I'm adding a Women's Artisans section to my links page. I think it would be fun to be able to click and shop from this site.

So far I have Meredith's jewelry, I'm checking to see if Thistle has anything to sell from her farm, a woman who paints artsy, crafty items, one who sells note cards and is introducing a line of household items, a gal who makes purses, and a woman who sells vases.

Can any of you recommend friend's sites?

Thank you!

Does this include people who have books to sell?

No, they are under women writers.

This section will be for arts and crafts. [Wink]

I don't have a site although I should because I have Antique costume jewelry for sale as well as really flashy hand made fishing lures that have been water tested. They go for $20.00 each and are guaranteed to catch fish. The jewelry varies in price and are haggling items. [Big Grin]

Hi,
Does anyone have any advice, information on how to set up a website for the technically challenged?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I am thinking about this and I am sure others out there are too.
Thanks,
Maggie

Maggie,
I used Network Solutions but it isn't easy to navigate or use unless you have some computer experience. Are you saying you are a novice? I'm asking because if so, then you might want to think about these FREE web site thingys out there, and a lot of people use them...I think Tripod is one...I'm sure the ladies here can jump in and tell of others.

Also, I don't know how easy or hard they are to use; however, it seems that the blog's might be the way to go if you are just wanting to "do a test drive?" Now if you are all the bells and whistles, then I would think about doing something besides a blog. Am I right about this girls? I'm not even sure about that! ha! I need to leave the advice to someone who knows, do I not?

Anybody here used the tripod or one of those other ones? Do they walk you thru it? Are they easy? hard?

I'm not much help in this area because I didn't do mine. BLogs are mainly for writing, aren't they? I think Maggie wants to sell her arts and crafts. Is that right Maggie?

We need to get Meredith and Vicki in here. They sell merchandise from their sites.

Thanks,

Re websites: I sell at about a zillion craft fairs and know tons of women artisans, many of whom I'm sure have websites. How many do you want? Are we limiting this to boomer women artists?

Meredith, I'll review the sites and pick. I want a wide variety. I don't want several jewelers unless their styles are very different. Same with other categories of art. I'd like a little bit of everything. How's that?

Hi Dots - yes, I've got 100% virgin wool (the wool not the ewes! haha) blankets and yarn, cards, book marks, etc.

I'll visit your site and find out what I need to do to be included.

Much grass. I appreciate the opportunity.

BTW, a friend is updating my website and will include Boomer Women.

Ellie,
If you will go to the homepage (http://www.boomerwomenspeak.com) and click on "links" you will see a list of things. The artisan's link is in this list.

Hello, I am new to this womens group. A wonderful friend Patricia sent me here so I could meet other women and share stories and interesting ideas with them. I wanted to tell you about my websites since Christmas is getting close. Those of you wanting to add artists sites to your home pages, I would be honored if you could add mine:
http://www.members.cox.net/rshiever/anne.htm and http://www.geocities.com/anneshiever/

Thanks for welcoming me to your group. When my son updates my personal website, I will add you to my favorites page, too with your permission of course.

Lovingly
Anne

Welcome Anne! Welcome!

I too visited your site and loved the jewelry there. I wish the pic's were a tad larger for these poor old eyes of mine though.

I hope you enjoy your stay here and I'm with Ms D, tell us more about yourself, won't you?

So glad you've joined!

JJ

Thanks chatty. Now don't you wonder who put a site like that together? IT's just a matter of doing research on a specific topic and then getting it all on one page. Cool.

This lady has started making pins from her art work. They are beautiful. If there's not up on her site, then check back soon.
All her designs are done from her original watercolors.

Hi Diane, I went to the site but I don't understand what you are asking. I have watercolors to sell. And I facilitate a journal writing workshop. Maybe I should know more about the journals that are mentioned so I can let attendees know. LLL
