Hello all!
I created this blog to correspond with my
Etsy store, even though it's not completely finished. I haven't put anything up for sale yet because I've had some major setbacks lately. I've been trying to save money to move out of Charlotte with my boyfriend, Damon, so I haven't been able to buy the materials I really need to get going as of late.
My store name is Robotosaurus! because, naturally, I love robots and dinosaurs, and I think the name is colorful enough to represent my little creations.
I've got TONS of sketches for the opening line of pillows I'm going to make, but that's about as far as some of them have gotten. I've gotten three completed so far, along with a painting (and believe me, paintings aren't my forte, but I'm trying my hand at it occasionally anyway), and a box I painted. Damon is much more of a painter than I, and with that, he's starting his own branch of a business as well.
Eventually, we're going to collaborate and join our forces together for one business, but for now, I think it's a better idea that he does his thing and I do mine, and we help each other out when we can. Right now, we need to concentrate on creating our own styles and feeling them out before we make some compromises to work together. It'll happen one day though!
He's such a great artist. The paintings he does really blow me away sometimes. At the moment, he's selling boxes through his
ebay store. Check them out!
My ultimate goal is to one day, own a store with handmade pillows, t-shirts, stuffed animals, boxes, paintings, and other art and knick-knacks with Damon...and I also want a dog grooming salon in it!
I have a passion for animals, and right now, my full-time job is at an animal hospital, where I work in the kennel and am a dog bather. I love it. I'm going to dog grooming school in the next few months, after we move, and I am so excited! I have an American Eskimo dog named Nugget Salad, and she's basically my baby and my mascot. She's way spoiled, but that's what babies are for, no?
As far as the current state of my Etsy store goes, I started taking photos of one of the pillows I've made and those photos turned out well, I suppose, but then it started raining outside. Gee thanks, sky! Obviously, today was not meant to be the day for me to begin listing. It'll happen sometime this week for sure.
And just to let everyone know, not all my posts are going to be this boring, I promise. Introductions are always pretty lame, right? :)
I plan on making a theme for the content each entry, and obviously, I'll keep everyone posted on the new and exciting things Robotosaurus(!) has in store for everyone!
(Oh, and I'm new to blogspot and don't know all the ins and outs and how everything works here, so advice is always welcome. Lovelove!)
