Handmade Tote Bag Tutorial
To make this quick and easy shopping bag you'll need two 40" x 20" pieces of different fabric: one for the outer bag and one for the lining. Draw the pattern on a large piece of paper and cut out. Cut two pieces on fold from each fabric. Pin pieces for the outer bag right sides together and sew along the sides and the bottom. Do the same with th......

I finally took the plunge and listed some of my photos and digital artwork on some Zazzle products over the weekend. Not much there yet, but I'll see how it goes. The products aren't handmade, but it's just another way of branching out with the business.
I am also working on incorporating some of the designs into handmade (nonceramic) pendants, but still have some research to do on that. It's something that I can do in less time while getting enough together to fire the kiln. That will probably take a bit longer now since I have some tendonitis in my left hand and arm...the braces I have to wear most of the time get in the way of doing a lot. You just don't realize how much you depend on being able to move them until your movement is limited. I started the physical therapy for it and hope that will get me back to normal soon.

Typical Etsy. Sweeping it under the rug and trying to silence those who speak the truth.

Google also collects and saves you IP address, search information, websites you visit, etc. I won't use Google search or their browser. I have gmail, but that's all. Other search engines collect information too, but from studies done, Google is much worse than the rest of them.

General Discussion / Has anyone sold on Zazzle or sites like it?

Has anyone had experience with selling on Zazzle or similar sites? I have developed some artwork that I was considering using for pendants (not ceramic), but I also wanted to look into selling on sites like Zazzle. How does it work and is it worth it?

The phone number is my cell phone number. I would not want to give Google any more information than they already collect...they are way too invasive for my liking.

I saw the option to print different designs on moo.com. I used the picture because of the shop name, but I could use some of my irems too. I'll have to check on the print. I think it's the font making it look like bold.

I think there are some people who cater to online sellers to make banners, logos, business cards, etc., but I do my own designs. You know what you want better than anyone else.

Thank you for the link, Pam. I had downloaded software that Avery had and also some of the templates. Now I am all set to print my own cards.

Since I have a full time job, I work on my business on weekends and in the evenings if I don't have to work too late. No rest time here.

« on: March 03, 2013, 07:54:49 PM »
I understand why a seller would not want to have their views counted in their own shop. Doing this would not show the actual views from potential buyers. The other sites I am on don't count the seller's views in their own shop when they are logged on. I view my own listings when posting the links to them to other sites for backlinks, and that could add up. I don't know how the other sites do it or what is involved, but it would be nice to know how many potential buyers viewed my items and not have them mixed in with my views.

Why not send them to all customers, whether they buy from here or not. I don't have cards yet, but when I e-mail buyers from Etsy, they will see this shop listed below my name in the e-mail. Anything to get more buyers to come here instead of there.

Thanks for the help and advice about the phone number.
Pam, which Avery program are you using, the online printing, downloadable program, or a template? The downloadable one does not have my cards in it. It is call limited edition, so I suppose that means it is limited as to what you can do in it.
