No Special Design For Sept & Oct Listing

Yuupppssss...that's true!!!

We didn't make special glass beads design for Sept and Oct theme. We will listing something with black, earthly colors and pastel plus pink which are already stock on our warehouse. Most of the glass beads are old stock, so it means very limited. Some beads are repeat order from our lovely customer in Bali and overseas, so we continuesly produce these kind of beads. Just stay-tune for new listing on 6 - 8 of July 2012 with theme - Halloween - Peaceful Day - Autumn - Pink Ribbon.

Kenjeran Shelling Listing

Yuupppssss.....

All the sea shell beads in here handmade by shell-craftmen at Kenjeran Beach in Surabaya, East Java. The shells came from fish market near the beach. Mostly are already waste, cause they need the meat and leave the shell on the garbage. They washed it, cut it using very sharp knife or grindstone, polish them with paper pads, cut the wood one by one, match with the shell, and then veneer it for the last touch. At the bottom of the shells, we reuse wood as a base and gave double hole on the right and left side. The talented shell-craftmen can carve neatly on top of shells. From very simple cut to awesome carve ready for listing tonight. Are you ready enough for them? These gorgeous sea shell beads will be available at Etsy too. And check on our FB shop here.

Follow The Path E-Book Review And Giveaway

I will review it in Bahasa, cause I believe there're already many review in english for the same e-book. And for Lori, thanks a lot to provide a very useful outline for blogger like me, who sometimes lost in good writting idea.

Lets begin...

Buat Sistas yang menjadikan jewelry sebagai kegiatan yang menghasilkan pendapatan, baik itu utama maupun sampingan, nggak ada salahnya kalau mulai terpikirkan untuk membuat blog dari sekarang. Dengan blog, kalian bisa memuat setiap detail dari perhiasan yang dibuat. Mulai dari bahan yang dipakai apa aja, trus photo awal sampai jadinya sebuah perhiasan yang kalian buat. Di blog, kalian bahkan bisa mendapatkan inspirasi desain untuk perhiasanmu. Kenapa kok seperti itu? Soalnya dengan kita punya blog, berarti paling tidak kita harus menyisihkan waktu untuk menulis aka mengisi blog kita. Untuk menulispun terkadang perlu ide, terutama bagi orang orang yang seperti saya yang basic-nya bukan seorang penulis. 

Ide...heemmm...didalam bukunya Lori, ide bisa datang dari berbagai penjuru. Misalnya...ambil sebuah buku yang sudah selesai kalian baca, secara acak cari kata kata yang menjadi favoritemu. Dari situ mulai kembangkan menjadi tulisan. Kalau kalian penggemar lagu, jadikan liriknya sebagai ide untuk menulis, mulai dari kenapa kok kalian heboh banget dengan lagu itu atau mungkin ada makna tersendiri dilagu itu buat kalian. Dari pengalaman pribadi nich, karena sebulan sebelum HUT RI terlampau sering mendengarkan lagu lagu perjuangan, baik itu dari iklan di TV atau radio, akhirnya terinspirasi untuk membuat satu album dengan tema untuk memperingati HUT RI tahun kemarin. Berhubung belum punya blog tahun kemarin, jadi chit chat-nya ditulis dialbum tersebut. Masih ingat gelang ini? Idenya juga dari hasil terlampau sering dengar lagu lagu perjuangan.

Melalui blog, kalian juga bisa mengasah ketrampilan cara memotret kalian. Kalian pastinya ingin photo yang tampil di-blog ok punya, jadi dengan blogging bisa memotivasi diri kalian untuk lebih imaginatif untuk setiap sudut photo yang akan kalian ambil. Didalam buku Lori ini, kalian akan menemukan segudang photo photo berkualitas *paling tidak menurut aku pribadi* Misalnya photo dibawah ini, milik Lori yang juga ada didalam e-booknya. Didalam blognya dia bercerita kalau baru saja selesai menata rak bukunya.

...by Lori Anderson...

So let's start blogging then...

Memang sich, dengan blog kita cenderung untuk lebih terbuka. Tapi bukankah itu baik? Customer kita juga terkadang perlu tahu seperti apa kita sebenarnya, bagaimana perhiasan yang mereka beli bisa tercipta, bagaimana kita berpendapat tentang beberapa hal seperti yang ditulis Lori dalam e-book : tentang kemacetan yang sering terjadi, tentang beberapa barang yang menjadi favorite, tentang putra dan putri kalian. Everything is good idea for start write in blog.

Buat yang ingin lebih tahu, apa aja sich tips tips dari Lori dan ingin memiliki e-book ini, silahkan berkunjung ke-blog-nya Lori dibawah ini :

Pada sisi sebelah kanan, kalian akan menemukan...

BLOGGING INSPIRATIONS EBOOK -- $15

Klik aja "Add to chart" dan ikuti petunjuknya. Dijamin nggak rugi kok. Kalian akan merasakan bagaimana asyiknya memulai menulis di-blog.
