New Online Selling Venues

I have been very negligent in posting - SORRY!


Have been busily researching other opportunities for getting my jewelry out to the world!  I've checked so many online sites, it is mind-boggling, comparing visual appeal, seller/buyer navigation, seller fees, exposure to potential buyers.  I've checked SupaDupa, Storenvy, TheCraftStar, Luulla, CraftCafe, and more.  Where do you sell?   I would appreciate any feedback on the Pros and Cons of your online selling site - it would be great to know what you considered as selling points!


AND I have narrowed it down to two fairly new selling venues: 

I have opened a shop on Luulla.

 and will soon open for business on CraftCafe.co. 

Stay tuned for a big announcement for the CraftCafe Grand Opening, tentatively set for June 22!

• CraftCafe - http://craftcafe.co/shop/LindaSearcyJewelryDesigns
• CraftCafe - http://craftcafe.co/shop/LindaSearcyDesignsToo

I still have my shop on ArtFire but if these new venues are successful, I will be closing my ArtFire and Etsy shops.

In the meantime, you can always follow me at the following:

Classes and Workshops 2012!

It's been a while since my last update - I have been filling up my time with workshops and classes with several master jewelry artists, along with getting together with several talented JAR friends for a week of sharing fresh techniques and camaraderie.  


How do to keep your art fresh and interesting for you and your customers?


Here are a few shots from recent workshops with James Carter Studio, Carrboro, NC.  Check out his jewelry gallery.
