About Me:

Hello Everyone! I love taking photographs. I am most at peace and feel a oneness with GOD when I am photographing nature. I have been photographing for over 30 yrs...wow...yes, I was a teen. My hopes are to get my shop up and running, donate to a Christian Organization, and work from home instead of returning to corporate america.

At 6:52pm on June 25, 2009, Heather Lynde said…: Kathleen, I was originally in business with a friend and that didn't work out well. So now I am out on my own and I really need to get my act together. I have so many projects started and so many things that still need to be listed. I have had very few sales this time around and I have allowed it to get me down. I need to get business cards out there. I know that is what started the sales process last time. I know how to make this work...however...I lack motivation right now and am searching for that things that lights a fire under me. I did just purchase some new fabric on line and I think that will help when I receive it. Let me know if you need any help in getting your shop going. I do have a bit of knowledge and I would love to help you out in any way possible.

At 10:03am on June 24, 2009, J Crawford said…: Kathleen, I so wish I had some great advice to offer you, but this whole etsy experience has left me totally unsure of what is going on out there. I've been designing/crafting for more than 25 years now, 20 of those years spent professionally designing for others. I could give you great advice about what to do "out there", but in etsy it is a totally different ballgame somehow.
Maybe, because it is an online community, they are concerned that if they take you up on the offer they will start getting endless emails? (I made a connection that started doing that almost immediately...it was something I did NOT expect, and definitely wish they had asked permission to do.) Maybe they feel like there "must be a catch" of some other sort? I tend to find that people are sometimes hesitant to accept that it is just to get your product out there. Or, maybe, since we are all artists there who know how much doing a promotion like this can cost, they are hoping that those who are not selling on etsy will take advantage of it first?
I wish I could be far more helpful, and find that whole "magic button" thing myself, but it sure doesn't seem to be happening. I've always had product that is very well received, so this has been a bit of a shock to me considering nothing is moving. As one very sweet person suggested to me, maybe my things are very seasonal (and, yes they are, I'm working on doing that somewhat differently over the next few weeks), or, maybe they just don't appeal to people outside my local area, but I definitely feel your frustration.
Your photographs are wonderful though Kathleen, you have a beautiful and amazing gift for color and placement and composition. Don't give up, it's wonderful to see the gifts of God through the lens of someone who appreciates them so!

At 5:42pm on June 23, 2009, Sharon Fullen said…: Thanks so much for all the advise. I've quickly read everything so I didn't overlook it - now I'll go back and review everything step by step. One issue I have with the unnecessary reflections that you mentioned is that the lightbox seams always appear in the background. Pearls are especially hard as they get little black eyes.

I'll be on a quick vacation so when I return on Monday I'm certain I'll have some questions.

Thanks again for the support. I'm glad the pics here look better. Did you go to my main Rose of Sharon Jewelry web store or my Flickr account to look at pics?

Don't want to take advantage of your wonderful offer but I have really spent a lot of time trying to master this. I've tried to error on the site of color accuracy (as much as that can ever be done online) so people won't be surprised when they receive the piece of jewelry.

Again, thanks so much for your valuable time. If I can ever be of assistance, let me know. My background is in marketing and am a published business author (Writes-a-lot)

At 12:23am on June 23, 2009, Sharon Fullen said…: Would love to have some photo tips. I've struggled with white balance for some time. I have a Canon Rebel, lightbox, pro lights and use computerized software to set exposure, etc. via laptop. I also use Photoshop to tweek but am not satisfied.

Obviously, you've noticed too. Would really appreciate your input. Will send you my direct email via your site as recommended.

At 11:28pm on June 17, 2009, J Crawford said…: Keep me informed about how the offer goes, how many requests you get, etc if you don't mind...I'd love to hear how it works out for you. I agree with you, I seem to get more people from this site looking at my store than I do on Etsy. I do hope it does create lots of business for you (and not just the giving away of the (almost)free stuff!)!

At 3:18pm on June 17, 2009, J Crawford said…: Kathleen, your photos are absolutely beautiful. Please let me know how your free sample card experience goes. I've considered doing something very similar, but am afraid of being inundated by requests for free stuff. Good luck!

At 2:23pm on June 11, 2009, CraftyAngi said…: Hello there. I found your shop after you responded to the comment I left on the forum boards. I am looking to do cross promotion on my etsy shop and on my blog. You responded to my post the other day!
