Classes
Turns out my first teaching class was a success. All the participants wore their two necklaces out the door. I provided the supplies and students purchased their own tools, crimper and wire cutter tools. Also needed were the round and flat nose. You can see all of their happy faces on my FB page. facebook.com/raquel.amaral.…

My Craft Boutique
Creative types must create because our spirits need it for thirst. It is a daily routine for me and has been all my adult life. I remember teaching myself how to sew and did it daily. I had material stuffed in places so when I needed it I had it. I use to make all…

Got Etsy?
I’ll follow you on Etsy. I’ve had an Etsy site since March of 2008 (inactive until recently), before I was on Facebook. Before my House of Raquel website. Since I have a facebook page that I use to drive traffic to my Etsy shop, it works well together. Oh all these social sites. Are you…

Back online
You welcomed my jewelry with open arms yesterday. Thank you all so much. I really loved it. I know that you can spend your money buying any kind of jewelry and appreciate that you want to wear my designs. I realize that I need to provide my customers with a place to shop for more…

Advertise here
Where do you show off your creativity? I have this blog, a facebook page. I had a website but had no traffic. I need a marketing plan. Do I take time to post my jewelry designs on Etsy, Ebay, here? Do I depend on word of mouth? Where did you get those earrings? I really…

I’m at it again; designing jewelry with my round nose pliers and a hammer. Same designs different photos. Purple love. It’s an original design and one of a kind. Send me your email address if you want to be first to get a sneak peak.

Web or no Web
Ok I’ve had a jewelry website for a few years and got very few sales from it. Was it my designs or was it the design of my website? I’ll really never know why. I kind of think it was the check out process. I may try Etsy, my Facebook page or just here on…

Pretty in Pink
I played with clay and added pink cz’s to a few pieces. My silver pieces are finished for the day and sitting on the table drying. I’ll fire them in a few days. I’m waiting to get supplies to polish the pieces that I made two weeks ago. Once I get them polish I’ll share…

Nothing on my mind.
For a few days now I have had nothing on my mind to write about. So unusual, it is freaking me out! Where did it go? My mind that is. I feel better not speaking, my mouth is closed. I’ve started a few posts and quit after one or two sentences. I don’t know what…

Do you
Do you add your business name on your jewelry photos. I just started doing it again. I like the way it looks too. Why not advertise a little more no? Maybe it really isn’t about that either. I believe it makes the photo look more professional, don’t you think? and again with my business name……

Reiki
I’m not sure if there is a market for Reiki jewelry or if anyone else has created a line. I’m sure there must be. But I’ve been thinking about designing my own Reiki jewelry collection. I engraved the pendant, my very first try at it. I like it! I really like using my head bust…
