<br />
Deadline: August / In time to apply for the next Brisbane Finders Keepers Market<br />
<br />
Current Status: I think I'm on the right track. I've been researching collections by some of my favourite jewellery labels including <a href="http://www.lizziefortunatojewels.com/">Lizzie Fortunato Jewels</a>, who I only discovered a week ago and have already looked through their ranges three or four times, I just like looking at it. I've started an <a href="http://pinterest.com/hearsay/sea-dreams-inspiration/">inspiration board</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/"><span id="goog_497009719"></span>Pinterest<span id="goog_497009720"></span></a>, I've made a prototype and have started a sketch book.<br />

I'm very excited about this new collection and can't wait to get prototyping.<br />

<br />

<br />
The sale will only apply to the markets so if you live nearby pop out to see me at Burleigh Heads State School oval the 20th of May 8am to 1pm.<br />
<br />
There will be earrings, hair clips and more all available at a reduced rate, very exciting.<br />
<br />
On top of the fabulous sale I will also be officially launching a gorgeous new range of waxed cotton cord jewellery in a selection of bright fun colours.<br />

I'd been doing this on the living room table and needed to clear it before a friend came over for dinner, and I did, but when all the tools and scraps and materials were cleared away I decided I would quickly lay out all my necklaces and bracelets out and organise them into collections.<br />
<br />

This is my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/HearsayDesigns?section_id=11464100">rope collection</a>, I was already pretty sure of it but I now have some extra pieces and am toying with the idea of dyeing or painting the rope so I can offer a wider variety of colours.<br />

The twine tassel necklace and twine bracelet feel a little out of place here, I might have some thinking to do.<br />
<br />
There are two more collections I'm working on, however, I'm going to keep a little more tight lipped about these until there ready to be launched, or relaunched in the case of one of them. Here are some teaser shots to get your mind spinning.<br />

What do I want from it? What impression do I want it to give? What do I want it to say about my work?<br />

Well I started with a mood board...<br />

Then I planned a trip to the op shops but after realizing I had next to no money decided to raid the garage instead. I found an old play cabinet my grandfather made for me.<br />

At this point I'd already done some cleaning work (it was covered in cobwebs and wasp nests), removed the doors, rusted hooks and plastic runners.<br />

I cut it in half to make two shelves that would sit nicely on my table.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I tore the pretty wallpaper where I cut it.<br />

Because of where I cut it etc etc, the half on the right (above pic) had the back board coming away from the sides at the top. So I got some liquid nails wood glue and glued it together. I left it for a day and then secured it further with actual nails.<br />
<br />
While this was happening I spray painted the other side. <br />

And here's a picture of my darling helping me cover the wall paper in preparation of spray painting.<br />
I thought rather than using all the masking tape I would use waxed paper and just mask the edges and secure the paper with the tape... big mistake.<br />

Next I drilled little holes wherever I wanted hooks to go and then I screwed in the hooks.<br />

seems to be quite a trend in fashion at the moment towards the Native American.
Tribal/geometric prints and feathers are everywhere. It's a trend we've seen
before, I remember only a few years ago fringes were quite the thing, and I'm
sure we'll see it again. I'm quite a fan of this look and while I won't be
using actual feathers I'm keen to incorporate some Native American imagery,
patterns and materials into my own jewellery. The first logical step? Google
images of course.</span></span></div>

Now 2012 has begun and things are going to be bigger and better than ever before. I can't wait!<br />
I'm so thrilled with how Hearsay has gone so far, and it still boggles my mind when people respond so well to my creations, to the point where I can actually determine best sellers. So without further ado here they are, Hearsay's best sellers of 2011.<br />

Meet Hubert. Named for the professor in Futurama.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
After the last West End Twilight Market of the year I was desperate for a stuffed elephant. I'd missed out on a gorgeous one (nothing like mine, not that he isn't gorgeous) and resolved to make my own. After a half-arsed google search didn't turn up the exact pattern I wanted I was disheartened, but I did find <a href="http://www.loosetooth.com/Art/Gallery/Softies/1104/index.htm">this </a>and was inspired to just make it up as I went. The result was Hubert.<br />

Hubert is made with felt, embroidery thread, little button eyes, and some stuffing my dog pulled out of his bed. My plan is to keep him in my handbag and pull him out during awkward social situations, though he'll probably just stay sitting on my desk beside my printer. he's about 8cm long, 6.5cm tall, and 5cm wide.<br />

I just love little stacks of neatly cut paper don't you?<br />
<br />
So tomorrow's the <a href="http://westendtwilightmarkets.com/">West End Twilight Markets</a>, held every Saturday at the corner of Wilson and Boundary St.<br />
They only started up a month ago but have a great vibe with live music and great food. I'm thrilled to announce that I will not only be selling at tomorrow's market but the one after that as well. I'm hoping they'll serve as a good lead up to Christmas and am looking forward to meeting new people and trying a completely different type of market.<br />
If you still need that perfect present, or an awesome stocking stuffer, maybe a secret santa gift check out the <a href="http://westendtwilightmarkets.com/">West End Twilight Markets.</a><br />
I think it will be great, see you there.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05182942826713959063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361380806707161537.post-13386456744308607952011-11-24T01:06:00.001-08:002011-11-24T01:06:18.396-08:00Mmmm Coffee<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><div style='position:relative;width:600px;height:600px;'><a href='http://www.polyvore.com/mmmm_coffee/set?.embedder=3041680&.svc=blogger&id=39886085'><img force='1' border='0' height='600' title='Mmmm Coffee' src='http://embed.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/39886085/id/oG3IkXsW4RGoQpRWcDIVAQ/size/y.jpg' alt='Mmmm Coffee' width='600'/></a></div><br/><div><small><a href='http://www.polyvore.com/mmmm_coffee/set?.embedder=3041680&.svc=blogger&id=39886085'>Mmmm Coffee</a> by <a href='http://sarahfallon.polyvore.com/?.embedder=3041680&.svc=blogger'>sarahfallon</a> on <a href='http://www.polyvore.com/'>polyvore.com</a></small></div><small><div style='padding-top:16px'><p style='clear:both;margin:0em;padding:0px'><a href='http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3041680&.svc=blogger&id=45371562' rel='nofollow'><img force='1' height='50' style='border:1px solid #cccccc;margin:0 8px 8px 0;padding:2px;background-color:#ffffff;' src='http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/45371562.jpg' hspace='4' align='left' width='50'/></a><div style='margin-bottom:8px'><a href='http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3041680&.svc=blogger&id=45371562' rel='nofollow'>Kate Spade New York Wickford Sea Cliffs Mugs</a><br/>$19 - lordandtaylor.com<br/><br style='display:none'/></div></p><p style='clear:both;margin:0em;padding:0px'><a href='http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3041680&.svc=blogger&id=40735333' rel='nofollow'><img force='1' height='50' style='border:1px solid #cccccc;margin:0 8px 8px 0;padding:2px;background-color:#ffffff;' src='http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/40735333.jpg' hspace='4' align='left' width='50'/></a><div style='margin-bottom:8px'><a href='http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3041680&.svc=blogger&id=40735333' rel='nofollow'>Jonathan Adler Carnaby Scales Mug</a><br/>$18 - lordandtaylor.com<br/><br style='display:none'/></div></p><p style='clear:both;margin:0em;padding:0px'><a href='http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3041680&.svc=blogger&id=43371262' rel='nofollow'><img force='1' height='50' style='border:1px solid #cccccc;margin:0 8px 8px 0;padding:2px;background-color:#ffffff;' src='http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/43371262.jpg' hspace='4' align='left' width='50'/></a><div style='margin-bottom:8px'><a href='http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=3041680&.svc=blogger&id=43371262' rel='nofollow'>UGLYDOLL BABO COFFEE MUG in Kitchen at Sourpuss Clothing</a><br/>$12 - sourpussclothing.com<br/><br style='display:none'/></div></p></div></small></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05182942826713959063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361380806707161537.post-40310758214687035682011-11-24T00:47:00.001-08:002011-11-24T00:51:35.815-08:00Monochrome<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<small>It seems like I'm just catching on to Pinterest when Polyvore comes walking along. Here's my very first set, I was just playing really, hope you like it. I'm going to 'clip' some of my items at some point and make some Hearsay sets or sets with Hearsay items in them. But most importantly it's really fun, try it out. </small><br />

<br />
My word count for NaNoWriMo is currently around 34500 which is roughly 2000 words behind today's goal. This is partly because I have been sneaking away from the laptop every so often to make bracelets. That's right bracelets. A sector of the jewellery realm that Hearsay was yet to discover... until now. <br />
<br />
Here's some previews of what I've been working on.<br />

These two are still in the production stage, I'm not too sure about the one on the left and the one on the right is made with beautiful white wooden beads I bought in Sydney and now have to figure out if they're available to buy online or mail order.<br />

This one I really quite like, though I made it a bit big for myself. Unfortunately the recycled silk thread I made it from (bought in Byron, made in Nepal) is easily broken. That may not be the case with the multiple threads and the wrapping, but I just don't trust it to hold up under the stresses of everyday life.<br />

Last but not least, something a little different. Four strands of black cord and silver plated findings this bracelet is a little more elegant and classic than the others, it will also be at Bleeding Heart and online in the coming weeks.<br />
<br />
I'm also working on a semi-top secret fringe bracelet. I finished the prototype today but the photo's I took don't do it justice, so I'm hiding it away until further notice.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05182942826713959063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361380806707161537.post-39115537416840112382011-10-30T18:27:00.000-07:002011-10-30T18:28:14.707-07:00Craft vs. WriteTomorrow NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) begins. I love NaNoWriMo but this year I'm so busy I don't know if I'll actually make it. It's going to be a real struggle keeping Hearsay up and running, regularly posting on two blogs and writing 50000 words, unless of course I include the blog posts in my novel.<br />
<br />
e.g. MC (Main Character) wrote a blog. The blog was as follows...<br />
<br />
It'll be especially interesting if she's in the middle of some intense chase scene,<br />
<br />
e.g. MC fled from the terrorists. She rounded a corner and stopped for a moment to write a blog. The blog was as follows...<br />
<br />
Yeah I think that'll work nicely.<br />
<br />
Back to the real world.<br />
I am really excited about NaNo this year. I plan on writing a series of short stories (rather than a novel) that centres around another short story that I spent the better part of this year working on. But I still have a lot to do for Hearsay as well. This Friday is <a href="http://www.bleedingheart.com.au/">Bleeding Heart Markets</a> and on Sunday I'm selling for the first time at <a href="http://suitcase-rummage.blogspot.com/">Suitcase Rummage</a>. On the Saturday and Sunday (not that I have to physically be there for this) I have a necklace on display at the Etsy Australia stall at <a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/">Finders Keepers</a>. After those are done and dusted I'll only have to keep my online stores up to date (which won't take much since I'm yet to make a sale) and replenish any stock for the December Markets.<br />
I shouldn't really complain, there are people with full time jobs and children who manage to reach 50000 words. I have no excuses, I can do this.<br />
<br />
Watch out NaNo WriMo, here I come.<br />

I've had a good run (2 in a a row) at the markets, <a href="http://www.curves.com.au/">Curves </a>Girls Night in was great. Lots of nibblies to keep me going and lots of friendly people and fun games.<br />
I also might have my Knitted Rope Necklace on display and <a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/">Finders Keepers</a> market this November in Brisbane. It won't be available for sale but you will be able to check it out in the flesh and pick up a business card.

Last Boot Camp was all about photography, and you'll be happy to here I did fill in some knowledge gaps about my camera and took so more product shots. I think it's safe to tick of week 3 as done, which is good because week 4 is here.<br />
<br />
To Do<br />
<ul>
<li>Read Writing 101 - Done</li>
<li>Fill out Writing Worksheet - Not done, but I've sent out a few emails to my friends to gather the necessary info to do so</li>
<li>Read SEO tips for the holidays - I'm sure I'll get around to it</li>
<li>Update item descriptions - do I have to?</li>
<li> Compare SEO noted with buddy - ...</li>
<li>Check in with Etsy Success Team - Okey Dokey Do</li>
</ul>
So of I go to tick those that are yet be ticked...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05182942826713959063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361380806707161537.post-62054169675710635882011-10-07T21:29:00.000-07:002011-10-07T21:29:28.423-07:00Boot Camp - Week 3So it's week 3 of boot camp and I'm officially behind. Don't tell me I was supposed to actually do week 2's to do list in week 2.<br />
<br />
Anyway this weeks all about photography. I'm pretty happy with photography so far, not that their isn't room for improvement, but I'm hoping their will be less for me to do than last week.<br />

here's some examples of my photography prowess, I really like the ring, and since one of this weeks to do list tasks is to get photo feedback from your buddy, maybe someone out there in the land of the Internet could leave a comment.<br />
<br />
To Do list<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Go through get to know your camera checklist - done and there were only two things I don't know how to do... I'll look them up later.</li>
<li>Ready <a href="http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2010/etsys-guide-to-photography/?utm_source=bronto&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Read+the+guide+online+here&utm_content=etsy_success_100611_bc&utm_campaign=etsy_success_100611_bc">etsy's guide to photography</a> - since etsy's guide to photography is a large collection of other blog posts I've only partially done this... so far.</li>
<li>Photograph holiday packaging - what holiday packaging?</li>
<li>Advanced task: Mastering depth of field - maybe later</li>
<li>Share photo critiques with buddy - please leave comments below</li>
<li>Add new photos to listings - I could do that, <i>or </i>I could have another triple chocolate muffin.</li>
</ul>

Yesterday was Bleeding Heart markets, the launch of my new necklaces and thus the launch of a new stall design. I got a lot of complements on the new design actually from my co stall owners and customers alike which made me very happy, and I really think the black table cloth (as opposed to white) makes a very positive difference (though I miss the subtle texture and pattern my white one had).<br />

This is my first product collage so be kind, I plan on improving.<br />
The earrings and clips are exactly two items that sold yesterday. The crowned silhouette image sold as a greeting card. The Barrel of Monkeys necklace sold in red, and the ring sold in navy and white stripes (more will be in stock and on etsy soon).<br />
<br />
I think the most pressing thing for me to do now (apart from all my boot camp to dos) is get these items up on Etsy, I have heaps of products that haven't even been subjected to photography yet and that simply will not do.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05182942826713959063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361380806707161537.post-46938812039646342392011-09-30T01:08:00.000-07:002011-09-30T15:18:23.562-07:00Boot camp - Week 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So now its week two of Etsy's holiday boot camp. The picture above has absolutely nothing to do with that, I just love barrel of monkeys and am absolutely obsessed with turning them into fun, funky necklaces (coming to an etsy store near you), thanks to Carindale Toy World for actually stocking the little critters.<br />
<br />
Ok but back to boot camp. <a href="http://itsjusthearsay.blogspot.com/2011/09/bootcamp.html">Last week</a> I still had a few things to tick off my list, all of which I did except make a boot camp buddy and so now you, the readers of this blog, are my etsy buddy which means I can tick off the 'check in with your buddy' portion of this weeks checklist. Mwahahahaha (I'm tired, and when I'm tired I evil genius laugh).<br />
<br />
Week 2 Checklist<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Study Stocking Up for the Holidays</i> - done! But I might have to do it again, my tired brain ain't processing so good.</li>
<li><i>Fill out holiday project worksheet</i> - I like worksheets so I'll do this shortly</li>
<li><i>Create to do list for launching holiday products</i> - I like lists too so I'll probably do this soon too</li>
<li><i>Check in with this week's Etsy Success Forum Thread</i> - Done and given me some great ideas for my to do list, although I think I can feel the grey hairs sprouting as the stress rolls in. (I found one this morning and when I got carded at the bottle-o the lady said I was 'well past [18]' and I'm only 22)</li>
<li><i>Consult with you Boot Camp buddy</i> - Done (see above)</li>
<li><i>Keep an eye on your Search Ad Stats</i> - I haven't got any search ads yet and am not entirely convince I'm going to buy any this year, but I most certainly will keep an eye on all my other stats. I like stats</li>
</ul>
And that is week two, I'll keep you posted, maybe even let you see my to do list.

<br />
Week one's to do list:<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Read this week's blog: A Flying Start </i>- Done</li>
<li><i>Fill out your holiday budget worksheet</i> - will do after this post</li>
<li><i>Print and apply your Holiday Boot Camp Stickers</i> (they're these cute stickers marking goals and deadlines on my calendar) - I don't even know how to start deciding where to put these :(</li>
<li><i>Share your personal holiday goals</i> - scroll down and you will see.</li>
<li><i>Find your Holiday Boot Camp buddy</i> - Maybe I'll meet someone at the next Bleeding Heart Market, until then I'm flying solo (I'm not very socially pro-active).</li>
</ul>
<br />
My Personal Holiday Goals<br />
<ul>
<li>To have at least six new products ready for sale and on my etsy site in time for the holiday rush.</li>
<li>To have a new display picture for my store and facebook</li>
<li>And to provide a friendly happy shopping experience</li>
</ul>
<br />
Here's hoping all my dreams come true.
