MY VERY FIRST ETSY FRONTPAGE FEATURE

Sorry to write my title in all caps. So this is how it feels... empowering! I'm so grateful to ShelleAnne on Etsy on curating the treasury. I was busy with our newly repaired Juki Sewing machine that has never been used for more than 26 years till now! Then I went online and checked my facebook and got curious on why I have a lot of notifications from friends. My last post was yesterday night then I found out that Etsy automatically announces on my wall that I was part of their frontpage.

Wedding Packages: Jewelry and Fashion Accessories

Other than entertaining my grandparents, I spent the whole day listing all the bridal packages for my etsy shop, http://www.luciamanila.etsy.com All the packages I listed were for custom made.

Taking Pictures and Wedding Planning Seminar

I did not design today. I just took pictures of my designs on different angles in 2 different backgrounds. I took pictures of 18 flower hair accessories. I'll change everything I'm pretty exhausted but I was happy with the results! I get to use fresh cut flowers from our garden. The lighting cooperated well... I didn't use much curving from Gimp since the colors were accurate on the first take. Yay!

Wedding Garters
Tomorrow, I'll be attending a seminar on wedding planning. I'm pretty excited! I just hope it's a lot more exciting than the beginner's accounting class

Bridal Fascinator

Today, I finished a bridal fascinator from my friend and former classmate in highschool. I hope she liked the design. I'm really liking creating fabric flower and plumage hair accessories. I'll post this on etsy soon.

Lucia Manila

Yesterday, I designed some business card, banner, and avatar for my next shop, Lucia Manila. I am quite pleased with the result. I used this miniature bench I got from the Heritage Village of Vigan, Ilocos Sur. I'm really in love with the details of this wooden bench set. The textured background is something I accidentally found when dad gave me the toaster box to help me organize my supplies. I found it in the contents and liked the color of it as it complements the little bench that I've been wanting to take pictures of but found no flattering background for it. I'm glad I found that corrugated cardboard....Yay for recycling! I'll be using that as the background for my bridal garters.
