I have been getting a lot of requests from my customers lately to create a mailing list to get the word out when I have a sale, so I have created a newsletter. Its primary function will be to announce special offers and send out promo codes. You can sign up for the newsletter here, or by filling out the form on the left sidebar.
Soapylove is an Etsy shop where you will find absolutely amazing soap. From ice cream sandwich soapsicles to butterfly cameo bars, Soapylove is filled with funky and unique soap, so I was super excited when Soapylove shop owner Debbie contacted me about creating some soap based on my Ultra Modern fused glass dangle earrings. I think she did a fantastic job capturing the earrings! You can see the Dichroic Soap Bars in Debbie’s Etsy shop: soapylove.etsy.com.
Mintd, a handmade products shopping venue, has introduced an interesting affiliate feature called Lookbooks. Here’s how it works…
You buy a product on Mintd, take interesting photographs of it, and create an advertisement of the product (a Lookbook) on Mintd. When other customers find the product through your Lookbook and purchase it, you get 2.5% of the price as credit to spend at Mintd. If you earn over $100 a month, you can choose to receive it in cash.
For a more detailed explanation of the Lookbook concept, check out this thread in the Mintd forums.
I created an example Lookbook using my Mintd fused glass cabochons…
I just found out about a venue called Mintd, an Etsy-like site based in Australia, and I decided to open up a Mintd shop to check it out. I listed a few of my tester cab lots in my shop to get the lay of the land - one olive green with frit, and one woodland brown with frit. Visit my new Mintd shop and let me know what you think!
I found a fun slideshow program on rockyou.com and made a short slideshow of some of my fused glass pieces. Check it out…

All of the pieces in the slideshow are available in my Etsy store.
I passed a major milestone in my Etsy store. On Monday, I made my 1000th sale. This purple ridged dichroic fused glass pendant was the item that broke 1000. A big thank you to all of my wonderful customers!
I decided to start offering custom fused dichroic glass pendants in my Etsy store. These “create your own” pendants are available in Savoy Studios 16 most popular dichroic coatings. I will still take custom orders for all kinds of glass creations, but since these particular pendants are in such high demand, I thought I’d simplify the ordering process. Check them out here.
I used a nifty Kaboodle widget to create this collage…
