Hi everyone! This blog posting is serving more as a question: I am thinking of contributing to the Sampler - has anyone had any experience with this? Would you recommend it? Do you have any tips for me? For those of you who don't know what the sampler is, you can visit their website: it is basically a promotional tool for those who run crafty businesses to get samples of your product out there.
For those of you who have contributed, did you find it was a good experience? Did you find that you got any increased business possibly because of your contributions? Any information about your experiences would be much appreciated, thanks!
I just learned about a great website called Designs to Love. It's a way for D.I.Y. crafters to share their ideas and designs by posting pictures of their art. There are forums to discuss the works of fellow members, and you are able to view lots of original crafts, post comments, and add designers to your favourites. The website design is nice, clean, and easy to navigate and there are various categories for different types of crafts. Please feel free to check out my Designs to Love site, I'll be adding more pictures in the near future. If you're into making crafts, hopefully you will join this site and I'll be able to see all of your wonderful works!
So far, I have made a Mario one and a Zelda one, both are available in my Etsy shop.
...the Etsyveg blog ring! Etsyveg are a group of Etsy shop owners who are vegetarians and vegans, crafting unique handmade goods. I definitely recommend that you check out the blog and the shop owners who believe in animal rights, just like I do! I have been a vegetarian all of my life (was raised that way). Here's the blog ring:
The first one that I made (to the left) is a card holder that looks like a Nintendo controller (for the Nintendo Entertainment System). I have great nostalgia for my original Nintendo and still play it on a regular basis.
The other cardholders that I've made so far are these ones that look like cassette tapes. They have glow in the dark beads in the middle so you'll be able to see them at night :)
All are up for sale in my Etsy Shop.
So, I got the idea...why not make a 3D decoration of the question mark blocks from the Mario games...that would be super fun & cute! Plus, I could hang them in my window and from the ceiling in our room for more 8-bit decorative fun! This way, it would be almost as though you could jump up and hit the block just like Mario does :)
I made a few of these for myself and my fiancé, and then started creating them for my Etsy shop where they are available for purchase. I also have a few other things up my sleeve for 3D Perler Bead art, so stay tuned! Thanks for looking!
Hello! Just thought I would share a relatively new item in my shop - video game fridge magnets! They are
needlepoint with felt on the back and a sturdy magnet. They're pretty cute and fun, and I really enjoy making them! I'm also making computer floppy disks (3 1/2") as well in the memory of older style computers since these disks aren't really used anymore!
I'd also like to share an item that I purchased from the Etsy Shop, Danger Kitty Designs - this totally awesome Olive Celtic Cuff! It is reversible so it can be worn vinyl side up, or cotton side up. I've been wearing it with the cotton side up because it has an awesome pattern on it that needs to be seen!
Here are some more images of some of the needlepoint magnets that I have made. Hope you enjoy them! :)
