Shop Update: New Look!

Adel Zeller Handmade has been given a make-over! I made a new business card design today to send off to the printers, and I was so happy with how they turned out, I decided to redesign the shop, too (and update the Facebook page profile photo).

Adel Zeller Handmade, Etsy Shop/Logo Redesign

That’s my hand! I use it to make things! How appropriate! You can score one of the spankin’-new business cards if you come visit me at the Sycamore Craft Market in Iowa City on March 31st (hint-hint).

In case you’re wondering, I ordered my business cards from Zazzle. Love-love-love Zazzle’s custom business cards! Excellent quality product, free double-sided printing and custom image uploads, super-easy-to-use design interface, and really good prices. Plus, you can use coupon code BIZCARD4LESS during checkout for 50% off your custom business cards!

In other shop news: I’m currently having a 2012 Calendar Clearance Sale in my shop, and all calendar items have been marked 50% off! Also, I happened to notice that Adel Zeller Handmade is sitting right at 199 sales — one more purchase to reach 200 sales! I’m thinking we should have a giveaway to celebrate!

I was right in the middle of developing a new set of 2012 calendar prints, and MY PRINTER DIED! As a result, I will need to test-print all over again when the new printer arrives. I decided to have a little giveaway of the half-year calendar sets for 2011 that I had printed for color selection.

T-Shirt Wantingness

T-Shirts. I love them.

Some might say, that I fanatically collect them.

But that would be an overstatement, pfft (okay maybe just a little)

I’ve been wearing tees with printed graphics of all the things that are wonderful, since I was old enough to choose my own clothes. When I was 12, my favorite was an allover print Betty Boop shirt (it was fantastic).

Jeans and tees are what I wear. Year round. Mostly black, which in the summer is unfortunate. Mostly band shirts, with some movies sprinkled in there. More conversations have been initiated by strangers because of the t-shirt that I’m wearing than anything else.

Purchasing new shirts for myself happens less and less frequently, now in my era of parenthood. (not that there’s any lack of great kids shirts) But as soon as its mom’s turn, I’m gonna be all over these:

T-Shirt Wantingness

1. Unicorn and F15 Jets from Beta, 2. MINERALS from Nonfiction Tees, 3. I would prefer not to Bartleby from The Riverwest Brothers, 4. I Can’t Hear You from Snorg Tees, 5. The Morning After from Threadless, 6. PROUD TO BE AWESOME from Signature Tshirts, 7. Faith No More “The Second Coming” Yellow Sky from FNM.com, 8. im in ur blank from Think Geek.

There are also some designs that I would looooove to get on a t-shirt, but are not actually available (?!) They would look something like this:

T-Shirt Wishingness

a. WWII screen print (yellow) from Nicholas Fredland, b. “bass players are sexy; your argument is invalid.”, c. Snail of Fury from Badbird.

Etsy Shop Makeover

I’ve given my Etsy shop a new look!

Adel Zeller handmade on Etsy

I stayed up (way to) late last night and mocked up four different concepts, and decided to go with the neat little monster-looking dudes. I also made a new simple banner and avatar for my old shop to make sure everyone knows it has moved.
