Design AND photography satisfaction: festival bracelets are back!

Do you wear bracelets much? I went through a phase of designing these great, grand fun pieces that got labeled "festival bracelets." A lot of people loved 'em. The originals (read more here) are long gone to their happy homes and I hadn't had the urge to make any new ones for a long time. Scratch that. I'd had the urge, but the pull wasn't strong enough to steer me away from my other projects.
Today I finished the one I recently began. So many of the beads of this one were added, removed, re-added, switched, and finally approved. Can't tell you why the pressure. After all, it's just a seemingly-random assortment of beads that don't even have to match each other! Right? Turns out, not so random after all. I take a lot of time deciding what works and what doesn't. Can't always define it, but I know it when I see it.
Not only am I happy with this first one, I also kinda' enjoyed the process of photographing it, too! Especially after yesterday's photographic irritation.
So yea. Now my Etsy Shop - with it's slowly-growing inventory - now has a bracelet. A festival one!

It is amazing that today the applications and products available for wristbands are so wide actually there is a myriad of possibilities and one needs a solid knowledge in order to be considered business partner in this industry. You have on one hand the customer having specific requirements and on the other so many different products that can cover the needs. It seems that most websites try to offer extremely easy ways to provide the best solution in order to make the decision easier for the customer and I like the websites representing smart solutions. I division between stock made wristbands and custom made ditto is a good business tool as well. The products seem to be very suitable for sales on the Internet, which is a great advantage. What I furthermore found worth reading is the way the wristbands can be personalized in order to meet very specific purposes like religious and charities.
