My canvas bags have been getting a lot of attention lately. People love that there is an environmentally friendly option out there with quality and durability in mind. I can also attest to how awesome these bags are. The ten ounce all natural cotton canvas is some of the best fabric I've ever had the pleasure of working with. It is strong enough to carry 40+ lbs for years, maybe even a lifetime! The handle is made from a super sturdy cotton webbing that is wide enough to prevent the strap from cutting into your skin when carrying heavy loads. The large 18"x18" bag is the perfect size for over-stuffing but isn't so big that it gets too heavy. Seriously, I own 3 of these bags and deny myself more on a regular basis. (The hubby says I don't have room for more purses.)<br />
<br />
In case you were wondering - no, I don't carry chicks in my purse all the time. I mostly use them as totes at the farmers market, grocery bags, or a diaper bag. They've worked as picnic baskets, for carry on luggage at the airport, and as gifts! (Please note these bags are not intended to carry live animals or people.) I just thought the chickens made the photo more interesting and cute.<br />
<br />
Here are a few more cute chicken photos:<br />

I put all my efforts into moving forward in as many ways as I could and it paid off.<br />
<br />
What I did last year that I am proud of:<br />
- Making an effort to network more for my company.<br />
- Taking chances that didn't pan out financially but allowed me to gain valuable knowledge and experience.<br />
- Asking others for help in areas they excelled at where I would have had difficulty.<br />
- Meeting my online sales goals that I set for the year.<br />
<br />
What I would like to improve upon this year:<br />
- Offering more options for my company and eliminating options that don't sell well.<br />
- Launch the new website with a shopping cart and better design.<br />
- Take more product photos. LOTS more.<br />
- Increase sales by 25%.<br />
<br />
Share your successes from last year and the changes you plan to make this year in the comments below!<br />

and effort. Everything I make is special to me. So asking me which item
is my favorite is like asking a parents who is your favorite child is. <br />

<b><i>Where or what do you draw your inspiration from?</i> </b><br />
My Inspiration comes from games and anime. If I see something I like I
try to make it. It's even better when I think the item is a challenge.
So I design the item in my head and put it together with my hands. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Where do you see Shadowlune 5 years from now?</i></b><br />
In five years I still see me doing this. I see me still owning a shop on Etsy. I also still see me being an artist at an event called art walk.
My shop might be bigger in five years, my items will better, but you'll
still have the same girl. The gamer and anime freak that loves to make
her stuff. <br />

I stay motivated by the people and my family. Whenever I see someone
smile or get excited because they see something they like that I made
keeps me motivated. Come on isn't it great when you make someone smile?
My family also keeps me motivated. They are proud of me and the stuff I
can do. Because not just anyone can do what I do and stick to it. :) <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Tell us a little about the item you are giving away.</i></b><br />
The prize for the give away from me will be a Ditto Plush and a Pokeball Necklace. The retail value for this prize is $15 dollars. I want to give this
away because I was watching the old Pokemon show and it just came to me.
I hope who ever wins them will love them. :)<br />

Time for my first product review! If you love jewelery (and especially handmade jewelry) then you are going to L-O-V-E <i>love</i> this review. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/melissa6381" target="_blank">Melissa</a>, of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheTinyBee?ref=pr_shop_more" target="_blank">The Tiny Bee</a>, kindly sent me a pair of her yellow Chrysanthemum <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheTinyBee?section_id=12537132" target="_blank">Earrings</a> to review and I must say - these earrings get a big thumbs up from me! Read on for details on why I love these earrings so much.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKdpcqKoYlFaq7hxIGusoN67OfXIqhmaluoMENYXbUQ8zS7_6uLo039gPcY9FgySp4_vPms1hESGhFDqPR5NhuWYcC-Y1WPwddxdmPcttN6E2wjp834UD-MZh2NlQLzZ99FXL89aqmVmk/s1600/yellow_flower_earrings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKdpcqKoYlFaq7hxIGusoN67OfXIqhmaluoMENYXbUQ8zS7_6uLo039gPcY9FgySp4_vPms1hESGhFDqPR5NhuWYcC-Y1WPwddxdmPcttN6E2wjp834UD-MZh2NlQLzZ99FXL89aqmVmk/s640/yellow_flower_earrings.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
First let me say that I sometimes have trouble with earrings. I <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretching_%28body_piercing%29" target="_blank">gauged my ears</a> when I was younger and have saggy holes as a result. These saggy holes tend to droop when I wear heavy earrings. Seeing as the earrings from The Tiny Bee are polymer clay I was a bit worried my ears might droop when I wore them but they didn't! I put a larger back on them and they held firmly against my ears all night. The backs that came with the earrings would work wonderfully if you didn't stretch your ears like I used to - that's my own fault.<br />
<br />
The second problem I sometimes have with earrings is when my hair gets caught in them. No one likes the pain that comes from brushing your hair and ripping out an earring. <b><i>These earrings did not catch my hair once and I wore them to a concert with a mosh pit!</i></b> I'm surprised at this since I have very fine long hair. It gives me confidence to wear these lovely earrings more often for sure.<br />
<br />
The final thing I would like to look at with these earrings is design. Are they beautiful? Check. Are they professional quality? Check. Do I love the color and composition? Double Check! Did I get complimented while wearing them? Check! Will I be wearing them again? YES - and soon!<br />
<br />
In summary, I love these earrings. At around $8.00 a pair I think I know <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheTinyBee" target="_blank">one of the stores</a> I'll be looking at during the holiday season. The factors that make these earrings so wonderful in my opinion are that they are affordable, beautiful, made with quality craftsmanship, and of course that they are handmade. I would absolutely recommend <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheTinyBee" target="_blank">The Tiny Bee</a> to all my friends and family. <br />

Stories of handmade artists having their designs and product photos stolen by Chinese Factories can sure make you shudder - especially if you create and sell your items through this online marketplace!<br />
<br />
Etsy claims to be a site that fosters handmade. They have thrived on the ideal that everything sold on their site comes from an individual, a person that makes each item with love and care. Yet they have had to create teams of people to police their site for "resellers." If you ask me, I'm positive the Etsy police can't patrol the rip-offs as fast as the Chinese factories can make them.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.alibaba.com/" target="_blank">Alibaba</a> is a wholesale site selling items manufactured in Asian countries. Alibaba is well known among Etsy sellers as a site that fosters resellers and rip-offs. Most stories of Etsy products being mass produced without permission from the artist are linked to an Alibaba listing or twenty. (For those of you wondering what you are supposed to do when intellectual property is stolen by Alibaba, I would direct you to their <a href="http://legal.alibaba.com/index.htm?site_type=international&language_id=english&tracelog=newschp_help_ipr" target="_blank">complaint form</a>. I can't personally speak to the effectiveness of using this form but I would love to hear from anyone who has had experience with this.) Occasionally I make a point to surf the massive site for my items being pawned off at a discount rate. A simple "teepee" search reveals... Alibaba sellers still can't make a real tipi. Let's do a quick comparison.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Has 13 to14 poles total depending on the tribe making it. </i></li>
<li><i>Has 3 to 4 poles (again depending on the tribe making it) called "lift poles" that form the base upon which the other poles are added.</i></li>
<li><i>Is cone shaped with a round footprint. </i></li>
</ul>

<li><i> No smoke flaps. A strange cap instead...</i></li>
<i>
</i>
<li><i>Only 1 steel pole in the center, not 13 or 14 poles. The sides are staked down. </i></li>

<li><i>No lacing pins.</i></li>

<br />
<br />
What does it have in common with a Tepee though? It is cone shaped and round. It is made from canvas. That's about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
The problem with these wannabe Teepees (or Cheepie Tipis as a friend of mine calls them) is that they don't have all the strengthening features that a real tepee does making them vulnerable in many ways. Authentic Teepees have reinforcement patches, a time tested structure that is erected and bound in a way that resists strong winds and heavy snow, openings at the top to allow a fire inside without smoking out the people inside, and most importantly - tradition. To me, a real tipi is made by someone who has a great love and appreciation for the history of the tipi and it's people. <br />
<br />
This brings me to my closing thoughts. I am proud to make real tipis and pleased that the imitation tipis are so inaccurate and (personal opinion) ugly. I am thankful to have been able to learn my craft despite all the challenges I encountered. Most importantly I am grateful for the friends I have made along this path. Many thanks go out to Maria (the Spanish speaking lady who taught me to sew my first tipi front), Linda Holley (who wrote <a href="http://www.tipis.org/articles_and_books.htm" target="_blank">the most amazing book about Tepees</a> and aided me in producing a historically accurate pattern), <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgjRiud_qWI" target="_blank">Little Joe</a> of <a href="http://www.ahkitipi.com/" target="_blank">Ahki Tipis</a> (who constantly inspires me by making tipis the traditional way taught to him by his grandmother), Marian (who lives and dreams in <a href="http://grassstainedme.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-tipi-came-to-be.html#comment-form" target="_blank">one of the first Tipis I made</a> and is always the source of a good smile), and my husband (who pushes me to keep reaching for the sky.) Much love to you all, <a href="http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/cherokee.php" target="_blank">wado</a>.<br />

<br />
I had a few questions for Melissa about her shop. Here is what she said:<br />
<br />
<i>What is your favorite item from your store to make and why?</i><br />
My favorite things to make are the things I'm making for the first time.
I love learning so its fun for me to try a new technique, pattern, or
design.<br />
<br />
<i>Where or what do you draw your inspiration from?</i><br />
Craft stores are my happy place. I draw a lot of inspiration just from
looking at materials and day dreaming about what they could become. I
taught myself to sew and work with clay using YouTube <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
videos and
Pinterest tutorials. I apply the lessons from my internet teachers to
materials I like and make things that I want to use. That's my basic
formula. <br />
<br />
<i>Where do you see The Tiny Bee 5 years from now?</i><br />
I put no limit on where this adventure could take me. I'd love to
support myself on The Tiny Bee full time which is my current goal. In 5
years I hope to be saying, "Wow, this is more than I could have ever
dreamed of". <br />
<br />
<i>How do you stay motivated?</i><br />
Most importantly, I am very passionate about my business. I have a
strong desire to succeed and create. Secondly, I am motivated by my
failures. When something isn't working I learn from my mistakes, make
the necessary changes, and wait for the results. I find it deeply
satisfying and motivating to see improvements when I put in the hard
work of editing myself. <br />
<i><br />Tell us a little about the item you are giving away. </i><br />
We are giving away a pair of my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/147517663?" target="_blank">yellow polymer clay chrysanthemum earrings</a>. These bright and cheery flower studs retail in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheTinyBee?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> for $8 a pair.<br />

Faceless characters with fake names and what would seem like a fat wallet. I've had to deal with too many of these since opening <a href="http://www.tinytipis.etsy.com/" target="_blank">my company</a> online. Luckily I've learned the <a href="http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/fraud/internet_fraud" target="_blank">signs to recognize a scam</a>. Hopefully my experiences can help others avoid loosing money to these financial gremlins.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>August 3rd, 2013:</i> My company receives an email from a man with an alarmingly fake name and poor grammar. He is interested in my products and would like to know where he can buy them online. I kindly email him links to places he can find Tiny Tipis online. I'm already 25% sure this is a scam. <br />
<br />
<i>August 6th, 2013:</i> He emails me back stating he would like to purchase 10 of my most expensive items. He needs the price excluding shipping. Now I'm 50% sure it's a scam. Who needs 10 tepees and why is the shipping cost not a concern? Also, the price is listed online - is he so bad at math he couldn't multiply by 10? The more likely option is that this is a scammer who never bothered to click the link and see what a Tiny Tipi is. I email him back with the basic cost and request an address for a shipping quote.<br />
<br />
<i>August 12th, 2013:</i> I receive an email from him stating he would like me to contact a freight company he uses. He sends me the shipping address and asks me to let him know what the freight company will charge so he may send me the money and have me pay them upon pickup. Now I'm 99% sure this is a scam. I Google the address and see that the location I am supposed to ship to is a <a href="http://www.bp.com/genericsection.do?categoryId=16003623&contentId=7020804" target="_blank">BP Europa Property</a>. Is BP buying Tipis now? I think not. Now I'm really onto him. I Google his fake name and find that the person I am emailing is either dead or not in existence. Now I look at the contact info for the freight company. Another quick Google search turns up a fishy looking page for a company with no contact info to compare to. I politely let him know that my company only ships via <a href="https://www.usps.com/" target="_blank">USPS</a> or <a href="http://www.fedex.com/us/" target="_blank">FedEx</a>. He sends me a reply almost instantly saying it has to be his freight company with copied and pasted text from the previous email. I politely decline to use any other courier and have yet to hear back again.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></h4>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are things that immediately send up a red flag for me:</span></h3>
<br />
- A customer wanting to take care of the shipment details. If I buy something on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/" target="_blank">Amazon</a> do you think I waste a second thought on who or how it is being shipped? No. I care about the cost and how quickly it will arrive. I don't try to hire my own shipping company.<br />
<br />
- A name that just sounds fake. If you can't Google it and find traces of a real person with a real life they probably don't exist. Everyone and their grandma has a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TinyTipis" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or email these days. If it's a real person chances are you will find them. <br />
<br />
- The address goes to an industrial area. My company provides consumer products, not industrial materials. I expect most of my sales to be shipped to a house or apartment.<br />
<br />
- A complete disregard for the cost. Most people care how much they spend. If you were going to fork out several hundred dollars (or in this guy's case almost $15,000) wouldn't you have questions about the product? I know I try to make my descriptions as detailed as possible but I would still expect some conversation to be needed on such a large purchase.<br />
<br />
- Poor grammar or English. At several points in the email conversation the "customer" refers to my product in terms of Units. "I would like to order the units." Who calls a tipi a unit? No one! People call them Native American Lodges, Tipis, Tepees, Teepees, Native Dwellings... not "units."<br />
<br />
<br />
- Requesting a Wire Transfer because they sent too much money. While this didn't happen in the current incident I have seen it before. One of the first scam attempts I avoided I recieved a check for nearly 4x the cost of the item. The customer basically said "Oops I sent to much. Wire transfer the extra back to me and keep a little extra for yourself." Yeah, fat chance. I don't ship until every penny is in my account and cleared. A "pending" transaction can be canceled or pulled leaving you with a negative balance if you already withdrew some of that. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tips to keep yourself safe:</span></h3>
<br />
- Only sell through an online venue such as <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a>, <a href="http://www.storenvy.com/" target="_blank">Storenvy</a>, <a href="http://www.zibbet.com/" target="_blank">Zibbet</a>, <a href="http://www.artfire.com/" target="_blank">ArtFire</a>, or other similar sites that offer addition protection for both seller and consumer.<br />
<br />
- Clearly state that products do not ship until payment has FULLY cleared. Do not ship if payment is still "Pending." If you cannot physically hold the money in your hands the item should not ship yet.<br />
<br />
- Ship large items or orders you are nervous about with tracking and signature confirmation. Get insurance on it. Keep all receipts so that if something goes wrong you have a way to prove your side. <br />
<br />
- Keep a separate bank account that sites like PayPal do not have access to. Transfer the money without linking to this separate bank account so that PayPal and other payment processing sites don't have the ability to tap into that. If everything is linked they will take what they feel you owe them and leave you wondering how you went wrong.<br />
<br />
- <a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Google</a> it... <a href="http://www.bing.com/" target="_blank">Bing</a> it... <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo</a> Search it... Just make sure you get the full story on anything that seems fishy. <br />
<br />
- Follow your gut. If it seems to good to be true or too easy... it probably is. Nothing in life is easy. <br />
<br />
<br />

Tiny Tipishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02414518334212204722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251051026553746089.post-21207377889785791242013-05-31T07:34:00.000-07:002013-06-11T11:50:49.572-07:00Festival LessonsI recently attended Territory Days in Colorado Springs with my company. There are things I will do differently and things I will do the same at my next event.<br />
<br />
My Top Changes:<br />
1) Get a white tent and make my own walls. A blue top is nice for shade but uninviting for customers as it lets less light in.<br />
2) I need more displays. As the Mayor of Territory Days said... I need a hooker. Something that hooks peoples attention and draws them into my booth. My mini tipi worked ok but next time I'm planning bigger.<br />
3) Be loud. I've already booked a friend with a loud booming voice to recite a short spiel about my products in order to draw people in from further away.<br />
<br />
<br />
My Top Successes:<br />
1) Saying "Hello" to everyone within earshot that made eye contact.<br />
2) Smiling... ALL DAY. Think of your booth as a stage, face the audience and put on a happy face. It makes you and your products more inviting.<br />
3) Know your products. Saying "um" before you answer a question makes you seem like you don't know what you're doing and could cost you sales.<br />
4) Network. Even if you aren't making as many sales as you want you can make the best of an event by talking with other vendors, coordinators, and such. This simple act may allow me to attend the same event next year for $200 less. I also got invitations to 4 other events in my area because of this.<br />
5) Show your enthusiasm for what you do. Not only does it show your level of commitment but it is rewarding beyond description when you meet a person that <i>sees</i> your vision and shares in your excitement.<br />
6) Be polite even when someone is rude to you. I was told at this event that I should not be doing what I do (making Tipis Tepees Teepees) because I am a woman. A man told me that a woman's job is to set up the Tipi not make them. As insulting as it may be I was polite and kind to the rather interesting fellow - the history of some tribes is that even though we do not live in the days of old. As he walked away I tried to find one thing to appreciate him for so our mood killing chat wouldn't affect the rest of my day or my sales. I came to the conclusion that he had very pretty hair and went about my day as normal. For anyone who thinks this old tradition should still be followed I will add that the majority of Tipi Manufacturers, even if male owned, are female operated with the sewing being done by women. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You win some, you loose some. All you can do is keep trying. Focus on the positive to keep you upbeat and think of how you will change the negative. Just don't give up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What are your experiences with events and festivals? Did you have a tactic that worked wonders for you or something that you now know was a really bad idea? <br />
