Hello My name is Monarch and I have been raving for about 3 years, and have been wearing kandi for the entire time, However before I started raving I always used to make jewelry with glass beads and etc.
I am of the opinion that only people that rave should wear kandi and there is no way for you to change that so don't even try.If you wear to be cool of whatever, I may look down upon you so be aware of that.
I design and submit patterns to this website, but in general you will never see me wearing something exactly as the pattern that was made here (I only have one that is exact, and it is from a pattern I created)
