Having only made a total of four so far, I really do wanna get into this.  I want to do the cracked marbles too, but they'll have to be seasonal, meaning since the oven has be turned to 500 degrees, I can't do it in the summer.  SO, with the ideas I have that I'd want to sell from the start, I also wanna do commissions since I'm sure people have their own tastes.  Problem is, I don't know what to price them at.

So here are the four I've made:
Experiment: Glitter and Swirls by Deidara-CloneGift: Striped Ruby by Deidara-CloneCommission: Pink Ice by Deidara-Clone

What I want to do:
:pokeball: Make PokeBalls (granted it may not be all of them)
:pokeball: Make known Pokemon Eggs
:pokeball: Create the Evolutionary Stones (some would be seasonal)
:pokeball: The Dragonballs
:pokeball: Maybe Eyes?
:pokeball: Birthstones/Zodiac Stones
:pokeball: other stuff I haven't thought of yet
If you guys have any ideas, let me know and I'll make a note of it somewhere.

As for the commissions, like I said, people may want their own thing that is separate from what I want to do, and that's understandable.  I want to expand as much as I can so I have a wide range of people wanting to buy my stuff.  The only thing I didn't want to do was buy already-made chains; this was because what I found has a copper base, and I don't know if people have allergies and junk, which is why I opted for the colored cording.  At least with the cording, I can try and match colors, and no one would be allergic.  Now, I have a friend who's good with making chains and stuff.  If we can make it work, and if she's interested, she could make the chains that would go with my marble jewels, and we could both profit from it.  Now keeping in mind we're both busy (and despite my free time, something may end up happening), so this could take a while.  But again, if things work out, we could run our own Etsy Store (and me having a Pinterest account, I could get the stuff out there), and we'd both make money.

As for the pricing, I really don't know what to do.  I mean, I wanna be fair with the prices (and any commissions from friends and family would be free of course), so this way I can draw in buyers instead of having them be like "do I really wanna pay this much for this item?".  So any suggestions would be awesome.

So yeah, I think that's about it for now.

Well, I cannot say I have any ideas really, but I did want to wish you luck on this. Heck, for some of the pokemon related stuff, I would gladly buy the stones or pokeballs.

As for the chain/cord thing, I would recommend maybe making it an option to choose from, if you do make a website or something for this, though in a foot-note mention that the cord is easier to deal with.
