Getting Started


Today...
So I am absorbing all that I can from other artist on etsy...I have been working or not working on getting my Jewelry pieces on etsy since 2007...yeah I procrastinate much...So I almost at the finish line, I will have pictures up sometime today or tomorrow...I have been on etsy for days seeing how people set up their information, how they box their items. It’s a lot of detail that I have never dealt with. Sure in my small business non jewelry life Cultura Y Mas is not as detailed. I send out what is ordered but not packaged all cute. I should explain Cultura Y Mas is a cultural Mexicano Clothing line that I run with my partner Fano (link to website on bottome of Page) Maybe I should add a little more flair...I was reading on how to quit your day job on etsy...boy will my partner be ticked...I have been blessed to work for myself for almost 15 years...(and yes I stated at 10 years old) Cultura y Mas has inspired me to continue challenging myself and always learning. I am more the business side in Cultura Y Mas and my life partner (baby daddy) is the artistic side. He is all the art behind every design and our web master. I guess the two of us combined are pretty okay. We work and fight well together I guess that keeps us balanced. Fanos’ art is also the art that I use in my resin pieces. He is very talented I don’t tell him enough but so he won’t get a big head. :0) So this jewelry thing is more personal because it is me out there for people to not like, that’s difficult. Well I can only hope that my pieces are well received and that I can call my self an artist.
Happy Crafting Everybody!
