100 Sales!

2010-09-07T09:09:00.002-04:00

Well, it finally happened!Roz Petalz Studio has reached 100 sales!!!

When I first started on Etsy 5 years ago & under a different user name, I had little luck. I was a "newbie" & didn't have a clue!!!
Since then, I have changed my name to reflect my product. This advice was given to me by many, includung the folks here at Etsy.

I renew renew renew my listings to stay at the top of the heap.

I visited the Virtual Labs & have gotten tons of tips from everything from Photography to this little gem...Etsy Search Merchandising.

http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/merchandising/
I check this every month for upcoming color trends and most of all TAGS!I have noticed a huge jump in sales since doing so.

As much as I hated the change, I think the new Treasury has helped sales as well. Views and sales go up after a feature in someone's treasury & I have been trying to make some more regularly myself.

I frequently search Alchemy for requests I can bid on

http://www.etsy.com/alchemy/?ref=fp_nav_alchemy

Not only does this help sales, but I have gotten alot of repeat business from Alchemy. Some people never even new that polymer clay would work until they see what I have to offer through a bid!

I have also joined Handmade Spark

http://www.handmadespark.com/

I have noticed a huge jump in numbers of sales and views since joining up for their low monthly fee.

And of course, I participate in the ususal "social networking" - shocking, i know!I am really excited to have reached this milestone.
I know it's not the numbers of some other shops out there, but to my little studio it's a big deal!
Peace!

Faux Techniques with Polymer!

2010-08-23T08:12:00.005-04:00

http://www.etsy.com/listing/26657420/elegance-faux-himalayan-salt-necklace

There are so many fun techniques with polymer clay that result in a "faux" finish. One of my favorites is this "Elegance" Faux Himalayan Salt Necklace.

I used a combination of translucent clay & mixed in beige and pink tones to get this effect.

Finally it was sanded and glazed with a varathane sealer for shine.

This particular piece was inspired by a trip to a famous steak house with my husband where the walls have real Himalayan salt slabs illuminated from behind. The colors and patterns intrigued me.

I think this this memory behind it is the main reason it's my favorite. I also love the fact that it is strung with freshwater pearls I purchased at my favorite, local bead store & has a handmade gold plated clasp, created by a friend of mine.

You can find many more faux techniques & tutorials here...

Happy SUMMER!

I Miss the Old TREASURY on ETSY!!!

2010-06-15T21:45:00.002-04:00

I have got to get this off of my chest.

I used to love going to Treasury & waiting for the clock to tick down to 333.
My heart would race, I'd think "don't miss the box, don't miss the box". Then, magically it would appear. I'd click and happily create my vision!
Wow - so cool.
So I went to treasury tonight to see how much longer and....
138!!!
Can you believe it? 138????!
Good Lord!!!!

The Thrill is gone!

The whole idea of Treasury East is cool - a steady never ending list of really cool stuff. At first it was awesome. I made several lists, myself. However, I find it very hard to appreciate now. It's too big - too overwhelming. I mean, where do you begin?

So, I took the opportunity to post my opinion in what else? A TREASURY! The original. Hope someone sees it.

http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=134786

I'd love to hear from you.
What do you think?

NEW Creations! My latest Brainstorm!

2010-06-07T21:28:00.005-04:00

O.K. so I have been struggling with coming up with that "unique" item that will set me apart from the rest on Etsy & make a name for myself.

I've tried many ideas, God knows, but here is my latest brain storm...

Kid's Birthdays are a popular and necessary market. A goldmine for some! I am simply addicted to clay and have to make that fit into the equation too. So the wood in my mind started to burn and I realized (being a mom, myself and on a tight budget) I need to come up with a money saving, fun and unique idea.

Drum roll please...

3 in 1 Cupcake Toppers, Craft Project and Party Favors!

This set includes…
6 handmade polymer clay ballet slippers – pierced horizontally for stringing. Approx 1.5cm size

6 toothpicks

6 clear elastic cords - more than long enough to make a child’s bracelet

Enough coordinating plastic beads to make 6 bracelets (plus several extra). *Colors and shapes of the plastic beads may vary depending upon availability.

6 organza jewelry bags for storing, labeling and organizing your craft activity (colors will vary)

Instructions for stringing the bracelets

Here’s what to do with them…

1-Simply slip each topper onto the toothpick (there is a small hole at the bottom) & insert them into your cupcakes.

2-After dessert, gather the guests to string their bracelet using the clay topper and additional beads & cord.

3-Send your happy party guests home with a fun keepsake and a bit of bling!

This is a great way to get 3 big headaches when planning a kid's party out of the way in one shot! And God knows if you were to purchase all seperately, it would cost a small fortune!

Here's hoping I'm onto something!!!

I am currently working on new designs daily! If you have any requests or ideas - I'd love to hear them!

TREASURY EAST!

2010-04-20T08:32:00.003-04:00

Love making Treasuries on Etsy?

ETSY now has a cool new feature called Treasury EAST.

This is really cool, because there is no limit to the number of treasuries you make & they do not expire! Your treasuries can also make it to the front page if applicable.

Here is my first attempt...

http://www.etsy.com/treasury/e124b47bcf8bcc4baecace00/escape-to-the-tropics

And the mind is racing with new topics and ideas!

How fun!!!

Check it out.

Have fun Etsians!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah - the temptations of Ebay!

2010-04-15T22:26:00.003-04:00

O.K. so here's the deal...

I have made a concsious effort over the last year or so to get away from selling on Ebay and focus on my Etsy shop. My reasons are basically this...

Etsy is a warm and friendly atmosphere in which to shop and sell.
They offer support and advice through the community and administration. Etsy keeps their fees low and offers free storefront set up, etc. for your shop. The people who buy on Etsy really seem to appreciate the handmade nature of items and their value.

Ebay, on the other hand, has been continuously increasing fees over the years to the point where it is simply too expensive to list many items. I had to cancel my Ebay Store awhile ago due to the extra charge for it. People who buy on Ebay (myself included, mind you) are looking for a bargain. Handmade items do not seem to get the recognition they deserve.

Alas, here is the dilemma...

Whenever I do list on Ebay I get sales! Bottom line - a HUGE marketplace equals more sales.
As much as it annoys me to get nickel and dimed for my hard work, I can't deny that I have gotten the majority of my custom orders and income from Ebay.

I can deny it no more & have gone crawling back as of tonight!

http://shop.ebay.com/kathys711/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340

May God have mercy on my soul!

Has anyone else out there found this to be the case?
Can you ease my "handmade" guilt?

I'd like to hear from you.

Changes for the better?

2010-04-09T21:50:00.002-04:00

O.K. so I asked in the Etsy forums for critiques on my shop.

I got a lot of comments regarding the pictures. Some comments were that they were "cold & sterile", the shop "lacked color", etc.

I always was of the mind set that I wanted to showcase my work, not the background.

I can take criticism, especially when I agree with it! LOL!

So, as a result, I am currently working on adding COLOR (in a simple way) to my pictures. I'm about halfway done.

Tell me what you think.

http://www.etsy.com/shop/RozPetalzStudio

Any more suggestions?

I'm getting better at this!

It may have been the Cabernet...

2009-06-17T14:52:00.005-04:00

After a recent trip to the David Burke Steakhouse at the Foxwoods Resort Casino, I became inspired!
O.K. the $12.00 glass of wine DID had something to do with it.

You see, all of the steaks are served on Himalayan Salt Slabs & even the WALLS are made out of this stuff!
It's gorgeous. The light shines through to show of the grain and texture and many colors hues within.

So, the wheels started turning & I took a few pictures. My husband rolled his eyes, etc.

When I got home I started playing around...and...viola!
Faux Himalayan Salt Beads!

I'm probably not the first, but I LOVE the way these came out.

Once I figure out what to charge, I may put them up on Etsy. Otherwise, catch it at the Milford Oyster Festival!!! I may not be able to part with them just yet!

Polymer Clay for a Cause

2008-11-10T19:03:00.001-05:00

www.polymerclayforacause.etsy.com

The most recent charitable undertaking within the PCAGOE is Polymer Clay for a Cause. Angela Moore (Elementaldragons.etsy.com) of Aurora, Colorado is the person responsible for initiating this charity. Angela’s 14-year-old daughter, Courtney, passed away from muscular dystrophy. Wheelchair-bound all of her life, Cortney endured 14+ surgeries and had pneumonia over 100 times. According to her mom, “Cortney had a desire to be artistic, but we had a lot of trouble finding something she could do, so in turn she lived (artistically) through me.” Elemental Dragons was Cortney’s idea. Angela also said that Cortney grew her hair every year and cut it for Locks of Love. It’s children such as Cortney who will benefit from the Polymer Clay for a Cause store front at Etsy. All proceeds will go to a children’s charity.

Please visit Polymerclayforacause.etsy.com and make a purchase of one of the beautiful donations.

Here is one of the beautiful pendants you can find at polymerclayforacause. Contributed by Artist: Kathy from Roz Petalz Studio at http://KathyS711.etsy.com

Pastel Pendant - is just that - a large pastel multi-colored pendant.
This is a 2″ circle pendant made of shades of baby blues and girly pinks polymer clay swirled together and then stamped with a leaves and swirl pattern for a soft earthy look. There is a finish on the pendant for protection and shine. It comes with a cream colored nylon cord for hanging. The price is just $6.99 plus shipping.
