Open Question: Any ideas for my prom outfit?

March 10, 2010 – 7:17 pm

Our prom theme this year is "A night in Paris"

I already have a dress: it's a deep red strapless with silver on top, floor length.

However, I'm not quite sure about everything else (hair, makeup, shoes, jewelry). I really want it to tie into the theme, any suggestions?

fyi: I have short brown hair (bob haircut), I'm really tall and skinny, and pale. I'm taller than my date...

and thought...this is amazing! where can i find more things like this?

ANYTHING would be great.

Plz and thank you for the help.

Open Question: Is it safe to re-open my septum?

March 10, 2010 – 7:17 pm

I got my septum pierced about 4 years ago. It is still open because I can fit things like paper clips and regular earrings through the hole. As far as the actual jewelry for the piercing, it doesn't fit. It goes into the hole, but won't come out on the other side. Would it be safe if I forced it through. It's just painful and I can't stop sneezing! Or should I just take it to the piercer and have them do something?

Open Question: Gift Ideas For my mom please?

March 10, 2010 – 7:17 pm

OK, It's for my mom. She doesn't like jewelry, and she hates all the clothing anyone else picks out for her. She's the kind of person that if she wanted something, she'd just buy it, why wait for a birthday, So it's impossible to find her something she actually wants and she values usefulness and humor more then whats "pretty" Shes highly democratic and roman catholic. She's a doctor and likes to knit and doesn't like electronics very much though she's open to new ideas because she plays games on the computer a lot. PLEASE help. I have no idea what to get her. She likes gardening her but I tried that for Christmas and she still hasn't planted some of them. candles have been over done. She's very into politics, she's democratic and has a bumper sticker like "Who would Jesus bomb?" Any ideas?

Open Question: Jewelry Makers who would like to be interviewed?

March 10, 2010 – 7:17 pm

This is for my senior project, I need this very soon (tonight). I need your name and email address (incase my mentor wants to verify the sources) so you can send this to my e-mail address sound_system510@yahoo.com if you feel uncomfortable posting that information on here.

When did you start making jewelry and what drew you to it?

Is this your main career? If not, why?

Are you self employed or do you work for an employer? Do you employ others to work for you?

Do you create your own designs, follow others designs, or follow classic designs?

Is it ever frustrating to create a original design?

Where do you sell your work? (Retail stores, fairs, online, etc.) If you sell in multiple places, which do you find to be the most profitible?

What is your biggest selling piece? (For example, necklaces.)

What are some of the major tools/machines/techniques to you use? What materials do you work with?

What are your favorite and least favorite things about jewelry making?

Do you have any advice for aspiring jewelry makers?

Open Question: I have some great ideas for some jewelry designs, but don’t know where to start?

March 10, 2010 – 7:17 pm

I was coming up with some great ideas for some jewelry designs (Mostly rings), and I'd like to start up a business that makes and sells my designs. I just have no idea how to start it up. I don't know how to get the items made, I don't know how I can finance the startup (It's the recession, I'm busted). How could I start up a business like that?
