Yep, more shameless pimping...but something new! It's not just me anymore---now, the bf's got an etsy shop too!

So most of y'all know I quit my job last fall (I know, it seems ridiculously foolish in the economic climate right now, but it was the right thing to do) and, whilst looking for a new gig, have been pouring myself into my creative outlets. I worked really hard to prep for my very first craft fair (as Hexkitten Designs) in February, and I did really well! Made a lot of sales, got great feedback and even got orders to ship out. It was truly a success, even if still just a PT endeavor. I came up with some new products that were really well received, and I'm now shamelessly whoring them here on Tribe: namely handpainted hexes on rustic wooden medallions, and needlework patterns of my designs!

The cross stitch patterns are doing really well---to my surprise and delight---and I've already sold a bunch of them on the new etsy shop. People LOVED them at Pantheacon, so I'm feeling like buying that design program was a good investment. To start, I've created some patterns for my tattoo style designs, and posted them in my new etsy shop: HelloSailorStudio.etsy.com. I also have mini versions of all my hex designs in cross stitch patterns (12 total), though they're not listed in the HexKittenDesigns shop yet. Soon though, soon!

And last but most definitely not least, I'm pimpin' for the boyfriend, too. Joshua makes awesome silver jewelry and accessories, and he's just getting his etsy shop started: LioncraftStudio.etsy.com. He makes gorgeous silver twist hair sticks, penannular brooches (traditional Celtic pins for cloaks, shawls etc), bracelets and other accessories. Please check him out, and who knows...maybe you'll be his very FIRST sale! (hint hint hint)

To summarize...

GO HERE! PLEASE SHOP! SUPPORT THE ECONOMY & YOUR STARVING ARTIST FRIENDS! :)
