New Ways to Promote Sales

Once again the creative wheels are turning in my head. This weekend, I had a girl's night at my house. Not only was it filled with good food, drinks, laughter and chatter, we also included ideas. In trying to find ways to increase jewelry sales, we came up with the idea of pairing the jewelry with clothing and or handbags to see if it will boost sales. I've posted a couple of items on EBay to test the idea. The clothes was donated by a close friend. Hopefully this idea will lure potential buyers.

Newest Creation

Here it is...tadaaaa! My newest creation as I attempt to step outside of the box. I incorporated buttons in this champagne pearl necklace. I am selling it with this 100% paper straw handbag because it has a button on it...clever huh?:-D.

Facebook

For months, I have been traveling through the world of Facebook. I have had the opportunity to reconnect with friends that I haven't talked to in years. There is one connection that I am glad was made...I've reconnected with the friend that ignited the flame in my jewelry designing, Rina. She and her husband owned a shop locally. We attended the same church and they graciously allowed me to work for them. She taught me the basics. Since we've reconnected, she has been giving me tips on designing and growing my shop, where to purchase beads and how to shop for them. Helpful hint: yard sales!:-D She also encouraged me to expand my horizons...step outside of the box. She suggested that I incorporate other items in my jewelry designs. I will now take her advice and began creating using not only beads but incorporate other usable items in my jewelry. So, in the upcoming weeks, I will began a new era.

In The SpotLight...KiwiArts

In the spotlight this week is KiwiArts. Beth Peters, full time Administrative Assistant, mother of five, actress, paranormal investigator, dancer, married to her best friend George "Georgie", is a graveyard shift artist with a passion for paint. Beth studied art/painting at Spurill Art Center for the Arts in Atlanta Georgia under the direction of Chery Baird. It gave her a start to fulfill her desires of freedom.

Kiwi-Arts was founded after a long journey of visions. Beth began painting a few years after the passing of her father, an artist himself. Though she never had the chance to learn from him, his passion and creative vision was flowing through her. Her father had a gift of seeing things differently than most people. Beth never understood those visions until she began having them herself.

One morning, Beth woke with a strong desire to experience paint with the sense of touch...to feel the paint in her bare hands, to touch the bristles of the brushes. She developed a connection to the paint as visions were revealed mixing the colors and putting them on a canvas. She came to a realization that her father was communicating with her through her paintings. Though her father never had the chance to be a parent to her here on earth, she is satisfied in knowing he still has a hand on her from beyond by bestowing upon her a gift and passion for painting.

If I had to describe Beth Peters work in one word, that word would be SERENE. Before reading her profile, I viewed her artwork. Looking beyond the obvious picture lies beneath a sense of calm. Her paintings captures the uncensored innocence within oneself. The colors and quality of her work add to the peacefulness in her paintings. It is as though you get two paintings. One is visibily her talented work and the second is the one in which you visualize as your own.

It's not often you can find a piece of work that you can interpret to fit your style. For example, her painting "Walk to the Beach". At first glance, it is a breathtaking painting of a walk down the pier to the beach. My visualization of the painting immediately drifts to a pier in Jekyll Island, GA and the wonderful memories my family shared vacationing there. Inside, I felt that innocent childhood warmth of wanting to reconnect with the past for old time sake.
Walk to the Beach

Beth describes her paintings best..."All of my paintings are a spiritual journey and my hope is that my audience is able to feel this journey as they view my pieces."

Below are a few of her visions...look beyond and tell me what is your vision.
