I'm about to launch some kind of selling site... finally I have got my finger out and have sorted some limited prints of some of my scarf designs. Its toe in the water kind of thing and I have picked a selection of designs and colours in a fairly arbitrary way a mixture of those I particularly like and those which got most commented on along the way of the design process and final showing.
I have spent quite a lot of time trying to set up a website where I could consolidate my sale page, face book , blog and instagram accounts but its not working for me - I've got quite frustrated from the very beginning and it just got more complicated from then on - Its taking up all of my techie powers to stay focused - I'm sure its very simple really I just need to be a little less impatient... I'm go to leave it be for a day or two and do some research in to other peoples websites to see what appeals....
My other frustration is packaging!!! I can't find the right product - this stems partly from me not quite knowing what the 'right' product is and also a lack of interesting cost effective options available! my products are high quality bespoke limited edition and I want the packaging to reflect this but classy looking packing is scarce!
Alongside my scarves I will selling some original art work and some prints - it will all be limited editions or one off pieces - I'm slowly gathering everything together - I'm pulling imagery out of my sketch books and embellishing some of my print samples and just popping them in simple frames - my biggest problem is I like them so much I'm very tempted to just put them on the walls here!!!
So now I'm just waiting for my scarf printing to come back printed on lovely lawn fabric and hopefully by then I will have some semblance of a web site up and displaying my wares and maybe I'll become the next McQueen - ha ha drama queen more like..watch this space!
