Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs; Day 3

The final day was just as informative and inspirational as the first two days. I walked away with knowledge on marketing and a better system on how I should price my products. I was really hoping to be a winner of the Meylah drawing but alas I did not. However, I did meet new people and passed out my business card.

The conference is set for San Fran in 2011. I might go, depending on cost and schedule. We'll see. Regardless, I will be revamping photos, blogging more, and marketing Trizanh to the max!

Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs; Day 2

What a hot weekend! Day two was filled with inspirational and informative workshops. The ones I attended were small but we were able to get closer and know each other better.

Desserts were cupcakes from Trophy and afterwards there was a book signing at Elliott Bay Book Company.

More ideas brewing, creative juices flowing, and a web of networking!!!

Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs; Day 1

I signed up for a three day conference that I found out about in my adventures of crafting. The Confrerence of Creative Entrepreneurs is happening right on Captiol Hill so there was no way I could not attend!

So far I've met some really cool people, local and as far as Montana. I've sat in on a lecture from a DIY Network star. I'm going to redo my product photography with new knowledge and I finally learned how to needle felt! More to come!!!

Enjoy the beautiful sun!

Seattle Square and artfire.com

In addition to the two August shows that I am participating in, I will be a reoccurring artist at the Seattle Square market that runs until the end of September. This market is new to the Seattle scene and happens every Saturday in Pioneer Square. From what I've seen on their Facebook fan page, it looks like I'll have a great time there and hopefully will make some sales. Come check me out on these dates:

July 31
August 7
August 21
September 4
September 18
September 25

Artfire.com is also a new avenue of online selling that a fellow artist suggested. Very similar to etsy.com, this up and coming site is another great place to check out handmade treasures on the web. Since I've been so busy with participating in fairs, I haven't had much time to dedicate towards my two online shops. However, upon listing my first Formal Collection bag on artfire.com, I immediately got a an email from a fan who happens to be a local chiropractor on Capitol Hill. One of his patient came in with a Formal bag and he loved the idea. He contacted me through artfire.com to request a messenger bag made from his own ties. This request reminded me that not to long ago, I met a fellow artist who requested the same item so now I have two messenger bags to design and make.

As the summer winds down, I will be in full effect making custom orders, more bags, and created new collections.

Save the date for August 29th!

August show dates

Come check out Trizanh at these art shows:

August 28 in Renton.
August 29 on Capitol Hill.

The summer is winding down so craft fairs will be far and few in between. Maybe Trizanh will resurface for the Holiday season. If not, see you all in the spring!

Bull Moose Festival

Come check me out at the Bull Moose Festival from 10-3! Live music and food. Also, the Bite of Seattle and Bon Odori is happening the same weekend. Be sure to say "hello" if you see me around, even if I'm stuffing my face with food!
