slower than before but the best i can i get a bit of sympathy from my husband when prompted but i still get up at 6am to take him to work every morning now he has the cold and of course we all know man colds are far far worse than anything a woman might get this video just about sums it up for me posted by anna at 8 25 am 8 comments labels ill man cold men relationships sick women thursday december 11 2008 my top 10 tips for making a front page worthy treasury learning to make a great treasury is an art it is also an important education for any seller who wants to get their work featured on the front page of etsy if you take the time to learn what makes a treasury worthy of the etsy front page you will quickly learn how to make your listings the kind that will get chosen for that honor take a look at the etsy front page flickr group this is full of screencaps of treasuries that have been on the front page notice how each one looks amazing the photos are top quality and the treasury always has a theme be it a shape color or something else for those of you who don t know what a treasury is or how to catch one check out this article as a seller who was been both curator for and featured in etsy home page treasuries here are my top 10 tips for making a front page worthy treasury 1 use the etsy poster sketch you can build as many treasuries as you like there although only you can see them you can always save your sketches to use when you actually manage to grab a treasury bookmark it in your browser because the link to it is hard to find on etsy 2 choose a theme the theme can be colour tone shape emotion or anything else you like you can also pick one listing from your favorites to start with try to find other listings that match it in some way think of your entire treasury as a piece of art each listing should go well with the others 3 use the etsy tag fractal you can use the tag fractal to search for listings that fit your theme you can search based on their titles and tags here it is a great tool bookmark this one too 4 choose listings that look great as thumbnails take a look at my previous post for further explanation on this 5 vary the types of listings in your treasury unless your theme is a certain type or category of listing try to avoid having too many of the same kind of listing in your treasury for example not more than 2 pairs of earrings 2 toys 2 illustrations etc 6 vary the prices of the listings in your treasury when admin choose a treasury for the front page they make sure that the price range varies they don t want everything to sell out before that front page s time is up if everything is too inexpensive then the items will sell out too fast and cause technical difficulties for the front page to read more about what etsy admin said about this check out this forum thread 7 fill up all the alternatives when you make a treasury you get 16 slots to show off but only the 12 on the left can be seen the other 4 are called the alternatives if your treasury makes it to the front page then when something sells one of your alternatives will take its place admin will only ever choose a treasury that is full including the alternatives make sure your alternatives are just as good as the others 8 don t feature yourself you are allowed to feature yourself in one listing of your own treasury but if your treasury gets picked for the front page then your listing will get swapped out for an alternative from an admin s point of view you will only have 3 alternatives instead of 4 as they won t ever have the curator of a treasury featured on the fp too it lowers your chances significantly and it is considered by some to be an unwritten rule of making treasuries 9 choose an interesting title titles are hard to come up with so while you are filling your poster sketch try to think about your theme and what title would go well with it a good title will get a few more people clicking on it just to see what is in there i should say that etsy admin has stated that they don t pay any attention to a treasury title they are interested in how it looks and the price ranges it includes so it s not essential 10 promote your treasury when you have caught a treasury and filled it tell your friends about it if you belong to an etsy street team then post it in your team thread if you are on twitter then post the link there too if there are threads in the forums sharing the latest treasuries then post there too you get the idea the more views clicks and comments your treasury gets the hotter it becomes and the higher up the treasury list it will go the more people see that you make great treasuries the more chances you have of making it on the front page one day good luck and happy treasury making posted by anna at 7 39 am 9 comments labels 10 advice etsy front page hints how to make tips top treasury wednesday december 10 2008 etsy sellers tip 1 thumbnail photos when someone views your store they usually do so in gallery mode this is when the images are the same size as the ones featured on the front page to put your store in gallery mode just click the link for gallery under your shop announcement this is your store window the first thing your buyers see when they come to your shop you should try to make each thumbnail look the best it can which means taking into account the way your first image is cropped to fit it to get the best out of your thumbnails try to take the photo you will use for the first image as a horizontal rectangle aka landscape so that little of the composition of the photo is lost when viewed as a thumbnail these thumbnail photos are also how your listings are viewed in treasuries having a great thumbnail increases your chances of making it into a treasury and therefore your chance of making it onto the etsy home page always make sure that the first photo for your listing is the best one from your collection posted by anna at 8 34 pm 2 comments labels advice etsy hints seller shop store tips tuesday december 9 2008 experimenting with backgrounds i have been getting tired of my plain old white and grey backgrounds recently so i decided to try out something new i made a larger light box and started to play around with the macro setting on my camera i plan on using other backgrounds depending on the mouse i am photographing so maybe a map as background for my traveling mouse and some christmas presents for my christmas mice this is mr and mrs applecheeks the librarian mice now with new background posted by anna at 8 25 pm 7

lines of trees down the side of the road are all the same size and shape sometimes i feel like i live in a sims game i love living in holland but i do miss the rolling hills and countryside of my home town in devon england the flower fields in holland the rolling hills of devon fortunately there is one large park near where i live that feels more like home haarlemmermeerse bos is a park around a huge lake where the trees are allowed to grow more naturally and they have put in a few good hills to walk up and down it is very pretty and i love to take my mad black labrador shadow for a nice long walk there on a saturday morning she loves to swim in the lake and play with the other dogs we meet there as far as shadow is concerned there is nothing better than chasing tennis balls into the lake remember to stand well back for this the tennis ball sank eventually so we got out the purple frizzbe instead comedy shot shadow with big purple lips mwah once we wore her out a bit she was calm

culture cute etsy handmade little mice mouse punk rat rock rodent skater small thursday december 4 2008 exhibition in a weird place you may not know this but as well as making felt mice i also paint i have been painting professionaly for about 5 years but have never managed to sell many of my works i had several exhibitions in amsterdam in the jordaan the art center of the city and never made a sale there i gave up on exhibiting in amsterdam as each one cost me money in rent for the wall space and came with nothing but disappointment i bought a car recently and the salesman googled me after asking what i did for a living he found my art and loved it a few days later his manager rang me up and suggested i show my work in their car showroom what a strange place to show i thought but they want no commission or rent for the space and as an artist you have to take what the universe thows at you whatever it may be yesterday i set up 10 of my paintings and have to say i happy with how it looks they gave me a very prominant spot in their showroom right at the front and they have done several press releases to the local newspapers maybe this time i will sell something but if i don t it won t have cost me to see my paintings in more detail please visit www annagreaves com posted by anna at 4 12 pm 26 comments labels art artist dark exhibition light oil painter painting proffessional
