Studio Vlog #12 | packing orders, price adjustments, coping with fear of failure

[@Alejandra.G.E.]

Welcome back Maria!!! 🌹 The little forget me not flowers are really beautiful. And yes, try new designs, new color combinations; I'm sure your very particular style will show.

[@bafflingbeads]

Thank you! I am so happy to be back! Sometimes I feel like I still haven't found my style because I try so many things but maybe having a style is overrated. So as long as I get new ideas, I learn new things and I like the jewelry I bead maybe that is enough 🌞

[@Alejandra.G.E.]

@@bafflingbeads in my humble opinion I could say that definitely you have a style 💐

[@bafflingbeads]

@@Alejandra.G.E. ok cool! 😄🌞 I love that 🥰

I think the skull would look awesome as a pendant for a necklace. ❤❤❤I love them as earring pieces too..

[@bafflingbeads]

That is such a good idea! But I am really not sure whether people like pendants... do they? Probably. I just never wear any jewelry... so I just have no clue... I may try it! Thank you for your input! And thank you for returning and watching my vlog. 🌞 I got a little long 😅

@@bafflingbeads I wear necklaces, I sure there are some ppl that also do! ♥️

[@bafflingbeads]

@@Barbara-1111 I ordered some supplies and I will try the pendant idea 🙂 thanks

Welcom back maria you were missed !!!

[@bafflingbeads]

Thank you Debbie! So happy to be back and spend time in my studio again! 🌞 I love it ❤️

Hi I love your work. I also design Jewelry. I understand cost of supplies. Keep your prices don't back down Things will be better for business. Be patient.

[@bafflingbeads]

Thank you for your input 🙂 I am just switching to a standardized formula to calculate all the prices. So some of the prices decrease a little while some increase. I don't lower them because I think that they are too high. They are not. I sell premium quality glass beads so they cost some money. I just need to get my system in place and then everything is good. And then every price is caluclated the same way 😊 that is the goal. No need to worry, my business is doing ok for it still being pretty new and young. I cannot wait to see where it will go 🌞 thank you for watching!

I am so happy you are back from vac as I love watching your vlog and listening to all that u have to say. I felt the scull has a smile after being given a crown and it’s cute and rare design. It looked lovely on your ears and it will be nice as a pendant as well. I look forward to Black Friday !!

[@bafflingbeads]

I will absolutely try out the pendant idea. I have never even considered it! But I think embroidered pendants would look lovely! I am so happy to be back! I love my normal day-to-day life and I want to get so many things done 🥳 thank you for being here - and also the pendant idea! 🌞

Hi! I was wondering where I can find the link to purchase a monthly bead box?! I found one of your shorts, where you were packing a box and I immediately went to your bio, to try and find a link. Unfortunately all I found was your beaded earrings, which are absolutely but not what I'm interested in. I love watching you pack order and just looking at your array of a lifetime of bead collecting, I would really love to see a tour of all of your beads but I know that would probably take a long while. Anywho, I would love to buy a bead box from you. Your beads, designs and art room is absolutely gorgeous I'm definitely somewhere I would love to sit ❤

[@bafflingbeads]

Thank you so much! I am so so sooo happy that I have this room for myself to use it as a studio! We moved here about a year a go and I am still working on it 🥰 but I love working in it so much. I've never thought about recording a bead tour. It's a fun idea 😄 I will keep it in mind. This is my besd shop: bafflingbeadsforyou.etsy.com I don't do monthly boxes but I absolutely LOVE the idea!!! Maybe I should think about it 🙈 but they would be expensive due to shipping 😮‍💨 it's so bad right now. I will think about it for the next year 🌞 thank you so much for watching and being here ❤️

[@BuffyPence]

Love these ❤ you are very talented 😊

[@bafflingbeads]

Oh thank you! 😄 Makes me happy that people like my grumpy skull earrings. I will also make some in shiny white and pink 🤣 thank you for watching 🌞❤️

[@vickyrumsey692]

I love the new beads !!! As for your newest earrings, I think you did a wonderful color match for the sugar scull!! Very cute!! I was so p;eased to see all those orders! I think that you have it all together when packaging your orders! I only wish I could see or hear the price in US dollars so I can deside what I want to order!! well all for now, keep up the good work and stay healthy, Take care!

[@bafflingbeads]

Hi Vicky 🌞 thank you for leaving feedback! I will try to add price information in dollars in the future. The current exchange rate is 1$ -> 0,93 euros. So in case you are interested because of my Black Friday sales: you will get 30% off in my bead shop for a minimum amount order of 21.50$ and in my jewelry shop it's 53.50$. Usually the worth of one euro and one dollar are pretty close. Thank you for watching this super long vlog. ❤️😅 I had a lot to share I guess. Too much thinking 🙂
