• Sales @ Ten Weeks (two new tshirt sales!!)

  ___ / FIRST BIT OF NEWS / ___ I sold two tees Yay (one last night and one this morning!!!!!) Two Latest Designs sold (with many thanx) to beautiful fellow bubblebees Firstly, last night some time Liesl Yvette Wilson an aussie artist living in London who does gorgeous children’s illustrations (please pay her a visit !!) purchased my latest Kokeshi Doll Autumn TShirt: ...and NEXTLY, SalsBells69 a fellow bubblebee and wonderful photographer from Australia, purchased my other latest tee design Fantasy Island Retro TShirt: I have been really down lately, and these two sales have boosted my spirits enormously, a very big thank you to my two special buyers Leisl and Sal :) thanx guys! _________ NEX BIT OF NEWS * ( / i see you’re still here, thanx so much for hangin’ round for next bit) / ________ Hi fellow bubblebees, I joined red bubble community on or around about the 7th February 2008 (near on 10 weeks ago) i think :) i never know what today’s date is even tho it’s apparently right here on my computer screen…i am really a computer illiterate in many many ways (sh don’t tell anyone that lol) – my friend frozenfa knows this only too well :) Just me with a special update…for a while now I’ve ummed and ahhhed as to whether to share or not about sales and figures…when i first started bubbling i was so excited i couldn’t help but share good news…but as time’s gone by, I’ve noticed the ups and downs emotionally that we all go through over the good and bad times. I think all of us struggle terribly when no-one’s buying our work, and I’ve had an immense struggle with it myself. When no-one’s buying you think, okay, it’s all over bar the shout, i’m finished, i’m washed up, i wanna get out of this cruel game which is a roller coaster ride to say the least I’ve watched friends many times feel despairing, and I know that feeling so well. So sometimes sharing about sales and views can crush someone else’s spirit, or it can spur them on to become more and more determined to win the big prize :) I feel seeing someone else’s success does both these things to me. I’m not sure how the rest of you are going with your sales and progress, i’m told some even make close to a living from selling their work here…...I’m far from that goal ….. but we must continue to encourage one another all the more if some are feeling low and flailing, there are so many wonderful artists here, and i see they have no comments on their work, or just one and i wonder why is that? I have been so encouraged by this wonderful community and the warm sentiments fill my heart with joy and put a spring in my step, i can assure you all of that :) and I wanted to say thank you to everyone for being like, my extended family of brothers and sisters :) Anyway, I’ve been keeping quiet about sales and views for a while…..i wonder whether if you’re doing well..people will drop you off their watchlist….or if you’re doing not so well, people let you go anyway, i really don’t know…. But i try to be honest about who i am, so i’ve decided to lay it on the table today….and here are my stats :) Ten Weeks on Red Bubble art views 25,045 / clothing views 7,350 card sales 25 / tshirt sales 12 / _print sales _ 1 total sales* 38 translated $$$’s $163.48 ________ FINALE _ (if you’re still awake and stuck with me til this / point, i must applaud and congratulate and send you / big hugs and thanx :)_ ________ I’ve been very busy lately, as i was commissioned by some folks in United States to create some designs for a business proposal…don’t think i can say much more than that…but stay tuned as it could turn into something big….and that would be very cool :) thanks for listening to my guff everyone, love yas all :) big hugs from Karin xo

  I’m not big on words, and to be honest reading endless forum threads just bores me. A quote I saw the other day is very relevant, I think “Saturation of information is the enemy of knowledge” and I think that basically sums up my thoughts on the matter. I look for the things that interest me, go straight to the heart of what I’m after, look up tutorials, and start doing. Here’s a link to the latest entry in the Seascapes Forum, which explains a little more about how to sell your work, I find it illuminating, since I’ve never been very good at promoting myself or my work. Bubblemail me if you’d like to be a “featured artist” and which photo you’d like to have included and why. Bubblemail me if you’ve got any suggestions you’d like to keep secret for the moment, Please leave comments here or in the forum if you’d like to get feedback on your work or the Group.

  This beautiful mele is one of my favourites and I love the gentle power of his angelic voice!! It is the beautiful Maunaleo Mele Keali’i composed for his beloved Mother, Lei, and the one I included on my signature image I created with deepest respect and appreciation for Keali’i Reichel ~ Darkly, deeply, beautifully blue! / Aloha! Sharon Maunaleo ~ Journey With Spirit ~ This is one of my signature pieces, a composite of seven of my images blended into one using photographs I have taken on the lava seacliffs of Wa’ianapanapa Maui Hawai’i and a full moon in Fairbanks Alaska. Maunaleo ~ Journey With Spirit is dedicated with deepest respect and appreciation for Keali’i Reichel. Carleton Lewis Keali’inaniaimokuokalani Reichel (born 1962) popularly known as Keali’i Reichel, is a popular and bestselling singer, songwriter, choreographer, dancer, chanter, scholar, teacher, and personality from the State of Hawai’i. He has spent his life educating the world about Hawaiian culture through music and dance. Maunaleo is one of his most beautiful songs and one of my favourites! / Lyrics Source: Keali`i Reichel album “Melelana” Copyright 1999 Punahele, Inc. – “Composed for Keali`i’s mother Lei, she is compared to the majestic sentinel mountain, Maunaleo, who guards, comforts, nourishes and loves her people. Mälie is the gentle wind of the area. ~ Maunaleo – Words by Keali`i Reichel & Puakea Nogelemeier, Music by Keali`i Reichel ~ “He aloha nö `o Maunaleo / I lohia e ke kilihuna / Kohu `ahu`ao no ka uka / He kamalani kamaehu kau i ka hanoë / He kamalei, kamahiwa pä i ka lani ë / ka lani ë He aloha nö `o Maunaleo / I lohia e ke kilihuna / Kohu `ahu`ao no ka uka / He kamalani kamaehu kau i ka hanoë / He kamalei, kamahiwa pä i ka lani ë / ka lani ë Po`ohina i ka `ohu kolo / Kahiko no ka poli `olu / Apo `ia e nä kualono / He hi`ina, hi`ialo, alohaë / Hi`ipoli, hi`ilei, hi`ilanië / ilanië Po`ohina i ka `ohu kolo / Kahiko no ka poli `olu / Apo `ia e nä kualono / He hi`ina, hi`ialo, alohaë / Hi`ipoli, hi`ilei, hi`ilanië / ilanië Eia ku`u lei aloha / No Maunaleo i ka nani / `Ohu`ohu i ka Mälie / He kamalani kamaehu kau i ka hanoë / He kamalei, hamahiwa pä i ka lani e / ka lani e Eia ku`u lei aloha / No Maunaleo i ka nani / `Ohu`ohu i ka Mälie / He kamalani kamaehu kau i ka hanoë / He kamalei, hamahiwa pä i ka lani e / ka lani e No Maunaleo ke aloha kü i ka la`i e Aloha ë, alohaë ~ Beloved indeed in Maunaleo ~ / Sparkling in the light, wind-blown rain. A finely woven cloak for the highlands. / A cherished one, respected for power and strength. / Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven. / Capped by the silver of the rolling mists. / An adornment for that gentle heart. / Embraced by the surrounding ridges. / One to hold close, to hold near, to love. / One dear to the heart, precious, exalted. / This is my garland of affection for Maunaleo in its beauty. / Glorified by the Mälie breeze. / A cherished one, respected for power and strength. / Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven. / For Maunaleo is the serenity of deep love. / Beloved are you, beloved indeed.” .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA1xzuP0nkI / Maunaleo by Keali’i Reichel

  My first day here, and one of my pictures is featured . I hope that’s not a common occurrence, because I’m on top of the world! Unfortunately, its not my favorite work, I’m afraid, but I can see that it is different from what most people are doing. It was fun, though, and I’ll do more as I am able. Thank you, to everyone who has already given comments on my pictures. This is a wonderful community. —Sho

  OK….so I was just killing time, surfing the web and I cam across a website that I used to used a lot 7 or 8 years ago….it’s basically a site where musicians and bands upload their music; I found that they still had some of my stuff up there that I did when I thought all I wanted to do was write songs and compose music and be the next Timbaland/Dr Dre/Teddy Riley…I’ve just heard the 2 tracks I uploaded after a long, long time and they kinda give me the warm taste of nostalgia….although to everyone else they are probably totally lame…check it out the 2 songs here and let me know (play nice!): http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=98588&content=music
