Business Cards

I've had the same business card for nearly a year now, it's a beautiful card designed by another Etsy seller. For the past year, I've been printing these on really nice glossy cards on my computer. The really nice glossy cards cost about $20 for a package of 200 cards from Office Max.

In reading the Etsy forums today, I discovered Gotprint. I just ordered 1000 glossy, full color business cards (I just uploaded the PNG file to their website) for $21.95, and that even included shipping. That's about what I spent on a package of cards alone, not to mention the amount of ink a full color card can suck up. I feel like the folks in the V-8 commercials.

I recently reduced prices of my jewelry in my etsy store. Two of my Junk Charm Bracelets are sold so better be quick as I won't be making anymore of them.

Me, I've been making a whole ton of maille bellydance belts.





This one's made with bright aluminum in King's weave and decorated with a whole bunch of little beaded Kuchi earrings and Kuchi coins. It's fairly quiet but I like the colors and how it bounces.





This one's the infamous ultra-heavy-duty Kuchi fusion belt. Pendants, coins, swaggies, metal everywhere . . . I like to take it out and rattle it every so often.





This one's not a belt, but I like it anyway. It's a super-sized and super-clunky layered Byzantine maille necklace. I love that it's shiny and that it's not super-heavy . . . but I still wonder what kind of tan lines it'd leave behind come summer. :P



Now to figure out if I really want to get into the ren faire this year . . . What do you guys think?



(PS: More shines are up at my etsy!)

I finally put up some skirts that have been sitting around waiting to be posted. I might have to retake the pictures-but not bad for a 6 year old.
Take a look at my other skirts available. I also take weekly payments for skirts and custom order.
