Vintage Design Hemp Jewelry


Saturday, 10 December 2011

 This 1 year stuff for this girl is almost at an end!   Come February   Funkii Hemp Designs will have been around for a whole year. Awsome!  I definatly have learned alot about running a business . Networking,  How important the internet is for selling items,  what people like and don't like etc.  Its been a great year. I am guessing I have probly made over 2 thousand  items  since I have  started and am thrilled that there are people out there wearing  the designs and items I have made.   I have so many ideas for the coming year and hoplefully, fingers crossed  am more knowledgable and prepared for  the  events and days to come.

 This Christmas season has been exciting and busy . I did two christmas craft bazaars,  on St Patricks Christmas craft  show and The Westerner Christmas craft Bazzar.  Both events were not very successful as not many people attended. Not to sure why.   Something I learned is that alot of these events don't target  alot of the people who love hemp jewelry.  There were a few there though.  It wasn't a total waste of time though. I met a lot of great people and also did some networking.

I wish you all a happy  and merry Christmas. Be blessed this holiday season.

Purple trees and pink squirrels ! !!

       Purple trees?  pink squirrels?  all signs of an imagination. When we are  creative, we can make  our world look like anything we like. The people who come and say Trees aren't purple! squirrels aren't pink, well they just don't understand.
When  we choose to be creative, our world can look like anything it wants to look like!  The people who choose to break the molds set on life are the ones who succeed at being a successful artist. This is because they find new  ideas and  new inventions.
I meet alot of people who say they aren't creative. I try to tell them that  I believe everyone is creative in one way or anther, they just have to find their creativity. Perhaps the people who  say they aren't creative are the ones  who were told  as a child that  trees aren't purple and squirrels defiantly cannot  be pink!  I think these people need to sit back and  take a breathe.  They need to  crab a box of crayons and  just let their imagination flow. Drawing whatever comes to mind. Shut off the voices that  scream " that is wrong" and  only listen to  the voice that says " this is  fun" " i am going to do whatever I feel like" 


  If you look back throughout time, the people  who created anything great in this world were people who broke the rules. Honestly, before there was  a light bulb who would have  beleived their could be a lightbulb.
 Before a man went to the moon, People would  have thought the person with that idea was  crazy..
 Also, the internet....  Who'd have beleived that we could talk  with people all over the world through something called a computer  before a computer was  even invented?  So, follow your dreams. Don't listen to the people who tell you they are impossible.  Create your pink squirrels and purple trees  that live in your heart and soul .

and...

    Have fun !!

Hemp

Style wrapping  around your very essence ,portraying who you are .    When  people look your way, the style vibrates , creating a momment. and only that momment will exist in this lifetime.  That momment between the style and the world. Between the style and those  you  care to share it with.
The vibration between your soul and anothers can be created  by  what you decide to wear that day. The colours, the designs. Why?  Becasue  our styles depict who we are.  They tell the world how we are feeling, what  we are thinking,

Hemp Jewlry and Kareoke ....


Last night was friday night,  I decided to go  try to sell some of my designs  at the kareokee night at a local pub. I used to do this all the time and havnt  for  quite awhile.  It was a lot of fun. People liked my jewelry. I doubt I will do this to often even though it  was a great night. Hanging out with friends, singing  great tunes and showing  people  what I've made. Oh, I sang zombie by the Cranberries,  Were not gonna take it  by Twisted Sister and   some Joan Jett song. It was a great night.

Pottery !!

So I decided to start making my  own beads and pendants. I've taken  one course of pottery  before but a long time ago. Its definatly a  learning process.  It is a lot of  fun though.
    Making my own beads and pendants out of clay means I can make a more specified  "custom" Design.

Last day at the Red Deer farmers market

Yesterday was the last day  of the Red Deer farmers market.  It was an awsome day, freezing, but  great!   Despite the  zereo tempature many people showed up and it was a buisy day. 
 This was my very first time  having a booth in a market. I have to say I learned a lot and enjoyed it very much. Definatly wil lbe  back next  season.... Which  i beleive  is in May.

Here are some photos  of  some of the booths in the area and some of the items they make

This booth was my neighbor,  I had many yummy elephant ears over the summer from this booth.
