Very pretty! Do you bend all the wire pieces yourself?
Another beaded product that is very popular around my area (and maybe elsewhere too) are beaded lanyards for name badges at workplaces, for example. They usually have some sort of clip for the badges. At small craft sales, they easily go for $20-25 and up, depending on the beads. I was given one once, and loved how pretty it was. Unfortunately, all it took was a small hand at school accidentally grabbing it, and whoosh! the beads were everywhere. That was my last attempt at stylish in the preschool setting. I have a friend who says there is a way to make them sturdier, which I would definitely recommend!
Yeah, the wire comes on a spool and I cut it and shape it. It's really pretty easy.
Unfortunately, it's also easy for little hands to mess it up. DS1 was being a pain and I had to carry him and my bracelet got caught on his button, and well, now one link doesn't look that wonderful.

Good luck on your beading venture!
