pulp series

okay, so here's my idea for the new names of the different types of "pulp" earrings.

first, a little about "pulp." i call these earrings "pulp" because they are all made from paper, and because four letter words are just really sweet. some of them are made using recycled magazines, photos from old art books, found images, etc., and are called "re-pulp".
the ones that are specifically made from pictures of larger classic artist works are called "classic pulp" and the ones made from local artist drawings, rendered specifically for the earrings (these ones soon to come!!! my friend molly is working on some right now!) will be called "local pulp".

any suggestions?
any requests?
any wishes, hopes, dreams---jewelry and non-jewelry-related?

also, anybody who wants to submit designs, i think the way i'm going to do it is this:
you decide a price for a print and i basically buy the design for a fair price (not sure what that would be yet) and either:
a. copy at my will and pay a small royalty per pair sold
b. only make what can be produced from the couple of prints i buy up front

i couldn't pay a lot for the designs, because i would have to still make a profit for my time and supplies, but the idea is that artist collaboration creates community; provides networking, visibility, and marketing for all involved; and artwork that wouldn't necessarily be affordable to a lot of people as an original or large printed piece, would become more accessible to the frugal consumer (thus providing you with great advertising!)
