MOVING HOUSE

I will be offline for up to two weeks while I move house. I am changing service providers and it takes them that long to get organised.

Thanks to people for your comments and support. I look forward to posting more once I am back online.

Watch for new products and new lines for my Etsy shop.

Something to Crow About

I wanted to promote a seller on Etsy called PlasticRooster. She does the most amazing drawings!. Below is a drawing of my cat she did. She does custom work, and is really good at it. I'm very happy with my drawing. Please visit her shop. Thanks.

New Wallet Design

I've been trying to come up with a design for a decent wallet for a while now. This is the prototype. I need to change a couple of things, like the width, but other than that it's pretty good.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Random Sale in My Etsy Shop

Due to the fact I am moving in a couple of weeks and need some cash really badly for the extra expenses, I have decided to have a sale in my Etsy shop. This is a Random sale. This means that the percentage off for each day will be different.

It could be anywhere from 5% up to 50% off. So you could get the bag above for as little as $10 plus shipping.

The sale will run until Valentine's day. You will need to check my shop each day to find out what the percentage off for that day is. Today it is 20%.

So be quick. Things won't last long in my shop with people being unsure of what the percentage off will be from day to day.

Featured Artist - NoraLynneDesigns

1. Name: Nora Lynne Rogers

2. Etsy Shop: NoraLynneDesigns.etsy.com

3. How did you start creating your artwork? Like most art-minded, it started when I was a kid. Instead of playng outside or watching cartoons, I was always holed up in my room playing with modeling clay, chunky bead, stained glass kits- anything I could get my hands on. Making things became a habit for me, and as I got older I learned to love the functionality of many of my pieces. Instead of paying for jewelry, I could make my own and then not only was I wearing something pretty, but I was wearing a symbol of pride.

4. How do you describe your style? Eclectic. I hate making the same things over and over, which is why most of my stuff is one-of-a-kind. And I love playing with colors, so that gives a lot of versatility to what I can do. I love being able to have any woman come up to me, and in the end walk away with something she loves.

5. What other types of artwork would you like to try? All of them! Seriously, the polymer clay was my most recent venture and now I am stepping into acrylic painting and photography. In the future I see PMC, and cold porcelain clay. Maybe I'll even step into the past and do a little decoupage.

6. What are the primary ways you promote your business? I promote both my website and Etsy shop through LiveJournal and MySpace (both usernames are Butterflysedai). I frequent the Etsy forums and the Red chat room, send out business cards with every order and I also do The Sampler (http://www.homeofthesampler.com) when I can.
