  Nancy, I taught Chen style.
  Actually got to take a class from Master Chen one weekend! Talk about intimidating! A very gentle man but the energy that flowed from him was powerful!

  Good question! I’m ALWAYS asking myself the same thing. I have very small wrists so it would be too long for me but I find that I make most of my bracelets to sell anywhere from 7 1/4 to 8 inches long and some people say they’re still too small!

  It also depends on the size [...]

  So glad you made a sale too!

  I’ve got to ask, several people here at LB have said they sell things as they are wearing them. So, do you tell them it’s for sale when they comment on it?
  I’ve had people admire items I’m wearing but they’ve never asked if they are for sale. [...]
