I'm putting together a jewelry business I don't have much done, but the following are a few lists of what I do have- and what I plan to do C:

Also, you should know that this business isn't really jewelry in the sense of beads and gemstones and such. It's more like charms with designs that I -designed xD- What I will be doing is making up designs, then using clay as a base and using acrylic paints to form them into plastic-ish sturdy charms.

What I've Done
-Created a name: sparkle*joy
-Created a logo (view here: [link])
-Designed a few basic charms (12, as of now: rainbow, kitty, onigiri, frog prince, moon, strawberry, music note, cupcake, ice cream cone, star, pet rock xD, and butterfly)

What I gotta do:
-Lots more designs
-Learn how to actually make the charms (I know the theory; I've never done it before)
-Come up with an inventory of products (like earrings, phone charms, etc.)
-Register for a website domain
-Create the website
-Acquire Adobe Dreamweaver (I can't really make my site without it; I don't know how to code without help :3 )

My lovely sister Jenny ~Ryachanira will be helping me out :] Mostly with charm designs, I think, but who knows! I will love any help she can give.

If anyone has ideas for more charm designs, that would be super-fantastically lovely! And later on, I plan on giving a few free ones away with the promise that the receiver tells everyone where they got them x] I actually have some rough plans to give all the girls in my younger cousin's Girl Scout troop bracelets or something, but the more people wearing my designs, the better! If you're interested in being a jewelry model xD you can let me know here! I'll be posting more journals as I move along in the business-building process, but it would be nice to know that people are interested C:

I got my work cut out for me x} But it will be fun! I'm excited to put lots of time and effort into a great business C:
