My whole life I have always wanted to run my own business. I want to sell stuff. I like money. A lot. Unfortunately, I'm not very creative, or talented. I get so jealous of my friends and people I know who are.

I've been learning how to make jewelry, and I came up with this idea of making jewelry from electronics. It's not original, there's a few people out there that do it too, but, there's thousands of people who sell the same kind of stuff all the time. So I am trying my hand at this and hopefully make a little money while I'm at it. I am finding that making jewelry is very relaxing and fun!

So I just wanted to share my Etsy page so you guys can check out the start of some of the things I'm doing. There isnt much up, I ran out of time (I never seem to have enough of it lately) to get more pictures of things I did. But there are a couple things to show you.

I want to know what you all think!

Pretty cool, Shellie!

Market to a group you know: gamers will buy neat/cute videogame inspired craft like mad. Like Megaman crocheted winter hats or plush Mario Bros Bomb-oms, just a couple examples I've seen linked from other sites that sell out very quickly.

Etsy, huh? My wife frequents that site all the time :-)

And I agree with Blotus. The gaming nerds are a very picky but very passionate group. Make something they like and they're all over it. You have a big advantage in that you truly understand that mentality and culture. Exploit it to your advantage
