Busy, Busy...

I'm trying desperately to properly stock my Artfire store without compromising my style in jewelry. I got a few things finished and pictures taken (miracle!) but now the descriptions and tags have to be done. Darned store is hard work!
From jewelry
Champagne top drilled pearls with peacock pearls and golden pyrite from Beads Of Cambay. The pendant at the bottom is on a sterling lobster clasp and can be removed to give the necklace a completely different look.

The next necklace is turquoise and copper, Let Your Spirit Soar.

The clasp is a handmade copper bird.

The last necklace is rhodonite with a silver handmade toggle clasp.

  1. Can I make a suggestion?
    Tagging and writing descriptions is hard work, you're right, and they need almost as much care and attention as creating pieces to stock our studios..
    What I do is make a few pieces, photograph them, and then add them to the studio, writing the descriptions as I go..don't try to create something, take pics and list it, then go back to making something, taking pics, listing, etc...it breaks up your creative flow (in my humble opinion...)
    I just create until I'm cross-eyed, take a bit of a break, then take a series of pictures, then start listing..and after all this time, my pictures still suck..wish I could afford a professional!
    Good luck in your endeavor..♥

  2. I think you're right, but I'm not sure which is worse. Three items, almost half a day to take pics and edit them, and now another half day for the descriptions and tags. Course, when you can't remember if you used rhodonite or rhodocrosite it doesn't help. Nor does Google, when you can't say "champagne pearls." I just want to make stuff!
