Okay, I'm not judging anyone who's making the pendants, that's fine. You can make whatever you want and I understand we all need to make a buck. But really, does this forum need to become the International Association of Pendant-turners?? I'm just getting a little pendant-overload, I'm sure others will agree. Okay, end of rant. Let the pile-on begin!

Yeah... and that goes for any bottlestoppers, keychains,bowls,tops,yo-yo's,boxes,or anything else that would come out of a workshop.

Come on people... can't we just stick to the pens????:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Brian,

For those who do shows, let me say I thought pendants were a LOUSY idea. Then Dean (Alphageek) came to the office (where exotics stuff is kept) and we discussed the viability of the "pendant". I was very firm and convinced! "A Man," I stated dogmatically, "Is NEVER gonna sell JEWELRY to a woman"!! Followed by: "There is NO SHORTAGE of GOOD jewelry vendors at any shows WE do!!!"

Dean listened attentively and just said he was gonna TRY it. (Poor naive, young man didn't KNOW that I was OBVIOUSLY correct).

So, we invited Dean to join us in MY booth at an outdoor show. Dean did VERY well selling ONLY pendants.

I can be persuaded. I was.

Wanna pass up 25% of the potential sales???? Don't do pendants.

And they SHOULD be in "Other things we make", so you CAN avoid seeing them, if you like. Jeff hasn't told us to cut back on pen posting cause he's running out of cyberspace, YET!!!
 
ROFL!!!!

I really LOVE Ed's reply... All I will ad is that IMO they are also FUN to turn.

The only thing missing from Ed's reply that I'm kinda surprised he didn't say..... If you stick around IAP long enough, you'll see things come and go... Hot new items... (the only one that comes to mind for me is those pull up toothpick holders)...

Its just that the pendants are the LATEST rage... And maybe a bit bigger than most!

Naaah, he's a gutsy young colt. Right off the track, let him "have his head", he'll get tired and be controllable soon enough.
 
I guess I can see what people are saying. But there is quite a bit on this pendant stuff. After all it is a pen forum. Hence little talk on other stuff we make and more on pens maybe?
 
I agree it should be kept in the Other things we make forum. And if I'm not mistaken Brian is the one who currently brought it up in Penturning forum, so go figure, I guess he just doesn't understand. Or he's jealous:embarrassed::crying:
 
hmm.. I haven't seen many pendants.

What pendants are we talking about? Can someone show me?

You know what they say .. no pics, didn't happen
 
Those who do not like to see or talk about pendants, Don't open the post containing pendant information, move on to something else.

Step-child? Let's see Robert Goulet was born in 1933....I was born in 1984....that means he would've been 51 when I was born? Ehh...I guess it's possible. I am actually related to him...7th cousin once removed. Like that matters right?

Thanks for the laughs everyone. I was in a weird mood this afternoon and the pendants just pushed me over the edge. I just needed a few good laughs, and THAT was my intention! Thanks!:biggrin:
