Worktable Wednesday: The Shop Update Countdown Has Begun

Oh the stress! The countdown to my product launch/shop update has started and I'm scrambling to finish everything I can. I will have less products than I initially hoped because of personal drama taking me away from the studio. My dog has been sick and I don't want to get into that right now so I'm trying my best to continue to move forward.

 The hoop art I was working on is finished and I seriously can't stand the cuteness! I hope you all will enjoy these pieces as much as I do.

 Bright and colorful is the name of the game in the studio the last few weeks.

 I completely changed the dress design from the last post, and I think these work so much better. Still need their final trim pieces and it'll be time to dress some bunnies.

Working on Launching Collections

I've been taking some online creative business classes to learn more about marketing to social media.

Back in the day, 10 years ago, when I ran 2 businesses, one being an online stationery store, things were done differently than today. Now that I'm physically able to run a business again, I need to learn how it's done currently.

One lesson that I surprisingly already knew and used to do, but for some reason haven't really done recently is to Launch Collections. In my stationary days I did that all the time! Why I didn't transfer that to what I do now? I just don't know!

Well what this means is basically instead of making one thing and putting it in my shop, I'll be making a collection of things and offering those all together about every 3 to 4 months.

This gives my fans something to look forward to and eases the stress on me of having something, anything done. I'll keep me focused on task. Plus I hope this will enable me to take on more custom and commissioned work in the future.

So I'm announcing my first launch date. March 2, 2016. I'll be making bunnies for Easter/Spring.

I'll show wips of what I'm working on but not completed things until right before the launch.

Start With One Bunny And You Know What Happens!

A sweet little White Chocolate Bunny has moved into the studio.

She has an adorable cottontail.

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way!

And so are Carmel, Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Bunnies!

I think they need ribbons around their necks...what do you think?
