Sher2x4-Landing focused on social networks for the summer

Whether I am working in traditional fine art arenas or the more local Saturday in the Park arts & crafts arenas, I look to the past cottage industry for influences and to the arts & crafts industry to bridge the technique and material gap.

Many months ago I saw some info on a trend of making jewelry stemware markers. I thought this was a very trendy idea that non-commercial artists were promoting. I had no idea what these items would look like but I sort of filed the intro idea in my cluttered brain cells for another day.

Yesterday, I was out and I saw a commercial store box with these markers. I was not excited at all. They looked cheap. So now I am looking to do at least one set of my own and see what happens.

I realize I am going to need wire, beads, charms and a pair of pliers.

Watch for my new line this coming summer.

Past midnight and still no storms

So many storms that I actually find myself now working around the weather so here is a small alert: New items have been listed in the eCrater Store. Do stop by and check my inventory.

I've always gathered up tins because I just like to keep things contained. I find pretty tins along with baskets and boxes make a new and exciting electic decor.

In my shop you will find many vintage tins. I have just been collecting them since the 60s and even though I don't need them all I just can't seem to pass them up. I even swap them out - Put my supplies in the new one and place the older one online.

You can contact me if you find more than one item and I will combine on shipping across 3 stores.

Seems like forever...

It has been awhile since I actively worked this blogspot but I have come to the conclusion that it is better to work with the things you have been doing and keep growing from there.

They tell musicians that it is the old songs in the songlist to play over and over because the song becomes one with the performer.

So here I am again writing to the wall.

Welcome back everyone. I know you will find me.

I still operate a store at eCrater and try to stock up some vintage and retro arts & crafts supplies.

You can find this plastic lacing in the store in various colors.
Still have more colors to add so, check back often.

It is called Intellectual Property

Once upon a time utilizing the Internet was limited to the few. As it has grown and grown, many individuals seem to not realize that there is a professional aspect to doing business on the Internet.

Small business owners need to be careful to engage properly in the Cyber Laws as well as Business Laws.

Citizen journalists need to be aware that professionally trained journalists went through courses on Media Law. Trained journalists know the boundaries on writing about events as well as the precedences on the law books. Journalists and photojournalists know the judicial rules for taking a picture with a person in the line of sight. Simple it is not. And when professionals publish those words or photos; the material is Intellectual Property of the ones who created them or hired them. And all of these things I type are covered under the Digital Millennium Act as well as copyright, trademark, and Intellectual Property.

Not always does one have the ability to attend professional schools to be trained.
The Internet allows access to professionals who are busy posting various words, videos, tutorials, podcasts, and images. Embrace the moment and engage in the thinking and educational mentoring. But don't copy or reproduce professional work.
Remember: Professionals track it all!

Another addition to the web portal

Here is another new site for my web development team to handle: Creekside News Journal™. 

Another online  community news paper is now under our direction and we hope to make a difference.

This one will take some time to get indexed as well as the layout and timing of the local community news but it is very exciting to be a part of a responsible "Go Green" publication.

So Now What?

I've been busy bringing websites back up to date. Literally....

Then coding some products in various shops. It is important to give descriptions to products that are you are trying to drive traffic towards. I was reading a tip the other night that if you can pull off a description without using connecting and common words such as: and, or, where.... guess this would be an example:

A fabulous inspirational original one-of-a-kind pink satin jacket tailored for .............

I'm going to go back over all of my product descriptions. 

Hope to get more done so I can start inserting some videos and podcasts on some of my websites.

Portal Web Development

I've been away for awhile and now I am going to try and get my business of portal web development back up and running. I have chosen some new directions in artist management and product management. 

Entertainment Business is my latest direction, which I almost have ready to launch in February 2009.

So, it is time to get the social networking back in place. Many of us have been utilizing social networking sites for a very long time and I am getting back into the swing of things. 

This post is just to get things rolling again. 

Hey everyone, I'm back!
