About Me:: I love to create things. I love seeing raw materials take shape and turn into new and exciting things.
Seeing a pile of shiny new rings turn into intricate chainmail jewelry... seeing some brightly colored socks turn into a new Sock Friend... seeing spools of wire and a few beads turn into expressive, vibrant pendants.
The process is as much a thrill for me as the end result.

Thinking about the holidays and thinking about the environment...

I'm surprised to be thinking about Christmas and the winter holidays already, but I guess as a seller/retailer this is about the right time.

Christmas time often makes me think about the environment, as I feel that there are so many holiday practices that are wasteful. One of the big ones I think of is wrapping paper. I just want to share one thing that I do to combat this:

I know many of us here on Indie Public sell on Etsy but do you also sell on DaWanda?

I am putting together a 5 part blog post over this weekend to talk about how to use DaWanda to expand your business, why it can benefit you, who is buying on DaWanda & what you need to know to be successful there!
