		<description>I found your art jewelry blog by chance, and love the quality and creativity of your members. I have also tried to sell on ETSY, but not have had the same success as selling locally face-to-face. I make each jewelry component by hand, then combine the glass beads, silver, and ceramic work into necklaces. I&#039;d love feedback, and to be considered for your collective.

		<description>Hi Lily,

You would qualify as far as your work is concerned (especially with that piece using the druzy and Russian twist rope), but your profile says you belong to Etsy Beadweavers, and we had to stop accepting members who belong to more than one team. If you are interested in making AJC your only team you could come in. We have several people who do beadweaving and I believe it is an art that should be preserved and appreciated by the public.</description>

		<description>I am an appreciator of what you are working to do.  I too make one-of-a-kind pieces, high quality workmanship and materials.  Much of my jewelry work is up-scale/high end pricing.  Haven&#039;t sold a piece on Ebay, switched to Etsy...where I truly like it better...still no sales for the up-scale buyer.

Please, tell me what I can do to help in return should you decide to admit me to this group.

Kind Regards,
Lily Wrey</description>

		<description>Hello,  
I just recently learned of your group and would like to be considered for membership.  I certainly agree that my shop on Etsy cannot support the customer base I need to sell my higher end jewelry pieces.  I finally had to break down and sell items made from more inexpensive materials to meet the Etsy demand.  Although there is a place for that type of  jewelry I&#039;d prefer it not be my mainstay.  I
want to maintain the standards I&#039;ve had pre-Etsy...using only precious metals and high quality materials.  I&#039;d be happy to send you photographs of my work or you may want to browse my shop for ideas of my style.  Thanks for your consideration.

		<description>Hi Rosalie,

The convo system is Etsy&#039;s private message system. It only takes a few minutes to set up a free account on Etsy if you don&#039;t currently have one. The Etsy system also allows you to attach photos if you have not had time to start listing items yet in your shop.

If you would, please attach pictures of your work there. We may start accepting non-Etsy members in the future once we have a free-standing group website (other than our blogs) , but don&#039;t currently.

Our e-mails (group leaders/officers) are going to soon be inundated with pictures for our upcoming magazine ad, so we really need to keep other stuff to a minimum when at all possible. 

To have your work reviewed please contact me on Etsy for the time being . Just type in Giftbearer once you are registered and that will bring up a box for you to type in and a place to attach pictures below.

We look forward to seeing your work.

Sincerely,

Pippit Carlington

Coordinator

		<description>Sorry I never saw this until now and that is why you never got an answer.  I have still not set up anything but will send you photos tomorrow. What is the email address they should be directed to.  I do not understand what a Etsy conversation means.  Thanks and sorry Rosalie Could you send something to my email address so that I can send photos of what I do.</description>
