Hiya Noel! I do Victorian Ribbonwork Roses and Flowers as well as Ribbon Embroidery. I combine them with rich-colored velvets, dupioni silks, swarovski crystals and organic lavender and rosemary...so - sachets and purses that are romantic and one of a kind.
I have been doing this sort of thing for a few years and in lieu of not being able to find a clerical position yet here on the Island, I am resorting to my artistic side and gonna just build my inventory of handbags and sachets...maybe to sell at craft fairs for Christmas and also possibly at Maku'u Market.
I saw on the news last week a website called http://www.etsy.com
It is all handmade stuff of every nature and it's free to join. They take only 3.5% of whatever you sell and it's only 20 cents each listing. It's like ebay but not as crowded and all original handmade kinda stuff. Check it out! Mahalo!
