I have a smirk on my face right now as I have an image from My Fair Lady with all of the street vendors selling their wares to the public.
Okay, so here are some pictures of the things I have been working on. I have been hard at work, even dreaming of designs in my sleep, but now that I am looking at the pictures I am thinking, "gosh is this all?" No, there is much more to do. This is just the beginning and hopefully a start at a good launch.
You can't really tell in these photos but the flower and bumblebee above and the frog and girls below are raised for a pop up effect. There is also a touch of glitter here and there. I like glitter.
I love this Paris set. The French Poodle is one of my favorites. She is so sophisticated that I felt compelled to give her a bit of snazzy glitter too.
These coster sets were really fun and easy. Each is a set of four. I am thinknig that in the fall it might be a nice gift idea to have a cup, coaster, cocoa or tea packet with a biscotti in a basket.
(edited to link enlargement pictures. Quilly it is the only way I know how to do it right now. I hope this helps.)
you make these all by yourself? wow, beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteIs that all is right!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you make the photos enlargeable and where do you sell these? You are leaving out vital info here!
Polona...yes these are what I have been working on. Thank you for your praise. It makes me blush. I have done these things for a long time as gifts and such but never thought I could sell it.
ReplyDeleteQuilly...My cousin is going to be opening a little store front next month in Boring just off of Hwy26 (do you remember the area?). She is having each one of us in the family who tends to be crafty make things to stock the store. We all do very different things so it will be interesing to see it all together. At this point I don't think they are doing a website or anything.
While not wanting to compromise my blogger friends, I have thought about running pictures of my things to sell on my side bar. I haven't found anything in the blogger guidelines that says no to that. But I don't want to be tacky or make people feel any pressure either.
As for being able to enlarge the pictures....that is a trick I haven't learned yet. Blush on my face.
Hey I recognize some of those ;).. Nice work my friend; they look great.
ReplyDeleteTerk....thanks :-) When do you wanna get together again?
ReplyDeleteQuilly...okay I added links for picture enlargement. I hope that helps.
ReplyDeletewell aren't these just the cutest!! You have a talent dear. I've seen other bloggers sell things they make and then there is that etsy link I have seen...I certainly wouldn't feel pressured! I would visit your blog if you were selling real estate! Personally, I enjoy seeing all of the creativity everyone is capable of...keep sharing...do you have anything with dragonflies? :)
ReplyDeleteYou have some serious talents there, I am always in awe of people that have crafty skills as I have sub-zero talent in that department! How wonderful that you cousin is opening a store, and to have all of your families things in it, it should be great!
ReplyDeleteThose are really lovely. I especially love the 3rd and 4th sets of cards, and the coasters are my favorite of all. Those would make a great gift.
ReplyDeleteVery cool designs! Lisa makes cards like these all the time too. I call myself the stamp widdow.
ReplyDeleteFYI I just completed and posted the meme you tagged me with the other day.
Joni...what is an esty link? Goodness I stil lhave so very mcuh to learn with all of this computer stuff.
ReplyDeleteDragonflies, now there is an idea. I will work on some things and let youk now. I love dragonflies.
And than kyou for your encouragement my friend.
Mima...thank you I am excited. I am trying to not think of what might or might not happen. For now I am just having fun maknig tons of stock. If nothing sells, well then I will have cards and gifts for people for a while.
Jennifer...thank you so much. You know,I was about to say that those are my favorites as well but I think it all depends on my mood. Sometimes I really like the cutsy ones and sometimes I fall head long for the dainty elegant.
Jeff...My hubby can really relate. I think he has given up on saying "are you going to get some sleep tonight?"
Good luck, Jules. It's a beautiful selection.
ReplyDeleteHi Jules!
ReplyDeleteyou need to visit www.etsy.com
it's a community of crafters that promote handmade goodies to buy and sell...and you can post a link right on to your blog! For a good example visit Patti from Treasure Barn (her link is on my blog) and you can get an idea of what it is all about...you should seriously consider this! I'm excited for you! keep us updated...
David...thank you for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteJoni...What a cool thing! Thank you so much for the link and the information. I had no idea that was available. I will have to do a bit of research when we get back from camp.
Blogger doesn't have rules against selling. Wordpress does. That's why I'll be moving my blog soon.
ReplyDeleteI could think of someone that would be blessed to buy some fo your coasters, ME!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many hidden talents. What else can you do?
