A little something to share
I post most of my creations in this craft community site called craftgrrl, solely just to gather feedback and opinions, cos they don't allow sales posts anyway. Most people there were very polite and they gave mostly very favourable feedbacks. I did receive some friendly critiques too, just to share a few which are worth pondering...
"Personally I think they look a bit busy, and really long. I think all in all, your charms really dont have any relation to each other, and without that whole "charm bracelet motif" they just look random and out of place..." "...They wouldn't really go with much...Not a lot of people wear gold anymore either. At least not in that style.
Sorry if that came out as a laundry list of negative things. That wasnt my intention. I love the little rose ball bead thingies, and the way you strung them. Thats a sort of idea I havent seen much of."
Someone replied:
"I think they're lovely. I, personally, wouldn't wear either of these pair, but I remember that I've liked a fair few of the other pieces you've posted here. I know there are definitely "in" styles for jewelry, but not everyone wants to fit in and wear what jewelry stores or magazines tell us is in fashion. I personally would rather find my own style; if gold isn't "in" anymore, but I like it, I'll wear it anyway.
Some of your jewelry does seem odd in some way. You put things together that I don't think actually go together, but somehow (most of the time) it works, and I like that you're not afraid to try different things. And I like the little stories you tell about them too. :) My two cents."
I replied both comments, if you're interested to read the whole thing, click here! :) I generally did agree that my pieces may not necessarily match, but i just simply loved the way they're put together, and i value individual unique style as well, rather than blindly following the trend. What do you think?
Sorry for the super long post! :)
