Welcome to Chisa's Crafty Place!

I'll be using this thread as a sort-of craft diary, because I find my crafty stuff a bit too waffly for my proper blog sweatdrop Feel free to post here as you please, and critiques and suggestions are always loved.

Current Projects
  • various small clay charms that need varnishing and photographing
  • plans for an online store, starting with mostly felt badges/keyrings/phonecharms
  • painting Munny
  • clay figure started months ago...(UFO?)


Stuff I want to do eventually...
  • learn to sew with a sewing machine sweatdrop
  • re-learn knitting
  • experiment with Chinese ink painting


Online store to-do
  • Finish off prototype range (clay charms, clay mini sculpts, felt badges, shrinkable plastic jewellery, 1inch badges)
  • Design packaging (boxes for the breakable stuff, bag tags for the felt stuff and badges, stickers to put on envelopes)
  • Take product photos
  • Do a promo shoot of friends wearing/using items
  • Finish off the shop website
  • Build up some stock
  • Launch!

I think I'm starting to get the hang of photographing with my makeshift lightbox and using props now... and I found my parents old tripod to use!

Thanks guys!

@kon: I sold some badges at my local anime convention, they went pretty well ^_^ I had to charge far less then I liked though, because the crowd wasn't the type to spend a lot on handcrafted items.

@eggy: Thanks! Go the homemade lightbox, mine cost about $20 between the two clip lamps, clear box and sheet of white card. They really are so useful for taking decent shots without spending heaps on lighting. I'm finding I can get more interesting effects with depth of field and white balance with my DSLR, but my little compact camera did pretty well in macro mode too.

@snowkirby: Haha cool! I can't belive people are thinking it's real!

I'm working on some clay and felt bits for the prototypes for my first range in the store I'm working on. Photos should come as I finish them in the next week or so!
