It has been three years since I've posted last on here. THREE YEARS!!! WOW.. This life is so fragile, it flies by in an instant.<br />
<br />
To say that the last three years has been the hardest of my life is an understatement. My transition into the 'real world' was not an easy one as I experienced the most challenging aspect of my life while losing my mother to ovarian cancer. The grief of this was overbearing, but throughout it all I continued to bead through the train rides, hospital stays, and late nights...being creative was my solace. <br />
<br />
For this, and for many other reasons....after some time of grieving...I decided to continue forward to achieve a graduate degree in psychology and expressive arts with the hopes that I will be able to instil and nurture others use of creativity and art for their own healing, quieting, expression, and artistic therapy.<br />
<br />
And so now, in my 2nd year of graduate school, I return with full force into my beadwork, dancing, writing, art-making, friend-hugging, and overall wellness. I hope that I will be able to fill my life with creativity, and share it with the world!<br />
<br />
In this I remember my mama, Beatriz Rubio-Verduzco. May she always be with me as I continue through this journey..<br />

It's been a while. I realized recently that I hadn't posted anything on my blog since the beginning of the year. This has been quite a year. Probably one of the most difficult I've had and it hasn't been till recently that the sun has begun to start shining again and I'm incredibly hopeful for the next year. It pains me that I haven't been able to focus on my business and my passion for handmade items, but I've begun to re-organize and create a stronger support system for this creative endeavor and I am ready to put all of my efforts to find success. For those of you who have continued to support and have stuck around...I thank you. Here is to a new year.MorninGloria'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08577949669527356096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945026144607108677.post-46863302193371135422011-02-09T22:19:00.000-08:002011-02-09T22:19:14.271-08:00Giveaway Contest Winners!!!I couldn't believe what an amazing response I got for my first giveaway contest...I got over 200 entries!! To those of you who entered, thank you sooooo so much and please check back on my blog or facebook as I think I'll be doing more of these giveaways in the future! As a handmade artist, I put A LOT of time and thought into each item I create so it was so beneficial to hear what your favorite items were because I don't always get to hear WHY people like certain items...it really makes a difference and I'll keep all of your comments in mind when I'm creating new items.<div><div><br />
</div><div>Since I got such an overwhelming response, I was feeling pretty generous and I decided to do TWO winners instead of one! Both winners have already been notified so if you haven't heard from me, then I'm sorry you didn't win this time, but don't worry because I will be sure to have another giveaway soon. </div><div><br />
</div><div>To thank you for participating (or for simply following my blog) I will be giving a 20% discount off the total purchase in my shop....just use the coupon code: THANKYOU20 during checkout. This discount is only good for the month of February and will be expired at the end of the month so use it soon!</div><div><br />
</div><div>The first winner of my blog giveaway was Ginger and she won the favorite item that she posted, the Light Amethyst and Pearls Floral Bracelet:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.148189995.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.148189995.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>The second winner was Erin and she won the Mystere - Charcoal and Indigo French Beaded Flower Hair Clip:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.179930040.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.179930040.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div><br />

</div><div>Thank you so much once again for making this giveaway such a success!</div></div><div><br />

I thought I'd write her a quick response, but as I began writing I realized that I could write a book! I didn't, but I wanted to share what I wrote because I remember what it was like when I was new to Etsy and so overwhelmed and confused. Hope this helps!<br />
<br />
Here's what I wrote:<br />
<br />
Hi Valerie! So good to hear from you! Oh man, getting into my own business has been a long journey, but very rewarding (i'm actually creating/working right now). I'm so glad you're interested in selling your crafts.<br />
<br />
I've been making jewelry and craft items all my life, but 4 yrs ago I began making the beaded flowers when I got a pen with a beaded flower on it so I took it apart and learned how to create it. I don't know if you remember, I'd wear them to dance class often. Well, since then, I've just been making them more and getting better and better and never really thought about selling them, but last summer a bunch of dancers from a workshop wanted to buy them so I began selling them. I'd always loved Etsy and had wanted to one day create my own shop and I figured this was my push to do so.<br />
<br />
It's been a LONG and TIME CONSUMING learning process, but essentially little by little I learned how to brand and market, how to use my camera and what angles and lighting look best, what my target demographic is, and pricing. I can't stress enough the time commitment because as long as one item takes to create, it tooks 4x the amount of time to take pictures, describe/price/post them, and to promote. Not to mention the time to research products, supplies, and the competition. And trust me, I'M STILL LEARNING.<br />
<br />
There's a lot of amazing tools that have guided me (I didn't just come up with it on my own) including the forums on Etsy, other sites related to Etsy, and this great book: "The Handmade Marketplace: How to Sell Your Crafts Locally, Globally, and On-Line".<br />
<br />
I have been so rewarded by this adventure, but some things I didn't know before that I know now are<br />
<br />
1. Don't expect to make money right away. It can take 2-3 years before making a real profit<br />
2. BUDGET, BUDGET, BUDGET (I tend to get carried away when buying new supplies)<br />
3. Research BEFORE opening your Etsy shop. I made a lot of mistakes with pricing, product description, and pictures that took me so much time to redo that I wished I had taken the time to research what were the best way to do things.<br />
4. Get a seller's permit. Technically, all people on Etsy should have one, but not all do. I'd say do it to be sure, and also that way if you're ever interested in selling at events or craft fairs, you have it. <br />
<br />
<br />
I hope this helps and doesn't scare you away because it truly has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me and I'm going to keep doing it for life.<br />
<br />

I feel like an outsider that desperately wants to get into the cool kids club where I can say 'My shop has been featured on the front page of Etsy!'. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://etsy.com/"><img src="http://team.etsy.com/images/downloads/buttons/myitemwas3.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I keep hearing that you need to have good pictures and a unique product. Well, I feel as if I have that, but I've noticed that a lot of the shops on there have a lot of sales as well (at least compared to me) so do I need to have high sales in order to be considered worthy?<br />
<br />
I know there is some frustration going on about so-called front page favoritism, but I just want to get on there once. ONCE! Is that so much to ask?!<br />
<br />
I know I'm not alone in this...I just needed to vent it all out. Thanks for listening/reading whoever you are.MorninGloria'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08577949669527356096noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945026144607108677.post-89359467598427313752009-12-28T16:29:00.000-08:002010-01-12T20:31:08.353-08:00Christmas is over!And I'm already wanting to re-vamp my shop, make new items, promote like crazy, and work 10 times harder! I'm destined to make this business work, otherwise I would have wasted a lot of time and a lot of money! This is my MorninGloria's list of New Year's resolutions:<br />
<br />
1. Get business license/seller's permit/Employee Identification Number....<br />
I've been putting these off just because of all the paperwork, but I need to just get it over with so that I can become a legitimate business. Also, I need these for my next resolution.<br />
<br />
2. Business checking account.<br />
In order to organize my finances, I need to get a separate account, with separate checks and debit card because come tax season...it's gonna be a big hassle to separate business and personal expenses...<br />
<br />
3. Set up my office/creating space.<br />
I'm almost done with this...getting organized in my bedroom i'm renting out so that I can work more productively.<br />
<br />
4. Applying for craft fairs.<br />
It took me a while to find a decent site that lists craft shows around my area so I'm going to try to sign up for them ahead of time.<br />
<br />
5. Making items for myself.<br />
I've been so focused on making items to sell, I hardly have anything for myself! One of my favorite things is when I'm wearing one of my items and I get complimented on it.<br />
<br />
This is a start and I'm sure I'll keep contributing to this list as time goes on.....<br />
<br />
Happy New Year everyone!<br />

I got a crazy amount of responses and was even featured on the weekly email Etsy sends out! I ended up going through the whole thread and compiling a list of all the links people sent me. I don't know yet what they all are, but I figured it'd be nice to have them in one place to share. ENJOY!!!<br />

I was asking other sellers and friends for advice on shop names, but in the end, I decided to just combine my jewelry with my flower hair accessories.<br />
<br />
Here's a picture of my first jewelry item...let me know what you think!<br />

It's a production showcasing 24 dances from all over Sonoma County and I'm so very honored to have been chosen for it! </div><div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8loR3YNjxLuJdRGeEs6_zcLJ39rBvwKrdBExWxlH4TMkOUBal6qzNmF6gc2FTBlVtU5BiViODqO3pkzNBzMh31z7GLzWDPtVi6Tt6bwVlhY7jKLks2oVZaS3F4CcqPY8BfFhEdjploAE/s1600-h/aDSC_5419.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" lk="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8loR3YNjxLuJdRGeEs6_zcLJ39rBvwKrdBExWxlH4TMkOUBal6qzNmF6gc2FTBlVtU5BiViODqO3pkzNBzMh31z7GLzWDPtVi6Tt6bwVlhY7jKLks2oVZaS3F4CcqPY8BfFhEdjploAE/s320/aDSC_5419.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Clint and I in a lift from "440")</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got the inspiration for my dance when I was at a local dive bar around the corner from my house called the 440 Club. As I was explaining to a friend an inner conflict that had been plaguing me, Jimi Hendrix's Red House came on the juke box. The song immediately fit the mood and weight of what I had been talking about and I just got so excited! I thought to myself that I HAD TO create a dance to that song! And so with my inspiration from that bar, I named my dance "440".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The movement turned out to be a jazzy, latin, contact/contemporary blend. I'm not normally the type to be in the spotlight, so this dance was a big change for me. I've also never danced that HARD! I was huffing and puffing after every run through because I'm on stage the entire time moving with my whole body! I can't say enough how happy I was with the result!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I put my heart and soul into this dance (and plenty of bruises) and so I'm exceptionally greatful that I get to keep it alive. I can safely say that if I end up in the professional world of dance, this piece will definitely stay in my repertory.</div><div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">My two other dancers, Adam and Clint, gave so much of their very very little free time helping me create this dance. We didn't begin until mid semester!! But we pushed through long, late rehearsals and through some tough lifts and movement we'd all never done and so I am eternally grateful for their hard work.</div><div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Link to NorthWave Dance Festival info:</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://dancesonoma.com/northwave.php">http://dancesonoma.com/northwave.php</a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Link to view the video of "440":</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=102088825486&subj=1242089">http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=102088825486&subj=1242089</a></div>MorninGloria'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08577949669527356096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945026144607108677.post-7343290824967721192009-08-31T23:49:00.000-07:002009-09-02T02:34:30.255-07:00The Maria Teresa - Black, Purple, and Lavender French Beaded Flower Brooch Pin<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24Z0t1bSny7NOp1dMcU5mXfc9usALCIgAlLwl2yk4Tn7J47iLGR3bj4elJnRL10WwVGnvDwN2_1-uAjW-yz9ZxwluAaFABh9jp8NJ_bHULr-RbUSvXshgnaBZyeT16ntvUm2B-ClZflI/s1600-h/CIMG9691.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" lk="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24Z0t1bSny7NOp1dMcU5mXfc9usALCIgAlLwl2yk4Tn7J47iLGR3bj4elJnRL10WwVGnvDwN2_1-uAjW-yz9ZxwluAaFABh9jp8NJ_bHULr-RbUSvXshgnaBZyeT16ntvUm2B-ClZflI/s320/CIMG9691.JPG" /></a></div>This flower was designed for my wonderful friend Maria Teresa who will be leaving soon to teach dance in India!!! She told me she wanted black, purple, and lavender and on a brooch pin and this is what I created for her. I love it! I'm gonna make one for myself soon because I love the combinations of black with purple...especially for Halloween! <br />
<br />
I'll make sure to remind her to send me pics of her wearing it in India. I forgot my bead spinner at home (I made this in between classes) so I had to improvise with a pill tin and a bottle cap to hold my beads as I put them on the wire! Lol! But I made it work!<br />
<br />
What I love about putting flowers on brooch pins is that you can easily slip a flat clip or bobby pin through it and put it in your hair! I need to make that more clear...maybe I'll start sending a clip with the brooch when people order it.<br />
<br />
I was making this is the lobby of the theater building (where all us theater/dance people hang out) and I got a ton of compliments on it! Hope to make more sales soon!<br />

<strong>ATTENTION!!</strong><br />
Prayers go out to the Houar family! They lost their home in the Mammoth Lakes wildfires. All proceeds of this flower go towards them...<br />

The Treasury is a place where users can create a gallery of 12 items of whatever they want. They can have a theme, a similar color, a similar genre, or just random! It's a way to help other members get their product shown and just to show off your own style.<br /><br />What's great about these lists is that Etsy will sometimes use them for their front page of their website. The front page is where you get MAXIMUM exposure for your product, so being on a treasury list is always extremely beneficial to your shop.<br /><br />Now, creating a Treasury is the tricky part. You cannot create a list until the number of lists lower a certain number (they expire after a couple of days). This feature is really popular and a lot of fun, so most of the time, people are patiently waiting by the computer, obsessively looking at the number of lists or plotting when it will be down, then you look for the little button to create your own!<br /><br />I was patient and fortunate enough to be able to create my own list finally! I named it "Orange You Poppy Lure" which was inspired by the Poppy Beaded Flower that I recently created of the same name. That flower was inspired by my wonderful photographer, Brandon, who loves the color orange and deserved a really special flower (thank you again!). I also figured that the orange/black combination would be good for Halloween.<br /><br />I'm crossing my fingers that an Admin from Etsy sees it and uses it for the front page because I'm really proud of this list. All the products on it I really love!!! It's so exciting to see fellow artists create such wonderful, handmade, quality work! I can't wait to make another treasury soon!<br /></div><div>Here' the link to the Treasury list:</div><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=66444">http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=66444</a></div><div><br />MorninGlorias</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>MorninGloria'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08577949669527356096noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945026144607108677.post-83860540713274540662009-08-25T11:02:00.000-07:002009-08-25T11:11:11.143-07:00College RushI've been in a flurry to get more beaded flowers done since I start classes Wednesday and I know once school starts, my free time will go from unlimited to zilch. So I've been beading all day and night making my babies. It has taken over my life at the moment...there is so much work starting a new business!! <br /><br />The other day I had taken my bead supplies to a friend's party so that I could visit AND create more flowers. When I got home, I couldn't find my flowers anywhere (all of them!!!). I wanted to cry! I had spent countless hours and blistered my hands on these blooms and I couldn't find them anywhere! <br /><br />They ended up being in the side pocket of my craft bag I had taken with me. I felt like a dummy. Lol.<br /><br />We're doing a photoshoot today!!! Off to create a few more!!MorninGloria'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08577949669527356096noreply@blogger.com0
