The Expert answers:

While not quite a trademark search, you might check of the .com domain name is available for the name you pick, if it is there’s a good chance none of the billion others are using it. It would cost $10/yr to lock up the domain name even if you don;t make a site right away.

There are sites with tools that help you come up with fictitious names, including: wordlab.com, wordoid.com, lingzini.com, namestation.com, some of these tools look up the domain name availability as you go.

Marketer types would use a domain containing a phrase people actually search for, this would give a slight advantage in search results ranking. Perhaps VintageGreenHandcrafted.

Have you checked out the ebay of hand crafted etsy,com, you might find some inspiration there.

Maybe together you could make a belt or some type of chainemaille out of pop tops that you pull off of drink cans or pet food cans. You could make the blue jean hat and make a pop top hat band. Here is a link to something similar, although a bit advanced, but you get the idea.

The Expert answers:

Wire is made of metal which is a highly sought after recyclable…..Of course, gold is more valuable than silver, silver more valuable than copper, and copper more valuable than tin. The more valuable a metal is, the more likely that it will be recycled in small quanities; crafting wire used by an individual is not likely to be scrapped in large quantities. Another thing that affects how likely a material is to actually be recycled is its coating and/or how easy it is to actually retrieve the metal. This would include paint, plastic coatings, and whether or not it is actually encased in some other material like paster of paris. If your area or community has a process that collects and gathers small quantities of metal into a larger cache/pile the chances are all the higher that your small quanities of craft generated wire will actually be recycled.

Off the top of my head, I would think that copper wire would be the most readily recycled/resued followed by steel; that is unless you plan on using actual gold or silver.
