I follow several fellow Estians via Facebook and their blogs and one of my favorites is Stephanie over at Sumthing Purdy. I’ve actually featured Sumthing Purdy here on my blog in an earlier “Simple Promotions” post. She makes really fun and unique jewelry! She has issued herself a challenge to create a new pair of earrings everyday then to post them up on her blog. She is giving some away and selling the rest and is planning to donate some of the proceeds to charity.
I like this idea! So I’m going to give myself a similar challenge. I’m going to make one new item everyday, then post them up on here with a short description of materials and techniques used. I haven’t quite gotten all the specifics worked out but I think it will go something like this. I’ll make a new thing for my blog each day, the items made will be posted up for sale in my Etsy shop. Every 3 months I will do a give away to one of my readers/fans. I’m not sure what I’ll be giving away, or what format I’ll use to determine who wins, yet. As for the pieces put up for sale. I’ll be offering various sales and specials that you’ll only see if you read my blog. I’m also thinking I will donate a portion of the proceeds from the earrings that are sold to a charity. I’ll do a different charity for each 3 month block.
I’m kind of excited about the prospect. This should be a good motivator for me to do something creative everyday even when I don’t really feel like it. It’s also good motivation for me to write everyday.
So, for now until I get all my details fully worked out, you can check out a couple of mymore recent pieces, both available for sale in my Etsy shop.
And thank you again to Sumthing Purdy for the inspiration!
