I am amused

I already am an environmental Knytter (= maker of Knytt Stories environmental levels).

I am also planning to ask a fellow Greenpeace activist to teach me how to knit. Got the wool, got the needles, just need to find an opportunity when we both have some time. So, if that works out, I will soon also be an environmentalist knitter.

(No kidding: I just noticed this.)

How many people...

would be willing to pay 100 euros for a pair of earrings, I wonder?

Because I don't think I can make them much cheaper without limiting my hourly pay to a non-industrialised-country level.

Another thing I wonder about:

eight months of unemployment, and I'm beginning to make jewellery on an almost-semi-regular basis.

How many more months would it take to turn me into a 'real' goldsmith again? ;-)

A third thing:

Why is the stuff on etsy.com almost universally more tasteful than the stuff on dawanda.com, even though they're both mainly frequented by hobbyists? Do all the hobby jewellery makers with taste gravitate to etsy? And if so, why?

(Sorry for the multiple short posts today; I'll go back to the workbench now and stop spamming you. :-))
