New Products - Scrabble Tiles

I've been busy thinking about what new things I can make into coasters. Today's exploration, SCRABBLE!

And on the principle of 'measure twice, cut once' I like to lay out new designs before pushing forward and actually making them with resin. So here I have a sneak peak of what's to come, a set of 4 scrabble tile coasters, with words based on the eternal sentiment of LOVE.

I laid them out on top of my flower coasters, so the flowers seen behind are not going to be included, though maybe a few pretty hydrangeas would work nicely with my love themed words. Anyone have any thoughts before I start pouring the resin?

Sunday Greetings!

I know I've been somewhat M.I.A. recently, and I apologize. My only excuse is that between Basel nibbling on EVERYTHING and trying to come up with some great new products, I have let my internet presence slip.

But, there's some exciting new news, my work has been accepted to be part of a new marketplace, Cargoh.com! It is a new website devoted to hip, young, indie sellers, and in order to keep their vision intact, they have decided to become a juried site. I figured it was worth the effort so I applied and they liked my work enough to accept me as a seller! So come on down and check out my new shop, at http://www.cargoh.com/store/zipper8design and see what's there!

While I will probably have the exact same inventory as I do at Etsy, it is always good to spread out a bit, not have all your eggs in one basket and that sort of thing. Hopefully Cargoh will catch on and it will be a new and exciting marketplace to be a part of!

As always, thanks for reading and cheers to a good week ahead!
