That's me tooting my own horn! I had my silk screen class today and we did our first two color project and I LOVE what I did. It is a pattern of birds with a larger bird in gray. I have been wanting to do a line of cards or art prints using silk screen, and this is my first attempt and again I have to say I LOVE IT. dooot daaaa da doooooooooo. Tooting my own horn again! Here is what I did.
Here are
some cuties that are heading into the shop as
soon as I can get photographed and posted to the shop. Now that my worker mice
are back from their trip to Boca Raton and are busy sewing and prepping
for a big shop update the photo hippos have left for a mud spa retreat. So I am
left to do all the work myself... AGAIN! So I am working as fast as I can. The
donkey is super adorable, especially with those spots. I don't think that I
have ever seen a spotted donkey. The two owls are actually salt and pepper
shakers. So not only will you get salty and pepper the owls you will also get a
dose of wise-ness along with seasoned food.
Since my sneak attack generated so many sales my store looked like it barely survived a Black Friday blow out sale. It is pretty bare and I am slowly stocking the store back up. Unfortunately my worker mice have the week off and I am relegated to doing all the work myself so I am working as fast as I can. I hope those mice are enjoying their time in Boca, must be nice having such a wonderful boss. Pleas stop by the store and check out all the goodies.
Last week I was happily minding my own business being an anonymous esty seller with only a couple sales to my name and then bam!!! I exploded onto the esty scene of "a store with multiple sales!" Did the entire esty buying population finally realize that my store was packed with everything and anything that they now could not live without? Well not really, but close. I was sponsored by Tennekka of MODNAROS by Tennekka on the site handmademovement.com as a "victim" or featured seller. What's a Sneak Attack? Every weekday at an appointed time, an Etsy shop with few or no sales is announced on the site. As many people as possible then buy items from that shop, resulting in a frenzy of surprise business to the unsuspecting shop! A frenzy and a surprise it was. I want to extend a huge hug and thanks to all that participated. It has already created momentum for my little shop and I have had two additional sales since "the big day" as we call it around here at monkeys always look headquarters. As well it has made me super motivated and my brain hasn't shut off since then, resulting in many sleepless nights and headless chicken running as I scurry around creating more goodies to stock the shop. Check back soon on the monkeys always looks etsy store.
