Zibbet

I closed my etsy shop. I had it open for a little less than a year but only sold three items. I admit that I haven't promoted it as much as I should. Most of my sales have been face-to-face or through the art gallery in Florida.

So, before I gave up on online sales, I'm trying Zibbet. I found out that I could list 25 items with zibbet with NO UP FRONT FEE. I love that.

So I've moved to a different address. You can find me at http://www.zibbet.com/beadqueen. Are you an artisan? Check out Zibbet. Tell 'em BeadQueen sent ya.

Photography

Photography. If one is going to have an online store, someone has to take pictures. Since I work alone that someone is me. I tried something different. I hauled everything outside on a sunny day. It's not really hard to find a sunny day in Texas. I think the pics came out better. I think I'll try closer to noon so the sun will be directly overhead next time.

Taking pics of jewelry is hard. It's time consuming. It's not fun. I like making the jewelry. But photographing it is the pits. See these pics? What you don't see is the about 100 other blurry, wasted shots. Thank goodness for digitial cameras!
