School

Over at http://ingevandenbroek.blogspot.com/ I'm active again, blogging in dutch about what I do on/for school.I wish I had more time for other things, since I really would like to fill my portfolio/my website better and I need to post a lot of sketches, and my webshop could REALLY use some promoting. And more items of course. I wish I would just sell something.. I don't know what's wrong with it, except that no-one knows about it and that it's on DaWanda, and although there are a lot of people on the website, I think much less people know about it compared to other websites. I dunno. I need to promote my stuff, but that's something that's reall really hard for me to do... We'll see.

Like the new banner?

The corners are far from perfect, but I really need to go to bed! Let's see what I can do maybe tomorrow!


Need to change:
- less high
- smaller, maybe longer
- better corners

DaWanda Webshop now officially open!

I listed my first item in my DaWanda webshop today! Go check my webshop out.
More items will be added soon!

Dawanda pt. 2

I've been working on the webshop again today. I added a header, like it? It's just a quickie, but it'll do for now :) I wish I could work with illustrator, but I've got no idea how to properly use the program. And at the moment I just don't have the time or patience for tutorials. We'll see.

DaWanda

Today I finally got round to do something about that webshop I've been talking about. Still, nothing really to show you. I did add a Dawanda widget to my blog (you can find it in the vertical menu on the right). And I've been reading a lot and editting my profile on DaWanda, etc. I'm so eager to put some items in my shop!



Well, would you look at that!  My DaWanda webshop!

No credit card

My bank won't allow me to have a creditcard, since I'm not officially a student at the moment. I will have to wait until I start studying again. Sigh, this really disappointed me. It means I will either have to wait for half a year or just not start a webshop on Etsy. Which was the place I wanted to start a webshop the most! (since I know nothing about Dawanda at all, and have only heard from 1 person selling there, ever). Blah.

I think this will mean I'll start a webshop soon, though. I suppose Dawanda'll just have to do. Having only one webshop to try, I guess things will go faster and I won't need every item twice. Which is much more handy. But it sucks that I can't compare shops, though. Oh well..

Crafting, Supplies and Thoughts on a Webshop

Today was a long day that went by very fast. I watched 2 episodes of Doctor Who and 6 episodes of Torchwood. I made 12 necklaces, 3 bracelets and 11 pairs of earrings. I might make even more, later. Not sure. I would like to, but maybe I should do something else now. I do know, however, I’m probably not going to watch even more episodes of anything tonight. :P Time goes by much to quickly watching a screen.

Here's a peek at my desk, it's quite full of supplies and other stuff as you can see!

Aside to making jewellery and watching my computer screen, I also sorted out some stuff like my e-mail and all the envelopes from everything I bought online the past 2 years (plus 50 envelopes! That’s mad!). Also, I had to start in another dummy (a sketchbook) because the other one was full.

Oh! Yesterday I bought some supplies for jewellery making, and I still need more! I ran out of chain (I didn’t have much to start with) and now I’m planning on making some wholesale orders since I really need the stuff.
I can’t wait for all the packages to arrive! I love getting packages, even though I had to pay for them myself :P

Anyway, I hope to open a webshop soon. I just have to figure out which is the best website to use (Etsy? Dawanda? Plain ebay?). I can’t start several webshops on different websites because most of my items are unique, so I’d have to split things up and I really don’t feel like having to do that. It would take too much thinking, I’d start doubting.

This reminds me, I’ll need to get my paypal sorted. My boyfriend Kevin pays for me through paypal, and then I pay him back. I thought it was good like that so I wouldn’t shop TOO much online, but when I start a webshop I’ll need an account of my own.

If – no - WHEN I finally decide on which website to start my webshop, I’ll have to figure out how it actually works. AND I really need some neat designs for my website and everything else I’ll use for my website and stuff (like other profiles and the webshop etc).

I’ll probably try out some webshops soon. I’ll post links when that happens.
