Except for the clasp!



Last night, I stopped early on my bracelet. My eyes were sore, burning, and just plain tired. Plus, my hands were getting really sore. I surely wished, I would have started this hobby +years ago. The bracelet is Byzantine Chain Mail,in 18 gauge. Yes, I made all the jump rings, 170 some, and the clasp. I started this project yesterday, and I'm really getting to love working with the wire. I am expecting my package with Sterling Silver any day. Working with the German wire, is OK. It's basically, metal over copper. I'm trying different sanding methods, so the copper doesn't show. I'm happy with the results, except for the clasp. I used 14 gauge wire, and, oh my, the results were not acceptable to me. On the other hand, the clasp, is unique. Isn't that what it is all about? I'm going to be getting out the clay this weekend, more than likely on Sunday. I've a few projects I want to work on. I discovered a new website, call ArtFire. Another site to sell handcraft items.
I have been asked this last week about business cards. Is this a business, or a much loved hobby? When does a hobby, become a business?
