New Web Store Ideas, Need feedback please ;)
14 years ago
I am looking at starting a website with a store that sells:
1. My artwork and commission pieces
2. Polymer clay sculptures and dolls (you can request sculptures and dolls as well)
3. Chainmail items and jewelry
4. Satin collars with clasps and large pendants
5. Hand crafted and decorated resin based cat ears with bands like you see at conventions (youd also be allowed to choose from predecorated ears or request your own color and addons such as fur/color/ribbons etc).
Would that interest anyone? I want some feedback before I throw myself into such a large project :)
Ive done something similar before where I sold furry legwarmers, tails, and full fur outfits like skirts and bra tops, which I might also start selling again as well since I still do it for close friends, but I had not run a store before and I was bit too young at the time to handle such a large project. Having worked in sales and management positions I wanted to give this a go again :)
A lot of the pendants and such I will be using are also made from scratch by other artists, as I believe in helping the artist and crafty community out by buying from original creators instead of real stores, cat ear resin bases will be provided by the lovely
ladychecke and pendants used in the jewelry making are provided by a local jewelry maker here in Dallas, TX. :)

Unfortunately I'm super broke, so I can't say that I would be able to buy anything.
I love the idea of giving other artists a helping hand through this. It looks like you have this very well thought out.
And you'll be surprised, most of them wont even be that expensive, that's another great thing about buying from other artists and making stuff from scratch is I don't have to pay ungodly amounts, so I also don't have to charge as much after their finished. (lesson learned on that one)
That is a pretty good idea. Maybe I will make a ton of jewelry for you to sell. I have have a few simple designs I can pump out real fast.
I'd love to do a crafts trade with you sometime in the future if you would be interested, I love seeing all the new stuff you keep posting on FB :3
That sounds like a great idea!
