So it is official, I have given up kanzashi. Well making it at least. That was until I found 5 or 6 new books that I had never seen before hidden in an Etsy shop. And I am totally going to buy them, like the one photographed on the right I just purchased. Before they go out of print, I am spending my earnings on beefing up my collection of designs. This one contains the most new flower designs, so I grabbed it first. It should be here in 2 weeks to a month.
I'm not making it anymore though. New books or not.
I still have to settle on a shop name, and I might just stick with Lilyashes. Although someone on DeviantART has already taken that title. So I was thinking something like Lily's Crafts, or something like that. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
I am working ornaments, trying to drum up some sales to buy more books. I have a teal and gold one that needs trimming, and another in purple black and gold that is almost finished. Both of them are coming out well. I have more color schemes and material than I know what to do with, I just need the time to work, and my fingers not to give out. Those little nubs on the satin pins can be damaging! But two or three more and I will have enough to set up a photography session. I am also going to remake a few that I have sold off, such as the lovely Pink Lady, and I have several fabrics I have not even cut to make balls with yet. Plus I have been searching the net to find new patterns and designs, instead of the general 3 - 4 layers of satin. So hopefully I can increase my variety in ornaments and make some sales!
For more kanzashi books, lol.
