Had a very successful Blue Genie Art Bazaar 2021 and sold pretty well, thanks everyone for your support! Will be adding more stock to the BGAB Online shop as I make it.
Filed my 2021 Taxable Sales and am getting back into the studio to work. It’s cold this morning, thankful for my little space heater. Will wait until later in the day to cut more vinyl because my cutting table is outside. Getting back to my customs queue, and will be building stock up again, and listing stuff in my Etsy shop.
Listed some key fobs on Etsy, some colors I sold out of at the Blue Genie Art Bazaar and I will make more of. I have gold, charcoal silver, ruby red, princess pink, sapphire blue, emerald green, copper bronze, and silver white listed.
Posted some more items to Etsy, between sewing some stuff and clearing some space in my studio so I can work. Listed a 3D money/coin lenticular vinyl horizontal format billfold wallet, a 3D space/astronaut lenticular vinyl squarish billfold wallet, a 3D insect/bug lenticular vinyl card case wallet, a 3D Jesus/religious lenticular vinyl card case wallet, and a 3D space/astronaut lenticular vinyl card case wallet.
I’m adding listings to Etsy after regrouping post-Blue Genie Art Bazaar. Today I listed a purple and lime green sparkle vinyl large flap shoulder bag, a turquoise and orange sparkle vinyl shoulder tote bag with piping, a navy blue and gold glitter wave star smaller flap bag with adjustable shoulder strap, two sizes of bronze and silver dot donut wrist strap clutch bags 1|2 , an icy light blue metallic wristlet, a tan and chestnut brown dot donut wrist clutch, a colorful tan wave dot wrist strap clutch bag, and a long red and green star zippie pouch so far.
Excited to share latest addition to my #etsy shop: Adjustable strap purple sparkle vinyl star applique flap bag https://etsy.me/2VJ4FII
I’ll be adding more items over the weekend, be sure to check my Etsy store for updates!
I’ve been listing items on etsy today, with more to come!
The Blue Genie Art Bazaar was good for me, thank you all so much for your support! I sold most of what I had there. I wish I’d been able to make more, but I’ve been out of production due to lightning striking my studio. I’m totally serious, lightning struck my studio. The wiring isn’t quite fixed yet so no overhead light or outlets working. I have to say I feel really very lucky there wasn’t a fire, no one was hurt (my kids were terrified!) and the damage is just around the studio. Ironically I had been working on some pieces with lightning bolt appliques before the storm. Hmm…
I had some surge protectors, not very good ones (a friend gave me one of these Tripp Lite Isobar Surge Protectors
I had just enough hang tags for the stock I had, and display stuff already printed out. And fortunately all my sewing machines and my favorite shop lamp are ok, I can run them with extension cords until the wiring and the lights are fixed up. January is always a good time to refocus and set some goals, now that I’ve recovered from the holiday busy season, and I have some purging and organizing and cleaning to do before I can hunker down in the studio.
Happy New Year!
