Secret - Esty European Team Challenge - My Creative Space




I'm a happy and proud member of the Etsy European Team. Especially I love the weekly challenges. The theme of this week is Secrets. I tried to do something new for it: to make beaded flowers on wires. To the left is my first one. The secret (even for me :) is how will the second one look when finished. To see other beautiful entries, please, visit toosis' blog .

Monday Moodboard and a Find

Another find of today: a news letter by an Etsy colleague:


This week I would like to focus on three topics blogging, 
top rated Etsy items, and wholesaling your handmade goods.

First off blogging.  As you know I love to blog. You signed
up for this newsletter from my blog.  My blog averages about
10,000 visitors per month maybe less maybe more.  I am starting
a and exciting project and it starts with helping you gain more
exposure for your blog.  I am looking for all types of blogs
and blog posts to feature over on my blog and eventually
my new site.  These blog posts can be about anything, handmade
features, how-tos... you name it... When you submit your post
I will review it, once it is featured I will give you a heads
up.

To submit your posts just head over to my blog:

Second is some top rated Etsy items.  You may not know, but
I have been working close with Handmade Compete on a new
Etsy item Critiquing System.  It launched last week and
the results are rolling in. This system allows sellers and buyers
to critique every item on Etsy. This system will allow buyers to
get a feel for what others are thinking about their items.

You can find the top 10 rated Etsy items here:


Lastly wholesaling your handmade goods.

I have personally sold my metal in 15 galleries around the
country.  Some of these have been wholesale accounts and
some consignment.  My best experience has been with the wholesale accounts.
There is less work involved as far as managing your products goes.
You need to be very organized and present yourself professionally.
One of the ways to stay organized to use a product line sheet.
This is something that I did not use when I was wholesaling or even
consigning.  Another Etsian who is super successful at wholesaling
is putting together an amazing wholesale line sheet kit.  She is
not finished with it yet, but I am super excited for this cause
I really want to get back into wholesaling. When she is finished I will
send you the link.


Have a great week,

Tim

A first try of a new thing and a great find




As the first sales of this year swapped some money into my PayPal account I purchased a pattern making tool. As Renate from the European Team on Etsy challenged us to do something new, I started to try it out. Don't know, how to export and send the patterns to others, yet, but this is still a beginning, and I hope to learn fast and to start selling them.

And I found this Prosperity Prayer Affirmation  in my e-mail box a couple of days ago.

New Creations in my Fresh Water Pearl Line - Jaunas Rotas ar Saldūdens Pērlēm



I'm ill, don't have much energy, but still in a kind of creative mood. :)

Today I listed some new creations in the pearl line of my jewelry shop on Etsy .

Wednesday

New Creations in my Rose Quartz line - Jaunas Rotas ar Rožu Kvarcu



Rose quartz is one of the January birthstones. 



Rose quartz is known as the love stone. It helps the user feel a strong sense of self-worth, therefore being worth love. Rose quartz is the stone of universal love. It is also the stone of love in marriage.


It gives inner peace and helps in all matters pertaining to love in all its forms. Rose quartz opens the heart to love. It also helps as a rejuvenator to the skin.



Pink color is believed to

calm feelings

neutralize disorder

bring relaxation

contribute to acceptance, contentment


At the beginning of the new year I made and listed some new affordable one of a kind jewelry with this gemstone in my Etsy jewelry shop that fits well in the line I already had there.
