Hi Fran,

I attempted to purchase some items from your online store and use the 20% coupon that ends today, 12/26/12 but I could do neither. I look forward to when your shop opens again next week. I am hoping I will be able to order and use the coupons as well. Thanks for your products and videos. Happy New Year!!

Hello Tina, happy new year to you too!! We're open again but that coupon has expired. Since you contacted me before it did, I'll be happy to refund your discount once your order comes through. Let me know if I can be of help in any other way, and have fun :) little-windows..com

Im Sorry im confused. Did they already have Resin before you put them on the Tray? I was just wondering because they look so shiny, then you went over it again?

Thanks in advance :)

[FranLittleWindows]

Yes, all of the pieces I'm demo-ing with from 0:45 on were already created using our brilliant molds, then I add a second Domed-Up layer of resin on top. Our resin is special in many ways - it's the safest you'll find, it's fun and easy to work with, and it bonds to itself seamlessly, so you can layer, and layer, and layer and it will be clear and beautiful!

Ha! Best wishes, keep an eye on our e-newsletter for upcoming print projects and other editorial coverage, and you can always check out our Little Windows Project Center for a library of amazing resin projects :)

Thanks Fran, thanks for the reply ! I'm a stock photographer (part time) for Dreamstime so I am hoping to make these with some of my stock photos to sell at craft fairs in the very near future and some personalized with family photos for locals I know around here along with jewelry which I am also just learning to create. I'll scout the competition and charge as much as possible. How many magazines do you contribute to ? Because i may want to subscribe. THANKS !

Hello KevP951, have fun with your creating! I'm not sure what you mean about selling price, do you mean what can you charge for pieces you make? Retail or wholesale? What market will you be targeting? Much has to do with your competition and the price levels your market will bear. Of course, you can charge more if you customize your creations in some way. You'll also need to figure out your cost of goods including any jewelry components, packaging, etc. In short, there are many factors.

so anyway i ordered your full set of molds today from your Ebay distributor since they ship from Wisconsin instead of Cali because i figured the s/h is cheaper to Illinois (was only 3.50). They do carry all your products including the "make 3" kit in the gift case so i sure hope they are a LW authorized reseller anyway... so if all goes well I'll be oredering more stuff, still would like to know the avg selling prices tho

[kevp951]

imagine my surprise yesterday at Barnes and Noble to find your article in one of the Craft n Jewelry making magazines when i was studying up on the subject. Once you have all the supplies at what cost can these be made and what is the average selling price to a buyer at a tradeshow with just ordinary photos like peacock, etc.. ??? thanks for any reply..
