Purple Handmade Passion

Those of you who know me know I love purple. It is my favorite color. Although I do love all the colors and how we can put them together in our art and create amazing items.  

I have decided to revamp all my blogs. I have several and each one has a purpose. This blog is the blog I started out on many years ago. It has went through a lot of changes over the years. 

I decided that I wanted to try out a word press blog and I loved blogging there. So my 

Thunder Rose Blog lives there. 

Then I created my Etsy team Rainbow Artists and I loved wordpress so much that I decided to blog my team there. 

But to be honest I love blogspot too. I learned about blogging here. I guess you could say I have a little attachment to where everything started for me. In the beginning I was so worried about what to say and how to to it. But I jumped in anyway. Lucky for me everything was very user friendly. I got involved in a couple blog rings along the way , which was pretty cool.  I have learned over time that I enjoy blogging for others but I still need to promote myself. I am really grateful to Tim from Handmadeology for the treasury tool he made for us. 

Now I can blog for myself and add a really great treasury filled with my Etsy friends. How cool is that. 

I would like to suggest to all our friends that having a blog is a fantastic idea for your business. You just need to create one and let your inspiration flow. Start slow and you will more than likely end up loving it. One thing to remember is pictures don't really search but text does. So always remember to do a write up of some kind with great keywords so you will get found by just the right people in search.

On one of my favorite teams and I have several favs. On Fire For Handmade is one I have been on for along time and now am a leader on. It has grown so much and is a wonderful team. This week we are celebrating the color purple so I found some really fantastic items in purple just for you. 

First of all I am going to show you one of my purple leather bags then a a wide variety of beautiful handmade items like purple beaded jewelry, unique purple lamps, purple home decor, purple hats , purple cards and so much more.

Today is Saturday Jan 12, 2013. I decided to do something different with my blog. Everyday I work hard making beautiful handmade items for people all over the world. Living outside of Sedona Arizona and having done many art shows and being in different galleries in the past,  John and I have sold our buckskin leather bags all over the world. 

Our business Thunder Rose started with a prayer one day. I started beading a few years before creating with leather. I was always looking for my nitch in crafts. Then one day while at a friends house I was introduced to beading. Well, I became addicted to beads . I started making earrings and I just went on to wanting to learn more.

Being a back to the land hippie with a love for Mother Earth and all things spiritual, I grew in my Art. The beads lead us to buckskins. John became interested in developing designs for our handbags, and all the other items you see us make. He is so good at creating new designs for our leather bags.

We are so grateful to all of our wonderful customers over the past 25 years for helping us slowly build a business that works. We are on a slow and steady path on all levels. It just works best. 

When we finally decided to go online, it was so exciting. We had no idea about the internet. We bought ourselves a small used laptop and walla here we are today. We built our first website

thunderroseleather.com 

It took us awhile but we slowly figured it out.

Then we found Etsy!

thunderrose.etsy.com 

What a great find that was for our business.  

We are always looking for new places to sell our handmade wearable items. We were looking around  and found

Handemade Artist's 

Another really great selling site.

Then about one month ago we found 

Goodsmiths

Goodsmiths.com thunderroseleather 

Since being on line, on all these different venues I have made some great internet friends. I have gotten involved in different blog rings and teams. People helping people! 

I'm still learning about all of this and opening up to be able to write my thoughts and share whats on my mind. To me it all takes time. 

I really enjoy being able to feature other artists. I am pretty simple about it all because that is how my mind works. My heart feels happy when I can make a difference. It's all in the doing.

This is the starting point for my first Thunder Rose Leather Newsletter. 

I hope you enjoyed reading my post. I would love to read your comments.  

Love, light and peace!
