I've already made a lot of progress this weekend with my jewelry pictures and inventory. I got behind a couple weeks before the Arts Festival with editing pictures and getting descriptions ready for new items, and I'm still playing catch up. There's still a lot of work to do, but I feel good about everything that I've accomplished. I also made a lot of progress editing non-jewelry pictures from this school year. I have posted everything that I want to from October through May on Facebook now and have ordered a bunch of new prints to put up at home and work.
I listed my neutral square stitch embellished cuff today.
I am really pleased with how this picture turned out. I think that it's one of the best that I've taken in a long time.
I used a few random components left over from one of my Art Bead's blogging stashes in this cuff. There are several Swarovskis as well as a handful of Czech glass beads, including Czech glass hearts. As it goes with all of my embellished cuffs, I had fun pulling components from a variety of sources. Some of the beads in here I picked out when I was making my wedding jewelry almost 4 years ago!
I lowered the cost of all of my embellished square stitch cuffs in my Etsy shop today. From here on out, they will all be $40.00.
I made a new version of my tri-color with red border triangle pendant that I sold last summer and updated the listing with new pictures today.
Because the ribbons were such a big hit at the Arts Festival, I will include ribbons with all of my pendants from now on, both on Etsy and at craft fairs. If you would like a different length and/or color than the one pictured in the listing, just let me know! I current have red, white, and black and am happy to get more colors as people request them.
I sold the coordinating bracelet for this pendant at the Arts Festival and made a new one this past week as well as a matching pair of earrings. I will list both of them sometime in the next month.
While I was taking pictures of some other new items today, I took pictures of my older turning to fall bangle whose renewal is coming up soon.
I have a handful of other older items that also desperately need new pictures. As their renewals come up on Etsy, I'm planning to update their listings with new pictures. I have a lot of respect for people who edit huge numbers of listings at once. I don't have the motivation to do that! Instead, I do my best to continue make changes a little bit at a time.
loving the new photos! beautiful work as always!

ReplyDeleteBaby Steps work. You do a LOT! Don't know why the forum ebw posts are down. The ebw yahoo group posts got interesting when sagescupboard did a great shop critique that we can all get something from.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! I appreciate that. Etsy always seems to slow down on the weekends...
ReplyDeleteYour pieces look great!

ReplyDeleteI think editing in batches instead of all at once is a good idea too :)
