I think you've done a bang up job Wendy...
of putting this information all in one place!!! 
I can only stress the function of this site..for exchanging of information, ideas, techniques and such..... and not to use this forum as a platform for any commerial concerns or meaness of spirit. We're here for fun and knowledge...to share with and learn about other artists who also have a love for Swarovski!!!
Anyone else have a thought to share here???
Warmest Regards,
Heather
thank you Heather...
Yes, as great as it is that you're able to sell your wonderful pieces and we'd love to hear about WHAT you do (if you're a professional designer like Katherine, or you professionally sell your work and designs in your own store like Val) that's great.... but please don't try and sell to us... = ) There are many beginner's here and they may feel a bit intimidated. = )
