I am going to be adding my collection of graphics over the next few days. I hope you see something that you like!
I do have limitations on the sizes that I can cut. If you need something bigger than what I have listed, please message me to see if I am able to cut it.
Once that is done, I am going to make it my goal to make at least one thing a week and post it on my blog. Feedback is always encouraged and welcomed!
I will also be adding to the "& More" of Vinyl Artistry. Right now, I am making chainmaille jewelry and I will post things here with prices. Please message me if you are interested in either my vinyl work, or jewelry.
As Always,
Chris

Chain Maille
I have not done any craft shows yet except for one that I did here at my home. Which, for just a few people coming out for it, I feel I did very well. A good friend of mine ordered 25 stretchy bracelets for her daughters soccer team... and that was the 'big' order of the night. I got to see friends that I have not seen for a while and they placed orders too. I have sold a few more bracelets here and there ... and carry my jewelry with me at all times, just in case.
I know I need to do more showings.... but there are a few different reasons that I don't. First, it takes money to enter yourself into craft shows. Juried shows are the best to be in when it comes to jewelry as they pick the best of the best and make sure their isn't too many of one kind of designer but those are even more expensive.
Second, I am not always the greatest at 'selling' my items. Either people want it ... or they don't. There is not much you can say about aluminum rings ... Now, I know I have too many irons in the fire sometimes and I am sure that my husband wants to kill me over it... but he sits and watches... and nods when I show him my latest creations. (Thank you honey)
Yes, I have thought of etsy. But have you ever done a search for chainmaille on etsy? There are soo many out there. I am not sure how to explain my product in a colorful way to get people to see me.
So, I am back to the drawing board... trying to figure out how to make this work. If I don't have something crafty to keep me busy, I just don't seem happy.
Look what we get to do!
I recently got an order for a department at a local college. In white vinyl, they wanted 5inch letters in Times New Roman to say "Look what we get to do!" I didn't understand the meaning behind this until I went to hang it on their window in the school. It seems that there is a woman in the department who has just recently beaten breast cancer. It derived from her telling people... "Look what I get to do!" From sharpening pencils, to cleaning toilets... she did each task with pride because having cancer sucks... but she beat it. And now look what she can do!
It think it is fabulous that the department developed her saying as their yearly motto. Such a small saying means so much. I did my best to hang it as straight as possible on their window in the office (along with some of her coworkers) and I was told that she was on her way into the office from the parking lot. I got it hung before she got into the building and she beamed when she saw it. She hugged me and told me that she loved it.
What a great feeling. I love making people happy with my vinyl work.
