For a long time now folks have been telling me that I should have a website for my koi earrings. Well because of the generosity of a GOOD friend Kathy W I now have one.

I have dreamed of having a site,but you all know my computer skills well uh aren't too good.

Kathy I want to THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! for this opportunity. <<<<<<<<< she says with tears in her eyes. :'(

I hope you all visit, and please if you have any comments or suggestions to either post, or send me an Email. I sure would appreciate it.

And if you are considering a website, please shoot Kathy W an Email. I'm sure she can help you out.

With out further a do here it is way at the bottom hopefully.

The site and the product look good. I will get the wife to look. I think i'd wear a turtle around my neck on occasion.

Thank you Jerry. They are all totally made by hand by ME every single little tiny bead.

The koi take close 5 hrs. to make (give or take)

So it is actually just a labor of love.

And I do enjoy beading. And I think you would look GREAT with a turtle around your neck.

Thank you Kim for the compliment.

Yep Bonnie, you be one of the people after me.

Bonnie it's down at the bottom of my postings. I know it's kinda small. Don't know if that can be changed or not? Have to find out.

Nancy,

Thank you Steve. Just shoot me an Email. The link is at the bottom of the page. Sorry I'm not set up for Paypal. Maybe in the near future. Hey with my computer skills I'm lucky I'm this far.

But I'm learning.
Thanks for looking.
The Showas are the biggest seller.

Wow, they are beautiful. I love them! Do you or would you take check or credit card? I want one of them! You could start your own business and do very well at it.Most of us love the beaded stuff but don't or have time to learn to do it. They are great.

Thank you Lorraine, for right now checks are fine. Looking into how to do the Paypal thing.

Just send me an Email. That link is at the very bottom of the web page.

I own several pairs of Nancy's earrings, and they are just GORGEOUS! And they're as light as air! Wait until you see the holiday ones!

Nancy. Your site is cool. And I love the Koi. I will order some eventually. I don't know which ones to choose. Would you also be selling a pendant that would match and could be put on a chain to be worn around the neck? They could be similar in size or a little bigger maybe. Just a thought.

Thank you Esther. I've not thought about that, but I could easily make into a pendant, you supply the chain. NO problem. Great idea. Thank you!!!

Very nice, Nancy!

Way to go, girl.

Pa Nancy · « **Reply #15 on:** April 19, 2007, 10:51:01 PM »

Thank Ya Dave!

Esther · « **Reply #16 on:** April 20, 2007, 05:46:43 AM »

Another thought----could we special order them? Some people might have a favorite fish that they would like their jewelery to match or resemble, well be close to at least. Like I have a yellow/gold one with black stripes/patches whose name is Tiger. I don't know what his special name would be. Gracious, then I'd have to dress to match the jewelery. Am I sick to dress to match a fish?

I wished I could do that. I have a pattern software program that I SHOULD be able to do that with,but I can't figure it out.

So for now I have to stick with the patterns I have. :'(

This world of delica beads (what I use now) is fairly new to me. I have used seed beads since about 94 when I started beading. And all the time as I build my supply up I am discovering new colors. Found a couple today that might make a nice Chagoi. LOL

Dressing up to match a fish. I won't tell anybody if you don't.

Esther · « **Reply #18 on:** April 20, 2007, 08:28:21 AM »

My yellow and black one would be like the red and black Showa maybe. And I have a plain white one like the yellow earring with the white fins. I just meant to adjust the color beads acording to the colors of the fish someone had. Like using, say white beads along with the red and black.

Do you make non-pond related earrings? The fetching one isn't into koi and the like but she loves pigs....

Pa Nancy · « **Reply #20 on:** April 20, 2007, 09:32:28 AM »

Mikey the site is just up and have LOTS to add yet. I do make LOTS of unpond related items. Just keep watching.

I do have one pig. Only it's a bit "different". It's a Flying Pig. Yep a pig with wings.
