a little help needed, with some added incentive

Mon Sep 7, 2009, 7:57 AM
ive been debating about it for a while, and i think im good enough to try and set up a proper business structure for selling my items instead of telling my friends about it or having one or two random people come up to me on facebook to make an order (which is nice, but its good to have a sort of platform for selling things no?)

anyway, i need help for a very small thing (its important to me though!) and that is the name of the shop, business, whatever you want to call it. i don't want to use xian-atedstuff because it is too long and not many people know me by that anyway. i mean, you know, if i was famous and all it would be good to stick to that old name.. but oh well.

so to get to the point already, as you can guess..

i am having a contest, for choosing a name for my business/shop whatever u wanna call it.

now i don't really expect that many people to be signing up, on account of me not really being that widely known (and not many hits on my journal) so there may be so few entries that i might not find one that i like. (im kinda fussy, but please don't hit me, i just think names are special)

so, prizes prizes.. a pair of earrings or a bracelet (since i kinda need to make money i can't go giving away really expensive items, you know that) :P and i'll even make it your choice as long as the budget for materials (not including labour) is £5.

and rules.. as many entries as you like, and there isn't really an end date. i guess the end date comes when i figure out a name. so that is a nice long time. ;)

so whoever sees this, i'd be really thankful for your help. and even if i end up not using names on the list, there will be a draw (so one submission is one entry for the draw.)and a lucky somebody(s) will get something nice anyway. :D

PRIZE list you can choose from: (or they will all be prizes for the lucky draw)
~2 packets of lucky star paper
~earrings
~bracelet
~a cube of mini origami paper

Very amazing work. And from a neighbouring country too! :D where do you get 20-gauge wire? And your masks are great, they look ready to be sold. Do you use air dry clay for all of them?
:iconxian-atedstuff:
hello! thanks very much for the comments and for stopping by! :)

i get my wire from craft shops, if they sell beads and charms etc they should carry the wire. i buy the non-tarnish/tarnish resistant ones. :)

my masks are either paper mache or air dry clay; but only the paper ones have been sold. the air dry clay ones shrink a little after they dry and while they would fit comfortably on smaller faces, they are not good for wearing.

ive stopped making the paper mache masks (or masks in general actually) for a while now. i'd like to go back to making them but they are quite time consuming.
