Putting It Out There

I'm sorry this bad blogger has been so absent this last week. It wasn't all work and no play. I have been working on this little project that has been rattling around in my head since I picked up the box at The Bins quite a while back. I call it a Wunderkammer... a cabinet of curiosities. Does it make anyone else feel totally pretentious and filled with anxiety to ask the cost of the materials plus something that isn't even minimum wage for the time and just put it out there and hope people don't think it is ugly and make fun of you? I pressed publish and listed it in my Etsy tonight. GAAAAAH......

The Polka Dot Closet said...: I absolutely know what you mean! Everyone says I under price myself....It isn't that I don't value my work, it is just that I hate to take anyone's money

Maggie said...: I learned a new word today! Wunderkammer....and yours is wunderbar!

And I hear ya sistah on the anxiety of 'putting it out there', and especially the pricing. I just listed some pendants in my little etsy shop and the pricing process is sooo angst-y. If I charged by the hour...omg, it would be ridiculous!!

People will love your cabinet of curiosities. You collect the coolest things! Love the fun backgrounds you put behind them all!; October 1, 2013 at 1:53 PM
Blessed Serendipity said...: That cabinet is amazing Kathy. It looks like you put a lot of time into it. I'm going to have to enlarge the photo and look at it again.

Annette said...: Oh Kathy, this is wonderful!! It's just perfect for all the little curiosities you find.

I feel the same way every single time I put a price on something I make. I find it very stressful.; October 1, 2013 at 5:27 PM
Laurie said...: It's fabulous Kathy! I so envy you for taking the time to put it all together -- I dream of doing stuff like that in 3D!; October 1, 2013 at 6:29 PM
