OCD, beads and stitch markers

This week I tried my hand at making my very own beaded stitch markers. I only planned on making a few but then the OCD kicked in and well, before I knew it...

I made 155 stitch markers. So, how does this happen you ask? I wish I knew. I seem to do this anytime I find a new crafty interest. Add to that my manic nature and I am a stitch marker making machine.

Some closer views of my hard work.

Some close ups, not all that clear but I think you get the picture.

I had so much fun making these. I'm not entirely sure what to do with all of them. I was asked by my favorite LYS owner if I wanted to sell them. I'm not sure what the market is for these. Comments would be so appreciated it. If you have ever sold them I'd love all the details. For now, I will go.

I's say, sell them - just set up a gallery with photos of sets, price including shipping, and you are set.

Love the beads you chose!

I've been trying to make some of my own and having the hardest time getting the wire wrapped neatly--it keeps snagging on things. (How DO you hold a piece of wire still enough to be able to coil the end around like that?) Gorgeous!

I joined a Stitch marker swap to purge my stash as I had made over 200 in the past month. It is still open to join you can check it out at http://stitchmarkerswaps.blogspot.com
