Pulp Sushi

Show some *Bling* with your Java

You all know about Fred Flare right? Sometimes their shop comes up with the wittiest things, it drives me insane! Like this great coffee cup.  It comes in silver too if you aren't too keen on gold (like myself).

SHOP TALK 

I don't know how I feel about this, I guess I shouldn't care, it happens to everyone.  I just discovered that someone who has purchased some of my pinup girl buttons is turning them around and reselling them but they're attaching them to a bow and felt heart making a brooch out of them.  Whatever right? I mean they pay their money, they can do what they want with them but I don't sell the buttons as supplies, I want people to wear them. I guess there's nothing I can do about that once they are out of my hands.

Wall Art from Design Public

Do you know about Design Public? They have some great contemporary items for your home, and for your wall too! Look at the monkeys!!

One more site to join....

Anyone else on this? I just joined last night.  I guess I need buddies on here or something...

It's a messageboard for crafters and DIYers to come together to show off your products, promote, annouce upcoming events, and maybe even rant a little about the business, because we all know it ain't perfect.  I received a warm welcome and gained a few hearts out of it - I added a heart or two myself.  Go pay a visit.

UPDATE: Not to mention I got a couple of sales out of it too...but I guess I did mention it. :)

New at Pulp Sushi (Etsy)

Taking a small break from the earrings and have added a couple of necklaces this week, first up...

Miss Kitty is back, and she has a heart for you!

Glamour Skull Necklace was added too.  I love pink, I love silver, I love skulls. You can't go wrong.

I'm loving the colors on this Oscar necklace! It's fuscia with green eyes, way girlie for Oscar. :)  But enough with the pinks!

How cool!  A black Oscar with red eyes, and for that extra touch the chain is gun metal.

Flickr Faves & Craft Stylish & Indie Parade

So much to share I do not know where to begin!!!

First, I was pleasantly surprised and happy to see my Sushi Roll Necklace on the front page of Indie Parade.

On my new quest to finding non-Etsy forums to promote, I learned last night at the monthly {NewNew} team meeting about a new publication and website called Craft Stylish.

I did not hesitate to set up an account. I know, there's SO many sites to join I can't keep track of what username and password is for what! Do I already have an account there? ACK!!! I guess I just like the newness of Craft Stylish, oh the opportunities!

It's also time for another set of Flickr Faves!!!!

Show Me Your Wall - PULP SUSHI!!!

Just who in the heck do I think I am asking others to show me what's going on in their home and not offer myself up on display? I got a lot of nerve!

So allow me to show you MY wall! Of course, click the images for a closer view.

Of course we have to start in the bedroom with my collection from The Black Apple (and growing!).

Besides my bed is a gocco print I ordered from the ever so sweet MarmeeCraft.

The next six pieces are by my boyfriend, Senor Muerto, yeah!

He did some serious Modge Podge action putting this collage of Gil Evgren pinup models on a canvas.

These two he painted for me as presents. On the left is "Pinup Dead Girl" and on the right "Chillin' With Chi Chi the Weenie" - she's got a big butt. :)

This one is in the hallway and I believe it's called "Hot Night In Rio"....because it's suppose to be hell.  If you look up close, you see black shadows in the flames, it's pretty cool.

These last two are in the dining area next to our Shag print (see below).  On the left is "Dance for Frankentiki" and on the right is "The Stroll".

I purchased this print when Shag was doing his Donna con Bambino exhibit in late 2006.  It has a raven, and an Edgar Allen Poe bust...get it???

3-D art original by Queenie, www.pocketfullofposiez.com. Long-time LiveJournal friend, I was so happy to finally own one of her art pieces.

I need a break!!!

I just decided to take a much needed break from the Etsy messageboards.  It's starting to really annoy me over there.  Although I always believed that the Promo's forum was my main source of business, I just gotta stop and explore other options.   I need to take advantage of places like IndiePublic and We Love Etsy. I already feel like I do a lot of promoting on MySpace and Flickr and of course my blog, so please do not suggest those places to me. 

Are there any other places I can promote my goods? I advertise through Project Wonderful and I am planning to buy two spots in magazines (one online and one print).  The thought of joining any more social networking sites is going to make my brain ooze out of my ears.

So yeah, no more Etsy messageboards for a bit.  Who knows maybe that'll help business? Stranger things have happened.  I'm just gonna stare at these Betsey Johnson shoes and wonder where I can wear these...outside of the bedroom that is. ;)

New use for coasters

Who doesn't love getting comments? I always check out every website left when someone leaves a comment because you never know what wonderful things you may come across. For example, take this entry from The Butterly Collector who came up with a great idea for old coasters she gave new life to.

There are more pictures when you click the link to see what exactly she did with these Geisha coasters. Kinda goes along with the Vintage theme for the month, even though it's not Friday. :)
