Galaxy Quest Lampwork Beads

This was one of my first sets of "perfect" (though nothing's ever completely perfect) scroll beads. The silver raised scrolls float on a base of black that has been silver fumed to make them look like space.

Devious Journal Entry

So when I first started selling on Etsy, I didn't really have a method of organization. I didn't really think that far ahead. I had this napkin on my desk where I put all my beads. Very professional eh?

That evolved to placing them in sandwich baggies, but I ran out of those fast and I needed them for packing my lunch, so that didn't last long. Next I bought some cute little gift bags, but they don't work that well for storage. I found that while I do sell pretty often, I sit on a lot of inventory, and it is a waste to buy fancy bags for everything when everything isn't selling.

I finally bought some simple little 3x2 inch plastic Ziploc baggies. I should have done that first thing! I really don't know why I didn't. I got a thousand of them for like 15 dollars off of ebay.

Anyways, the moral of this story is to invest a little time and money into organization when you first get into selling. Otherwise you have a giant clusterfuck on your desk like I did.

Wow, I took a semester of lamp-work in high school, but i never made anything better than a frog (it's on my page). My beads flat out sucked... although it is something I've been itching to get back into lately.

you should get back into it. That's actually kinda how I was. They demonstrated it in HS, but I was too scared to try it. Two years later I randomly bought a hothead kit and tried it in my apartment. Now I own a house and have a studio set up downstairs.

You should get back into it :)

Thanks so much. I go a little crazy with scrolls sometimes. They're addicting.
