If anyone has time, would you please check out my website and critique it?

www.filthycutebtq.com

If you could, please let me know what browser you are using [and if you're using a desktop or laptop] and how it looks on your page. If anything looks out of place or spaced too far [such as wide margins]. Let me know if links don't work etc.

Do you think anything looks annoying to you?
Is my page easy to navigate?
Are my prices reasonable or do they need to be changed?

Do you find it weird that there is no shopping cart button to refer back to on the top?

Is it odd/useless that I have a scrolling box on the bottom that shows new items, but if you click them it just takes you to a photobucket album?

Should I link new items pictures to the page they are on to make it more convenient?

Stuff like that. Doesn't have to be too in depth though. If you have a second you can just visit and see if anything immediately stands out to you that should be corrected.

I will do the same for you and give my personal opinions if needed. :)

Thanks! ]]> Show Off! ZeeaDarling http://www.attackofthecraft.com/stage/showthread.php?t=8149 http://www.attackofthecraft.com/stage/showthread.php?t=8148&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 15:16:25 GMT Hello!
I need a lot more exposure and sales.
If anyone is willing to trade cards with me, then that would be swell!

I'll send 20 of my cards and you send me 20 of yours and we'll package each others cards with our orders. :) Well, you know how it works. haha

My website is www.filthycutebtq.com
:clickplease:

I would like the other shop(s) to be similar to mine, but have nothing the same that I do. I already have a makeup pigment seller that I traded cards with. If you think your shop would compliment items that I have and want to trade cards, drop me your link in a comment.

Let's help each other!

Thanks

So far, referral views have blown my stats way up on both the website and the Etsy store. No sales yet, but with minimal stock in the store and me being on custom hiatus for the summer I'm not surprised. I'm going to try and whip out a couple for the store this week in between crafting for Jake's birthday party to take advantage.

I really couldn't have picked a WORSE time to do this. I should have waited until the fall. Ah well. It's still exciting to see my little Ruggles on such a huge blog!

Oh and, "convertible"? Really? I don't know where she got that, but I guess it's interesting to see other people's take on your product. ]]> Whore Your Store bewhiskered http://www.attackofthecraft.com/stage/showthread.php?t=8147 http://www.attackofthecraft.com/stage/showthread.php?t=8146&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 04:47:02 GMT May 25th is Towel Day! A tribute to Douglas Adams. I whipped up some special Hitchhiker's Guide "Don't Panic" towels for the event!

They will be listed in my shop tomorrow when I can take better pics!!

It and the Nightmare on Elm Street bag were for one of Juan's co-workers as a girlfriend present.





This is a new bag style I'm working on naming:



These were from my $15 clutch sale last month:

We made his whole outfit and mask in a couple of weeks to get ready for a local convention. The convention wasn't a big deal, and we ended up getting there too late to participate in the costume contest because it took me forever to do my makeup. We literally prepared for the day up to the last minute!



We were okay with not winning anything though. We still had the glory with having our pictures taken loads of times. :)

His pants are machine sewn. I made the buttons with sculpey clay. His mask is paper mache with wire whiskers. His ears structure is made from coat hangers with faux fur covering. The bowtie is made from felt and stuffing.



My boyfriend, Daniel, made his rabbit feet by cutting out cardboard for the bigger foot shape and attaching old shoes to it. He then used some soft fleece that he sewed on the cardboard and stuffed. He did a great job! He wanted to make gloves, but we were pressed for time so he used dish washing gloves.



For Jessica I happened to find the perfect elegant dress for $12 upon walking into a thrift store. It was destiny! I slit the leg up one side and I managed to make the top have that heart shape that her dress has. It had a strap around the neck that I had to cut off. And since we were so pressed for time and the material was so hard to work with, it just ended up being hot glued into place. Unfortunately I couldn't make myself look like I had massive gravity defying boobs like Jessica when I have a cup breasts in reality. But I did use some makeup to shade.





For all the hard work we put into this, we intend to use these costumes for Halloween contests. ]]> Show Off!
