A handmade by me swirly coil of sterling silver wire, hammered and sanded for texture.
A single rose quartz bead wrapped in handmade by me fine silver headpins, hangs from each sterling coil.
If you want, you could take the bead off, for more versatility. The ends are turned down, and hand filed and smoothed for comfort.
Ellen Weldon of Ellen's DIY is my favorite shirt seller on etsy.
Hands down.
My two Ellen Creations, A sweet "Sweeney Todd" Shirt, and a Dark Knight "Joker" Shirt, always get LOTS of looks and comments.
I plan to get a Custom Joker Hoodie before the snow flies, which, judging from the temps lately, could be any day now.
I'd better hold up on that bead order ;)
Ellen's work is the ULTIMATE in Fan Art, I just may have to get a second closet for all the wonderful things she has to offer that end up on my Etsy Favorite's List, and hopefully, in my purchuses.

So after some advice from both etsy personnel and other sellers, I changed my avatar to a product on July 31st.
Views were....meh
Hearts were....meh.
But it's summer, No Big Deal.
That's what happens in the summer, I say to myself.
The Olympics are on, and kids are going back to school.
Folks are just busy. Too busy to look at shineys.
I switched back to adorable kitten last night, at the gently pushing of a fellow etsy seller that she missed the cute kittens. I was planning to switch back to a product shot tonight.
My overall item views increased some by 10 to 20 views (even on the LAST pages)
and my shop got 7 new shop hearts, and 6 new items hearts.
OVERNIGHT!
so,
Kittens STAY!
Moral of the story?
Just because EVERYONE thinks it's "better" to do something a certain way, doesn't mean it is.
Do what has proven itself BEST for your business, even if it's not what is the "textbook" thing to do.
