I love the purse charms, Carolyn! Elizabeth, your beads have the Michigan colors! You could sell these to Michigan fans easy! Since I&#8217;m an Ohio State Buckeye fan, Mary, your beads remind me of Ohio State! Yes, I got sports on the brain! <\/span><span style=\"color: #800000;\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Catalina<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Isn&#8217;t it so fun how we can link polymer clay to just about anything and everything that&#8217;s important in our lives!?

This gives me the chance to make sure everyone&#8217;s questions get answered effectively, and in a timely manner.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Q&amp;A: Product Info &#8211; Caring for Polymer Clay Jewelry:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Hi Cindy! I am selling my first piece and want to include some information about precautions to use when wearing polymer clay jewelry (e.g. don&#8217;t spray perfumes or hair sprays near the pieces, etc.). Do you have any such verbiage I could use to include with this piece of jewelry? Thanks so much! <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #800000;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Jenny-S<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This is an interesting question Jenny. Not one I&#8217;ve had before, though I do know what you&#8217;re talking about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I think, with any marketing materials you put together, it is important that your own voice shines through. This is especially the case when it comes to selling artistic creations such as original jewelry designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So with something like this, the verbiage really depends on what your style is. If you are selling Gothic Jewelry to young women, the way you word things would be quite different than if you were selling a string of pearls to an older lady.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Taking your style into consideration, just say something along the lines of&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Just like with all precious jewelry, polymer clay creations should be treated with care. Protect them from hairspray, perfumes, etc., and wipe with a damp cloth from time to time to keep clean.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Now, if you&#8217;re selling to Teens, say something more like&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Polymer Clay Jewelry Rocks, so don&#8217;t get gunk all over it. Hairspray, Gel\u00a0 and perfume will wreck it&#8230; so keep it away! If it gets grubby, clean with a damp cloth. Then get ready for all the compliments you&#8217;re gonna get!<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<table style=\"background-color: #f2ecd8; width: 512px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>**************************************************************************************************<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>** Calling All Community Members: <\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you have ideas, answers, tips or stories to share in regards to any of the questions or topics posted above, please add your thoughts below.
