winneganfakeAll right- given that we're going to be buried under the waves of all the big-box store advertising soon, I figure it's a good idea to start doing this a bit early this year.
What is this? This is a chance for all of you artists, crafters, and other Makers of Stuff to give people a good look at what you've got for sale for the holiday season. Much likebenchilada's Big Shill posts. I don't have as huge a readership, but this sucker is going to get crossposted or linked to both my main journals, DeviantArt, Twitter, Facebook, the works- there's some exposure there, especially if other people start spreading the word, which I heartily encourage.
So, what do you do here? Head into the comments, and pimp your stuff. Tell us what you make. Tell us what would be great stocking stuffers that you do. Tell us what'd be good presents to buy from you. And most of all, make sure to both show us pictures, and include a link to where we can buy your stuff at. It's that simple.
There's only a couple of rules I ask you to follow.
1. Respect people's browsers- no images bigger than 800x600, and no more than ten images.
2. If you post a comment in here, I'm not going to ask you to repost this whole thing and do it in your own journal, but I will ask that you at least help spread the word about this and share the link to this entry around.
3. One comment. You get ONE. Do not spam this space with multiple comments pimping your stuff. Replies to people are fine, but keep your pimpage to just one comment space.

For those coming in from anywhere else, here's my own entry into this:
Hi, I run Tormented Artifacts, making masks, props, digital prints, and all sorts of other things.
Among other stuff, I've done a deck of cards, which would make an awesome stocking stuffer- here's some art from that:
Just click the image to go see the ordering page.
I also do t-shirts, which would make another awesome gift:
Or there's stuff like the aforementioned masks-
And that's my entry. Easy stuff, no? Now, it's your turn. Put in your comment, and let's start making sure that people remember that independent artists can make gifts that're a whole lot better than anything you'll grab from the big stores.

Date: 2010-11-23 07:56 am (UTC)My skills are mostly photography. I'm an American living in New Zealand since 2001. I've got a Cafe Press shop, Pinepig Studio. There are a lot of gift ideas, things like travel cups, tiles, keepsake boxes, mugs, calendars... with different images of New Zealand or hey, for something different check out the Antiques or Memento Mori sections. There are 10-packs of magnets, quick and easy stocking stuffers or office gifts. I've got 10 and 20 packs of Yule and Solstice cards as well as traditional Christmas cards or cards that are blank with no words for any occasion.
A couple of the items from my shop:

My wife has an online jewlery shop at Artfire with her necklace creations. Spiritsdance Studio Here are a couple of her pieces:
