Black Friday, Cyber Monday Sale

Whenever you see a handmade item on sale, know that this is a big deal-

Why do I say this?  Because artisans are usually a one man show.  You get to see the finished product which doesn’t always seem like a big deal because they seem to make it look like it’s so easy, but the fact is that the finished product is the result of many, many steps.  This is without mentioning the costs for material and all of the time put into design, sketching, measuring, choosing the right materials, putting the finishing touches (that’s a large part), taking pictures, writing up a listing in order to put it for sale, thinking of and purchasing packaging, paying for  the costs of running your own studio (electricity, heating, lights, etc…), and taking the time to advertise it on the web…  Ouff!!  I’m out of breath!!  There’s a lot involved when you’re an artisan!

Support artisans in your community, buy handmade!  :)

Super Clearance Sale in my Bayside Wire Designs Store

As an artist, I have to admit, I don't exactly offer clearance items too often.  I think, when it comes to art, it just doesn't seem like you mark down art.  I think this is quite the dilemma for most artists who sell their work from a storefront.  It just seems very unethical, but if we're going to somewhat succeed in making a living with our craft, we need to bend the rules, adjust to a certain degree, to the rules of retailing.  And it is for this reason, that I am offering a Super Clearance Sale in my Etsy Shop BaysideWireDesigns.

Take advantage  because it doesn't happen too often.  As most artist would agree with me, it's time consuming and expensive for materials, tools without even mentioning the design aspect of our art.  That being said, when you see art on sale, you grab it because you know you're getting a great deal!!!  The extra bonus being that the particular item is handmade with tender, love and care.

I have 45 listed items in my Super Clearance Sale Category and I will be adding more.  Click here to see my store (make sure to add to your favorites for quick access to check regularly for newly added sales.)

Black Friday Sale Section of my Etsy Store

I took some time, to list many of my items, especially jewelry, in the Black Friday Sale of my Etsy Shop.  You will save as much as up to 50% on some of the items!! This does not happen very often, so take advantage while you can!! Go to my Etsy Shop now by clicking here.  Another thing, when you purchase for $50 or more, you will receive a FREE Gift...

Gorgeous, Choker Necklace with Smokey Quartz Wire Wrapped Pendant

I designed this smokey Quartz Choker around a gorgeous, Quartz baguette stone that I purchased.  It has elegance written all over it!

My jewelry designs are very seldom born at the work bench; it is actually quite the opposite.  After examining the stone for some time, I will ponder over it and try to figure out what setting would most suit this particular stone.

After rolling the idea around in my head, sometimes for days, it's as though a light goes and everything points in that one direction.  After finally deciding this is the best route to take, I then sit down at my work bench and begin making into a reality something that was once, only an idea.  I really hope you enjoy my sexy,  ribbon choker with Smokey Quartz, wire wrapped pendant in 14k gold filled.  It's a very stunning piece that is also very versatile and it's a one size fits all choker, ties at the back.  You may wear it more as a necklace, no need to wrap it around as I did on the photograph; you may also slip it off the ribbon and add to a longer chain as a beautiful necklace for the office.  Many great ways to wear this piece!  Click here for more info.  Go to my shop to see my Black Friday Sales, beginning today.
