I plan to do basic wire wrapping, silver knotwork, rings, bracelets, torcs! and other various metal bits. I do plan to specialise in silver, but will do some copper, bronze, and gold work. I have some novel ideas for kilt pins, using braided knotted wire designs done on a jig. No idea if it will work, but the idea keeps tumbling around my head. Also have some idea for broaches and cloak clasps, but I doubt there is a market for those. That said, a nice broach to clip a fly plaid would be awful nice. Wrapped wire around simi-precious gemstones and pretty bits of rock or amber are simple but elegant, as well as being true to Celtic roots.
I have a couple of ideas. Like, Sidhe Silverworks. But I don't know if that is really a good name for a business. Seems... Fringe.
I plan to try and get a small amount of business through ebay, but I really don't like the idea of hooking paypal up to my bank funds. I have some local stores that are interested. What I would like, when this is actually up and running and I have some experience under my belt to start making quality goods, is an established kilt vendor to sell some of my broaches, kilt pins, and torcs. But that will be a long time from now. For now, I am just taking baby steps with an eye on the future of what might be.
