And the winner is...

I appreciated everyone's suggestions -- my personal favorites were "Sharp Things" and "Out of the Norm", but unfortunately I have better business sense than that (let's hope). So here is the plan, Stan. We will call the business Brass Bucket, because the majority rules. If I learned anything from the poll, it was that I have a hilariously low reader base -- but it is all about quality, not quantity right?
So here are some of my ideas for logos, let me know what you like -- it has to be a banner because I am going to get the ball rolling on etsy.com (like ebay, but for handmade stuff). If I manage to sell well, I think I will build my own webstore, and hopefully someday open actual store. I know some of you have webstores too (ahem, melissa and michelle) so I would love to get some suggestions (more like instructions) from you.





Keep in mind that the jewelry will be mostly semi-precious gemstones, copper, sterling silver, and wood beads.
These are not mine, but something like these:

Rach! You little entrepenuer (it think thats how you spell it?)... Is this so you don't have to work forever as a dietitian in the hospital? If so then I can second that!

Oh yeah... I forgot to vote. I like the second one!

The middle one (it's the easiest to read). You need to take pictures of your own stuff to show! Get everybody's jewelry appetite growling.

Rach, I think you did an awesome job on all 3! I like them in order, the top one the most, the second one second, and the third one third. I can't wait to see what you create!

rachy! all are fun logos... I raise my hand to support the second one.
and let's talk about etsy. I have been thinking about it for a while, if you do it, I'll do it too. and you can tell me how you like it/love it/hate it. okay? okay good.
i started an account about a year ago, but haven't ever posted on there. you are the inspiration i might need!
you go girl. you go.

I love it! I love the first logo with the faded words and the strips...but I loved number two also. Either one. But those are my favs! As for Melis's etsy comment...I've had an account there foa about 6 months, but have done nothing with it! I am a little nervous to use them...just because everyone there is SO creative and I am afriad people might just look around get ideas and then go and make it themselves. I have heard a lot of good about it though...I am just torn. Let me know if you start to use them and how you feel about them.
