Online auction going on on my fanpage

Yea you heard Right. Krista Marie Designs is hosting an online auction supporting some other home based businesses that hand make items as well. It's always great to help fellow artisans. And of course I have items in my auction as well. So come see the auction photo album on my fanpage and all you do is read the item description the starting bid price and bid increment and go from there. The auction ends the 12th at midnight and you must have a PayPal account. This is the best way for the sellers to finish transactions. So good luck to everyone and happy bidding.

Happy fashion and thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the support, feedback and customers.

Krista Marie

Shop in USA, Canada and Europe

I have taken what I love and expanded : ) I am beyond happy for making this decision. As you all may know, or even if you dont, I handmake one of a kind jewelry from my very own two hands. Everything I make is of great quality but a very affordable price, most items are one of a kind meaning if you buy it you will be the only one with that item so that's a fashion statement in itself. My items are affordable in today's economy for all the ladies who who still want to look great for the our self being. Fashion will always be a part of our lives and I love expressing it. So come with me and share my love for fashion. I have always shipped nationwide in the USA but I have now added Canada and Europe. So happy shopping and have fun being glamorous at prices you will love.

No longer Kasha Designs but same great products

I have taken some time off to clear up some things in my life and business. I have chosen to get away from the name Kasha Designs and go with something that speaks more of me. Krista Marie Designs, I started Kasha with a friend and it just did not work out as I was doing all of the work anyway. With Krista Marie Designs, I am still designing what I love but there has been some add ons. I started designing and up cycling shoes, I just got a new dress form and making my own clothing line, once I become better at it I can take orders and will most likely be able to work with sizes 6-14. Jewelry is still selling on my fanpage which the link is still http://www.facebook.com/kashadesigns I would just hate to change everything after getting all my fans etc but the title is Krista Marie Designs. I am setting up a new online store I hope to have up by this weekend if not the start of next week. I am in the process of  building a portfolio as well for the Academy of Art University in San Fransisco, a very prestigious art school I hope to attend to get my bachelors in fashion design. So I just wanted to share with all of you what was going on and I'm happy to still be doing what I love and adding on to it. Here are some pictures of the new items I have made. Right now prices are listed on the fanpage and I can use paypal if anyone would like to order anything. Thank you for the love and support... Here's to the future.

 My first dress I made on my new dress form.

 New designs beaded charm ring. I plan on making lots of these. $6

Personally designing/upcycling shoes

With my love of fashion i have decided to come across in adding something amazing to Kasha Designs. Iam up cycling my old shoes or shoes I can get a hold of. So yeah  you can say a shoe designer. One of a kind and a friend has even asked me to upcycle a pair of her old not so pretty shoes anymore. This is going to be so much fun as I can design an outfit with shoes and accessories and have a fully complete line now. This was the first part and they turned out great. I can not wait to get started with even more.

This is the shoe before. I have had these for some time and they were just too bland for me. Also the other shoe the strap broke and I did not just want to get rid of them.

After. My mind and hands went to work and I got this now vamped up wedge. All fabric was from what I had laying in my sewing room and rhinestones add some bling to it. I really love them and will look great this spring and summer.

 Not bad for my first attempt. I'm excited to do more and will be doing themed shoes as well. I may be doing a Nicki Minaj or Katy Perry inspired shoe : ) Every so often I'll find something themed to design the shoe around.

Sorry for the delay NEW FACEBOOK FANPAGE!!

Wow have I missed out on some blogging... not like me. Very very sorry I've been MIA. I started up some new classes. I go to University of Phoenix and there were consuming me for some time.. but I did manage to get some new crafts done that I absolutely love. I'll have to show you a few.

 What I am ever so excited about is that I have officially been revamping the facebook fanpage for Kasha Designs which you can just find it under search and type in Kasha Designs or you can follow this link ; )       

https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Kasha-Designs/203336493022276            


I am in the middle of adding pictures as of right now, it was all over the place before and I think this structure is way better. Facebook is a little slow because I've been doing this since 11 this morning... yuck... but till then I will show you some items I have new and of course so much more on the way!!

 (DROP LEAF EARRING WITH RED FIRE POLISHED BEADS)

 (HAND COILED PINK AND BLACK ARTISTIC WIRE....thank you Coiling Gizmo)

Zibbet vs. Etsy

So finally I looked into this semi new handmade craft selling page similar to Etsy and I'm giving it a try.
Zibbet is the site (www.zibbet.com) just like anywhere you sell it takes time to get a customer base and it takes self promotion and interacting in the groups and forums. This goes for Etsy and Zibbet.
For Zibbet, the good I found, free posting of items to sell, you can link your Etsy account to you Zibbet. That's very nice of them : )
For Zibbet, the not so good I found, if you want to have unlimited amount of items you can post to sell you have to pay for a account. Like a monthly fee, you still get 50 spots to post under a free account but many of us have way more than 50 items. Zibbet isn't as well known but it's in the rising if more of us let the world know about it. If you have more than one item of that one product you can't type in more than one quantity unless you have a paid account. I have just typed in the bottom of the description if I have more.
Now many of us know Etsy and how it works but I'll still go over it.
The good, it has great groups to meet people, learn new tips, self promote and to walk you through dos and don'ts and good etsy selling. Many people have turned etsy into their full time job so you can become successful.
There are a lot of jewelry selling so it can be difficult to gain jewelry sales , you have to pay 20cents per posting wich is not bad but if you are already hard on money that can become difficult. That starts to add up.

As a whole both places have great potential of anyone being successful. It just takes time, patience and you have to work at it just like anything else. I've had my first sell on Etsy after 1 month so I'm okay with that. I'll keep you posted on how Zibbet turns out.
