Adding the Finishing Touches

10/4/2015

Doing Work!

I have been incredibly busy, because when you apply to 274 jobs and they all end up getting back to you three months later all at the same time, it can get wild quickly! As of now, I have 3 part-time gigs to sustain my lifestyle (online shopping, Caesar salad, coffee and Amazon Prime). This is the investment I need for my new business! So after working all week as a librarian and fill-in receptionist and then prepping for my illustrator course all weekend, Gahh! I was finally able to play with my newly ordered supplies and materials, porcupine quills galore. Wahoo!

I love playing around and testing out new ideas, so I am so excited to share some on my ideas for earrings. I do need to start cutting them out and add the final touches! I am so inspired and excited to get this shop up and rolling.

I hope to finally start selling within the next two weeks! It can be so intimidating to decide which product to start with though! Actually, one of my besties urged I need to just go for it and test the waters to see what works! She is exactly right, but it also could be a mixture of day drinking and liquid courage that helped us come to the obvious realization!

Playing with new materials.

AND LOOK WHAT CAME IN!

I think this makes me and the business pretty official, even if I haven't got the business license yet! Which I plan on doing Asap Rocky, but look how fresh the newly designed stickers, business cards and promotional postcards are.

Stickers!

Let me know what you think!
*Update* SHOP COMING SOON.
