Hello readers and fans! So what am I working on in December? Well I just started on a new storefront based marketplace called Fourthwall. They have partnered with a fantastic company I have been in contact with called knitwise that runs print on demand knitting machines and does four color yarn sweaters. Well fourthwall automated their conversion process so it is virtually painless to design their four color items with your own artwork. Priced at around 60$ a pieces these items look durable and turn a good profit. I am excited to make these for my fourthwall store at https://cindy-boyd-shop.fourthwall.com/.
In other news one of my shops closed. Vida, the one with magnificent scarfs. They are no more. very few sales on there, but I loved the one scarf I ordered.
Also, I have begun to design on Threadless again. Another storefront based marketplace. Here is a link to their famed skateboards wich sold so well as I beta tested their shopify integratioin last year https://bluedaisy66.threadless.com/accessories/skateboard/deck-only. They also sell em with wheels, look under accessories in my Blue Daisy 66 Shop menu
Why might you ask, was this named Blue Daisy 66. Well blue daisy in keeping with my current theme and the first DSLR flower photograph I printed and I think sold off the first batch of DSLR photographs I ever took on manual settings. The 66 is for the time i found myself on the Andy divine highway somewhere in arizona when I was trying to get out to get some pictures of the grand canyon a few years back. It rained and I was stuck at a motel. But I had discovered I was on old rte 66. a place I had always wanted to go out west.. so I have walked that ribbon of highway.. a little.
I am now on page 14 of I think 40 of updating the phonecases to iphone 15. There is just no quick way to do it. The pixels product offers a given design in every iphone iteration since 6, through 15 and I haven't run an update in three iphones so it HAS to be done.
Looking forward to designing more on Gooten, the fuji film POD shopify partner and Printify, the massive germany based shopify friendly POD. Printify really has added a lot of good products.
Art Of Where continues to be on my mind for adding merch for the 1960s travel journals which I plan to start back up blogging in January.
Pixels/ FineARt America continues to be my go to.. for new image introduction and I am updating the phone cases now, but look for new kaleidoscopes, abstracts, and travel journal images as well as raw flower photography coming to the store. By the way, all of those last four are being added as I update phone cases as digital image downloads. Full res at about a 16x20 inprint on paper, these digital images can be used in a myriad of ways. Like share and explore. Your download will become available as a link on the checkout page.
Thanks for reading and explore the sites i have made available for my fans! Have a happy Holidays and Merry Xmas.
Oh I almost forgot, Zazzle, the virtual master of POD due to its age and massive following has decided to not bring back quick create tools and I am seriously reorganzing my stores. Thousands of products are dissapearing daily and I must delete them and still create new ones. I've come up with a plan as the items time out (i think we get 18 mos before a product gets hidden now). i delete them and eventually i will be back down to just a couple stores to keep up with. It is worth a look to check out my zazzle stores now though as there are some fantastic items i will probably never take the time to design again. Right now I am focusing on Zazzle's new products as they come out so as to not get lost. For the month of December I am working on mostly Metal Lunch Boxes. Check em out.
