I wanted and these were hallmarked 1940’s teaspoons and I won the bid !
I’ve made six and have sold 3 !

I’ve had a triplet opal hanging around in my gem box for months and though I love it never had any idea what to do with it. The other night as I was falling asleep I had this vision of a petal in a matte finish and came up with this.

Rose, they are brilliant! great idea, unique too. Displayed tastefully ( gerrit spoons) ha ha The old spoons are the best. Spoons also make great handles if ur doing up kitchen units.I just fancied making something to do with nature this week so I did !

Thank you. No I’m not on Etsy, I’ve looked into it in depth and was very tempted to join but then decided it wasn’t for me. However, I often look on there to compare prices and am quite shocked at what they charge for some things!

Do you mean in terms of things being expensive or inexpensive? I find that most individuals who craft their own products from scratch tend to underprice their work.

You have a good point there, I make everything from scratch and if I charged for my time I would have to charge a lot more!
But comparing very similar things on Etsy to what I make they charge more than double what I do. Mind you they have the hassle and expense of having to get things hallmarked and paying postage. I make sure what I make is under the legal weight so I can avoid hallmarking.
Not on the High Street is even more expensive for some things. The sellers there have to pay quite a lot to join though.
