Either I'm doing an amazing job at social media promoting my pieces...
Or #Etsy is doing me *little favour* right now.
Could it be a matter of #SEO -perhaps I'm outdated in that? 🤔
Don't know, it's always been the other way around!

I just got sent screenshots of a whole merch line sold on Redbubble with an edited image of *a pic I took of a tiara I made*.
Funny that I need to have an account in a page I would not support to report the issue 🫠
Definitely ready to wave bye to 2025.

Who else is already absolutely exhausted by ads pushing the usage of AI to photograph products for your #smallbiz, to create absolutely fake videos, or to whatever other endeavours??
I firmly believe AI is NOT the solution. It's always better to be "simpler" and keep it #honest.

Drafting my new #Patreon feels like prepping to apply for a whole new job. A completely alien self-employment job.
All I wonder is if I should be trying to build my following up more on SM & YT before launching, or if it's fine to work on both things at once...

New colourways for a product you know people likes already -or making a new one to broaden your range of prices so there's always a piece for every budget? 🤔🫠

I'm so happy I decided to include them, I never thought I'd sell a single pair. And here we are, one of each already gone!

There's no better feeling than having tools that make your work easier ✨ I use #GIMP to edit my pics: it's similar to #PhotoShop -but it's open!
& it's fine for what I need to edit (mostly colour and brightness, the eventual skin textures... Letting the displayed piece speak for itself).

I know my most popular #crowns & #tiaras are costly for many.
So despite the jewelry market oversaturation, I'm now trying to find a middle ground -offering little pieces with my signature style. Budget-friendly treats with a bit of my soul ✨

New line drawn:
No more collabs with influencers/events unless I explicitly so desire in the 1st place.
It's just not worth it.
Too many expect small makers to send their most spectacular pieces over & keep them -and in exchange share a single post on SM (which does close to nothing).

In a world craving for more #handmade, the stories behind items and how they're crafted, I'm wondering if I should widen up my range of creation to formats that don't actually sell a piece, and allow you to experience it regardless...

Feeling forced to watermark every pic of my work on top of the actual piece to avoid folk editing my logos out of my images 🤦🏻♀️
