[rm]

Many of you have small businesses, are authors, or otherwise produce stuff for sale.

This is a time of year when people buy stuff.

This is an opportunity to tell people about stuff they can buy that will put money in your pocket.

I will try, but do not know if I will be able to, make a post that compiles everything that people list in comments below via username and category of item. My goal for doing that is a week from tonight (Sunday).

To make this easier for me, and easier for people who browse the comments here, please comment with the following:

IN THE SUBJECT LINE: put the type of stuff you sell (i.e., books, jewelry, art, baked goods, soap, etc.)

IN THE BODY OF THE POST: tell us about your stuff. PLEASE just paste the URLs straight in -- LJ will convert them to HTML, and it will make my life much much easier when doing a compiling post.

Cool?

Cool.

Jewelry

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Hi there! I'm Chris, and I'm the lady behind Sihaya Designs Jewelry.

http://www.sihayadesigns.com
http://sihaya09.etsy.com

I do wire-wrapped jewelry, resin art jewelry (including lovely sparkly faerie wings), and some PMC 99.9% sculpted recycled silver.

I work in sterling silver, fine silver, brass, and copper primarily, though I can do 14k gold-filled upon request. I love gemstones and often work with garnet, moonstone, and (my favorite!) labradorite.

Sihaya Designs releases both fan favorites as well as mythologically-inspired and seasonal collections. I will consider reserving items or doing payment plans for more expensive items, and I absolutely love custom orders.

Hello! I'm Stephanie, and I write fantasy books of various subcategories (romantic, sci-fi, urban). Horror once in a while, too. Snarky female leads are my specialty. :-) You can find descriptions and purchase links here on my website:

Hey! This link didn't work for me, is it right? If it's just me I'll try again later, this sounds really cool :)

Jewelry, Decoupage, Crochet

[poptartodoom.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Courtney, and I make jewelry, primarily Transformers themed, but everything else. I also do decoupage and crochet, but don't have any of those items in my shop at the moment. I *love* custom orders, and I'll do my best to get some new stuff up before Christmas!

Thank you!

A question about whether this qualifies...

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

I work for a non-profit that supports women's groups around the world. You can make a donation in someone's honor as a gift to them. Does that count as "stuff for sale"? If so, let me know and I will follow your instructions. (:

Re: A question about whether this qualifies...

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, totally fine. Please label as Charity or Donation or similar to help me sort later.

Soap

[sola.livejournal.com]

I make soap with tea. :3 I just re-opened the shop; hopefully it has not been cleaned right out by next week, because people are swooping down like harpies. Better get to it.

Re: Soap

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

These are great soaps; the scents are not too strong, but clear, and they feel good on the skin. I don't want to make any medical claims, but I have to observe that the occasional bouts of keratosis pilaris that I get on my upper arms seem to go away when I use her soaps.

Art!

[wingus.livejournal.com]

I am Wingus! I draw things. I can draw YOU things, if you pay me! For a mere ten dollars, I can draw a black and white lineart image of up to two characters! Details are here!

Or if you want something fancier, I can do that, but these are much quicker and easier to get done faster.

Books

[gaaneden.livejournal.com]

I have my pro-blog over at jennifer_brozek. I recently told people that if they wanted to get me something for my birthday or Christmas, they could buy one of my books and then send me a picture of it in the wild.

However, in general, I think my books make for great gifts.

What are my books? Well, here's a link to my Amazon page.

And here is a link to my DriveThruRPG page.

And one for Apex.

Another one and two for Dark Quest Books.

Art and craft!

[sanat.livejournal.com]

Hello, I'm Angela, and my work consists mostly of items and curiosities to display on your walls, desk or mantelpiece. Most of my shop consists of pysanky (eggshells decorated in the Ukrainian wax-resist method), as well as hollow books, black velvet paintings, and figures suspended in resin. I've also created a Zazzle.com storefront to turn some of my more popular paintings into T-shirts and greeting cards.

I am shilling for my friend who makes shiny things! My friend uses a variety of beads and dangling things (from clockwork gears to dragonflies to pentacles) to create necklaces, bracelets and earrings that I frequently cannot resist. :)

Oh damn that stuff is gorgeous and I have no money. *sad* Tell your friend I'm bookmarking the Celtic circles and the Pasiphae and the lucky coins and the ankhs for when I do have thirty-odd dollars to spare, though.

[erratic0101.livejournal.com]

I really like this idea. Would it be ok if I copied it for the HP-NYC forums?

Go right ahead!

Jewelry, Crochet, & Uber Potent Kitty Toys!

[freyas-fire.livejournal.com]

I am the driving force behind Freya's Fire. http://www.freyasfire.etsy.com
I make fused glass jewelry, beaded gemstone jewelry, 100% cotton yarn crocheted fingerless gloves, and kitty toys with my own organic catnip/herb blend that friends have thoughtfully renamed "Kitty Crack." I have the smaller toys and a few big ones up on Etsy right now; and working on more of the bigger ones. Once they're done, I will probably list them over on Artfire. I am FreyasFire over there but I don't have anything listed in the store yet. Once I do, I'll repost with the URL. I'm hoping to eventually list all the catnip toys and crocheted items on Artfire and leave the jewelry on Etsy.
I also have a crocheted Cthulhu kitty/human toy in the pet toy section. It does not contain the catnip blend. I sold out of the ones that did. If you want one with catnip, PM me. :)
Running a winter charity project thru March; all the info is on the announcement page on Etsy.
Thanks!!

Hi! I'm Kendra, and I make jewelry, especially out of antique keys.

http://silverowlcreations.etsy.com
http://www.silverowlcreations.com

I make wire wrapped key jewelry, mostly pendants, decorated with watch gears and/or metal leaves, crystals, and other bits and pieces. I also make wire wrapped filigree, woven wire archways, and assorted other pieces of wire jewelry.

I work mainly in copper or enameled copper wire, including vintage bronze finish, tarnish resistant enameled silver plated copper, and bright colors, with niobium for ear wires.

Unfortunately I can't show my appreciation by buying anything just yet, but I wanted to say your stuff is absolutely beautiful. :-)

[elliemurasaki.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, something my brother would appreciate getting as a gift. (He's arguing with himself over whether to become a priest, monk, or friar, and the entirety of his Christmas list this year was assorted saint medals.)

...that I have no money for. *sad*

Geeky bags from vintage character fabrics

[tartanshell.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for doing this! ♥

I have an Etsy shop where I sell bags and zipper pouches made from repurposed/recycled vintage character-themed sheets from the 1970s-1990s. Star Wars, Rainbow Brite, superheroes, you name it. I love finding a new use for these great old fabrics.

hand-dyed yarn

It's a little bare right now, because I hit a brainweaselly stretch right after a show and I haven't gotten it together to restock properly yet, but:

Hand-dyed yarns, present stock is suitable for knitting socks and shawls... or other stuff, knitters will know what to do with it ;)

Re: hand-dyed yarn

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Oo. Selection may be comparatively sparse, but what's on offer looks gorgeous. (And to judge by the materials involved, probably feels gorgeous too.)

My husband and I create jewelry and curious figurines from polymer clay. We are a little spare around the edges, but there are about a dozen pendants and a couple very cute (no lie) Lovecraftian figurines to choose from right now. We ship only within the US for now (hopefully that will change soon!) via USPS Priority within three business days.

Many thanks to you, rm, for providing this opportunity. :)

Books

[proudcockatrice.livejournal.com]

Well, 'book', technically, since I've only written the one, yet. Sky is a collection of short stories, spanning about forty years, that focus on friendship and romance, with a light dusting of gay erotica. It's available as both a paperback and a PDF, at Lulu.

Paperback: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/sky/13038185
PDF: http://www.lulu.com/product/file-download/sky/13038186

(And thanks for this! It's a wonderful idea, and I'll be linking to your final list.)

Pottery

[juniperus.livejournal.com]

http://www.etsy.com/shop/ecarnellpotter

My style is organic and function-focused; my goal is to compliment the medium, not hide it. What you'll find in my shop has been fired in either a salt or gas kiln (both involving a heavy reduction atmosphere particularly friendly to blues, greens, and neutral shades), or Raku ware (a form of Japanese pottery developed in the late 16th century, but I use a westernized approach)--including using the unique and uncommon variant, horsehair raku (a method of decorating pottery through the application of horse hair and other dry carbonaceous material to the heated ware).

Although the shop is currently set at US postage, I am happy to ship overseas and will figure pricing for individual pieces as requested.

Hello, I'm Sarah, the Glamourkin Girl. :) I create wearable treasures from old, falling apart fairy tale books, words, and magic--they're called Glamourkins. I love what I do with all my heart.

Jewelry

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

I make jewelry by bending wire into interesting shapes and accenting them with glass or stone beads. My major interests are ear cuffs and necklaces, but I also make more traditional dangly earrings. I'm currently enamored with leaf and fang-shaped designs, but I'm starting to experiment more with simple geometric forms.

http://thefeatherforge.etsy.com/
http://featherforge.com/ (process blog, which links to lots of Flickr pictures)

I work primarily with stainless steel and brass wire, but I can do custom orders in sterling silver, non-tarnish silver or brass, and colored "artistic" wire.

I can also make tiaras.

Thanks so much for doing this!
