I Love Willy Wonka

Okay, so I'm ready.
Finally.
To start an etsy shop.

Problem is, I have no idea how to price my items.

Observe the photo (click it for a more detailed view). How much would you personally pay for that necklace? It didn't take too long to make; > 1 hour, roughly.

Also, I need to get rid of three months worth of Samplers that I've accumulated. I would offer them for free, but I need money BAAAAD. So, I'm thinking of making a page for them on etsy and providing a link to an ebay page where people can go bid-happy. Would that be a good idea?

Blaargh. Anyone who provides input will be rewarded with a HEAPING PLATEFUL of e-cookies.

Well, I meant to send this in for the Holiday Sampler, but unfortunately things have been so hectic around here that I just didn't have enough time to finish it in time. So I'll send it in for February.
What you see here are amazonite rings and handmade gingerbread man stationary. Okay, so gingerbread men may not be entirely appropriate for February, but we don't care, do we???

I won't be able to make the November Sampler, but here's my contribution anyways....







Mmm. Coconut!

Here's my trade with the lovely Aimee of little dear, which just totally made my day. There was also a plastic panda kit and a paper crane, which are proudly on display on my dresser ^__^. I absolutely adore everything. Aimee, your package should be in the mail soon but gahh! I haven't received the earrings posts from ebay yet...Oh, well, all the more time to make more stuff!




New "business cards" for the Sampler. Sneek peeks coming soon......

So here it is. The topic everyone is discussing: Hurricaine Katrina. It's really amazing to see how people are uniting together for this one cause. Although I cannot fathom as to why people could possibly think of their own profit at a time like this.
I really want to donate something to Crafter's United, but i don't know if they accept people who don't have an online shop, or have never sold anything online. I also don't have any time at all right now, what with school starting at all, but I think i can find a few minutes (or hours, you know....) to put together a little something.

On a side note, Bush's polls are at an all-time low. ha, good riddance. I just feel this hurricaine could have been handled a lot better than it was.

Hmm, her hair looks oddly manly but I like her dress.








Heh. I love this little guy! Too bad his head's a little misshapen in the first one.

Here the little rascals are zip-locked and almost ready for shipping.
The happy clouds are so cute, they almost make me queasy :D

Here is 1/5 of my October Sampler contribution: 5 fabric flower finger rings and 20 happy cloud pins.

Sorry for the relatively crappy pictures :). My flash has been acting up lately.

I tried uploading them directly to the lj, but somehow they never showed up. Anyone know how to fix it???

Hmm...so this is my first post. I know my lj is currently ugly and plain and boring, but I hope that'll change soon :). I'll be using this blog mainly to showcase some of my artwork and crafty endeavors.
Oh, and friends! I am badly in need of lj friends, lol
