"All of these items are beautiful, unique, and handmade with love. But something else they have in common, is that their color is not in the spectrum. The human mind completes the missing link in the color wheel by mixing red and blue. "So, what does it matter," you ask? Try photographing it! That link is lost in translation, showing in photos more red or more blue. Kudos to those who pin down purple, for it is a finicky and elusive thing."</div>

REALLY???We've all seen those ads. "No payments for a 90 days" it says, or even "FOR A FULL YEAR" in big bold letters. How many times do the store clerks assure us that we can take that shiny new car, or that big screen TV home, and we don't even have to pay for it for a whole year? And after that ... well you just pay it off in easy monthly installments. <br />

Not so fast. <br />
<br />
Most of the time, what they mean when they say "no payments" is simply that.... you don't pay them. However, and this is a big HOWEVER... in most cases your interest continues to accumulate for the year. The fine print can make all the difference. <br />
<br />
Say you bought a TV for $500. One year later, you owe the store not $500 but $640.35, because the interest of 25% has been quietly accumulating in the background for the whole year, and was added on month after month. Some deals have "promotional periods", where, for example, you could pay in full within 12 months, and you would only pay the original $500. But in many deals, this is not the case. You don't have to pay for a year, but the interest keeps adding up througout the year. You really have to read the fine print very carefully to see what you are signing up for. <br />
<br />
So how did I come up with $640.35 due at the end of the first year? If the interest rate was 25%, and your purchase was for $500, the interest should only be $125, for a total of $625, right? Well, unfortunately, no. <br />
<br />
The 25% interest rate is called the nominal interest rate. This is what lenders are forced to disclose to you by law. But behind the scenes there is something else called the effective interest rate, and that is usually higher because the rate could be compounded more frequently than yearly. We won't go into the gory details but here's a tip. If the fine print says the interest is compounded daily or monthly or whatever.... really, anything *but* yearly... it means that what you pay will be higher than the nominal interest rate. More frequent = worse, i.e. daily is worst, weekly is a bit better, monthly even better etc. <br />
<br />
So in this case, your $500 purchase, at the end of the year, will cost you $640.35. If you don't pay it all of, it will continue to incur interest, and depending on how long you take to pay it all off, you could end up paying a heck of a lot more than the original $500. <br />
<br />
So the bottomline is this. IF you sign up for a deal like this, read the fine print carefully and ask lots of questions. Or, better still ... you know it :-) ... don't sign up for these deals.YourTimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10072928683457699693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125555235923277123.post-28403836177001269692012-02-02T10:00:00.000-06:002012-02-02T10:00:06.046-06:00Clearly Beautiful<style>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is always the reaction I get from my friends and family when they are the lucky recipients of a bar of handmade soap. And that's not surprising. No one else I know in real life (ArtFire and Etsy friends aside) makes soap, or even thought about making soap, or heck, even knew that some people still make soap by hand in this day and age, and that yes anyone can buy handmade soap and enjoy its many benefits. In fact, just a few years back I did not know about handmade soap either. I'd buy a bar or two at places like Pier 1 or TJ Maxx, all made in exotic foreign countries and love the soap, but I never actually thought of making it myself until a few years back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XmTDFZNbZdc/TwHr6ln6i0I/AAAAAAAAACI/VQH8rG8bB1E/s1600/DSC00147.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XmTDFZNbZdc/TwHr6ln6i0I/AAAAAAAAACI/VQH8rG8bB1E/s320/DSC00147.JPG" width="319" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why would you want to use handmade soap, whether you make it yourself or have your favorite soaper make it for you? Well there are many reasons. Commercial soap has a whole bunch of chemicals, whose job is not to do anything wonderful for your skin, but to make the soap cheaper to manufacture, or longer lasting when it languishes on the warehouse shelves etc. It was all about what was good for the soap makers not for the customers. Handmade soap gets around this problem by simply using oils and butters to saponify (a technical term meaning "turn to soap") and form soap. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Eliminating icky stuff is one part of the equation, and the second part of it is adding the good stuff! Small businesses making soap can add in a whole range of skin friendly ingredients which would be too expensive or too difficult for commercial manufacturers to use. You will find a lot of soaps with botanicals such as rose buds, mint leaves, apricot seeds, calendula flowers, walnut shells etc. Or soaps will use various types of sugars or salts or french clays, or exotic butters like mango butter, apricot butter, or other soothing ingredients like aloe vera, oatmeal etc. The possibilities are endless!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then there is a whole world of scents, colors, shapes and designs. After "you made that????" the next thing people say to me when they get soap from me, is "oh this smells so good!!". Soap can be molded, shaped, cut, carved, colored or painted, and many handmade soaps are little works of art. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So coming back to the subject at hand, how to make soap, let's talk about the 4 basic kinds of handmade soap. There are glycerin soaps, cold process soaps, hot process soaps and french milled soaps. I make and use all 4 kinds, and love each of them for different reasons. I will write in detail about each of these, but here's the basic info on each: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) Glycerin soap: This soap is made using bases sold by bath and body suppliers and is also called melt and pour soap. This soap is wonderful for artistic soapers, because it lends itself to intricate designs, shapes, sizes, colors and special effects, and makes for very beautiful soaps. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2) Cold process soap: This type of soap making starts with oils and butters of your choice, which are mixed in specific proportions and combined with sodium hydroxide at specific temperature to saponify. This soap has to set for 4 to 6 weeks, give or take a few based on the recipe, to form usable soap. This soap is an excellent choice to make smooth and silky soaps from scratch, and to make soaps for specific purposes, such as acne soap, or winter skin soap. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3) Hot process soap: This soap is somewhat similar to cold process soap, in terms of the initial part of the process with combining oils and butters and sodium hydroxide. Instead of curing for weeks, this soap is cooked to hasten the process. This method produces rustic looking soap, and is the closest method to the days of old when soap was made in a large vat over the fire. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4) French milled soap: This soap is made by taking cold or hot process soap, and further working it by grating and cooking. This method allows you to add delicate additives to the soap which will not withstand any other soap making method, and produces an exceptionally mild bar of soap. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will write more about each type of soap in the future! Let me know if you have any questions. </div>

About a year back I wrote about my experiences with both and the pros and cons of each site as I see them. Today, as another busy holiday season draws to a close ..... here's where I am. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhUlIyiofdtKSKQNrvpF0wxdPPuwYB7YSu7_Y62QvFDYTECAwDJM3ZBoXt2SYnfU9uvzBCAfA09gClvUt0ODcv3rV3voVKi3ihS2Qv4Cuy-Ux2pe6wOGj0exooTxjKF9c762MbSlhfbwT1/s1600/Collage_Blog1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhUlIyiofdtKSKQNrvpF0wxdPPuwYB7YSu7_Y62QvFDYTECAwDJM3ZBoXt2SYnfU9uvzBCAfA09gClvUt0ODcv3rV3voVKi3ihS2Qv4Cuy-Ux2pe6wOGj0exooTxjKF9c762MbSlhfbwT1/s200/Collage_Blog1.jpg" width="200" /></a>First, regarding Etsy. Etsy has gone through a lot of changes in the past few months. For someone who loves the social interaction, their changes with the team structure is probably one important change. From a purely business perspective here are some of the changes I noticed. <br />
<br />
Benefits I see on Etsy:<br />
<br />
1) Relevancy search: At last the relisting game is not the only way to be seen. Thank goodness. <br />
<br />
2) Better organization within the seller portal: The listing process has been simplified, and so have many of the more mundane aspects of keeping your shop updated. (Maybe a result of hiring the greasemonkey dude? Although I believe he was hired on the QA side and not the SW Dev. Maybe the CEO change? Maybe Jupiter transits conjunct Sun while square Neptune?)<br />
<br />
The site still places more importance on the seller profile, real names, circles, hearts etc. than on the actual ecommerce aspects, so nothing much has changed there. The message seems to be more about connecting with like minded people, oohing and aahing over the same things, sharing experiences, and maybe, just maybe, buying or selling too. Which, like all things, works very well for some people, and not all that well for others. <br />
<br />
Now for ArtFire. ArtFire has been continuing its focus on search engine optimization. This, coupled with the fact that anyone can buy on ArtFire without having to join the site, make it much more of a mainstream shopping channel. Two important changes ArtFire made recently, were to eliminate the free accounts and to separate out all commercial items into their own section. Both seem to have helped with greater visibility for the site. <br />
<br />
<br />
Benefits I see on ArtFire: <br />
<br />
1) Tools, tools, tools: The tools are terrific. I tend to be rather prolific, so I always have lots of items in my shop. With just a few strokes I can make changes to the entire shop, or a few sections, or a handful of items across many sections... if you can dream it up, you can do it with just a few keystrokes. I can add tags, promotions, change prices or shipping, add or remove sales, apply coupons etc. etc. with abandon. Taking about coupons, I know E allows coupons too, but nothing like what ArtFire has. You can take percentages or dollars off, specify the minimums, the caps, add a free gift with purchase, free shipping and a myriad of other things, again with just a couple of keystrokes. <br />
<br />
2) Complete customization: You get to choose colors, fonts, layouts and all sorts of cool stuff, in addition to your banner, which you can choose to either display on the product pages or not. If you are more ambitious, you can add widgets to do pretty much whatever you want on the pages. <br />
<br />
3) Much better listing experience: This is one of my favorites. You can have up to 10 pics for each listing. You can specify any promos in a variety of ways. If you choose to submit to google shopping, you know whether something did go thro or not, and if not, why not. You can even include any google forbidden words like "free" in a special section of the listing which is not submitted to google shopping. I love how easy it is to write copy that brings in buyers from search engines. <br />
<br />
<br />
The bottomline for me is this: <br />
<br />
If your products are cheaper, or more unusual, or edgy or hip etc. etc. and are targeted towards younger people, or for people with specific interests, and you want to only list a handful of items once in a while, don't want too much commitment, or just do this for fun, go for Etsy. You can just list for 20 cents a pop, never renew, and leave them up for 4 months. If they sell, you pay Etsy 3.5% of the price as their commission. <br />
<br />
If your products are a bit more high end, or if your products are more mainstream, or if you have lots of products, targeted towards people with money ;-), go for ArtFire. You can list as many items as you want for one low monthly fee, and that is it, you don't pay ArtFire any other commission. This is also a great option for people who want to know exactly how much they will spend, so that they can budget for it, because you pay the same fee to ArtFire month over month. If your time is valuable you should consider ArtFire, because of all the great tools which really cut down on your shop maintenance time and give you time for what you *really* want to do - CREATE!!<br />
<br />
The most important thing to keep in mind is that ArtFire and Etsy are totally different. What will work on one does NOT work on the other. Once you treat each of them as totally unique venues, and you will do fine :-). <br />

<br />
<strong>HOW WILL I PAY FOR ALL THIS???</strong><br />
<br />
OK now take a deep breath. :-) The best way to handle this is to not get into this situation to begin with, but that's usually easier said than done. More on that later. For now, let's first assess the damage! <br />
<br />
I know you get the credit cards in the mail sometime in Jan anyway, but I like to be prepared for the hit before it comes. So I collect all of my credit cards, and go online for each to check what the Dec bill will be for each. You can call their toll free number too. I write down the total amount, the minimum payment and the interest percentage that we'll will pay for each card. Then check your bank balance to see how much you can start paying off. From now on, the math is simple. Add up all the minimum payments, and make sure you have enough to cover those first. After that, see how much you have left. Use that money to start paying down the credit card with the highest interest rate. This way, even if you have to pay interest, at least you are paying on the cards with the lower interest rates. <br />
<br />
I like to plan so that all these cards are paid off by, say April or May. Oh and not add anything else on them while I am paying them off. If I am all caught up by May, I put aside the same amount of money that I was sending for credit card payment, into a holiday fund. That way, I can save money for 6 months, before next Nov, when the holiday sales will be on again, and I can spend all of that for the holidays for next year! AND hopefully avoid overusing credit cards next year ;-). <br />
<br />
<br />
As creative people we also have the obvious solution - make it yourself! DIY is a great idea for making holiday presents. The issue is usually time, not skill. By the time the holidays draw close, there are so many other things to do that there is just not enough time to make holiday presents. So one of the changes in 2012 will be to make holiday presents throughout the year, so that time is no longer an issue!<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you do? What's your plan for paying off your holiday expenses or to save for the next holiday season?YourTimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10072928683457699693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125555235923277123.post-52701236510825972892012-01-02T18:45:00.000-06:002012-01-02T18:45:00.092-06:00Garnets for the January Baby on ArtFire<style>

Here's one of my new bracelets! I love the wrap style bracelets, because they can be worn by pretty much anyone, regardless of wrist size! I love the casual elegance, and the earthiness that comes with using real gemstones and leather for these bracelets too. I have a lot more of these in the works, and similar necklaces too.... so much fun!! </div>YourTimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10072928683457699693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125555235923277123.post-17482172026428934612011-12-27T18:07:00.000-06:002011-12-27T18:07:00.099-06:00Blue Gems on ArtFire<style>
