A quickie

Hello Faithful Readers!

Just wanted to drop in to say that we've created an etsy store. If you don't know etsy is, then click on the link under "Pages" and check it out =) (Basically it's just another version of a store ;)). AND we now have a Twitter account - Also added to the Pages List.

SO LONG!

Yes, it has been so long since last I posted. The title also refers to the length of this post!

Fear not, you are not forgotten... adoring public of whom I doubt there are many >.> (notes the fact we have no followers...)

Nevertheless, store updates are posted here when we get them! Annndd... we have a store update! Three new knoblings have made their way into the store, including Butterfly-Fairy who brings a whole new look to the knoblings. Instead of her block brethren, she is a magnet. Hopefully the first of a new line. I'm doing some experiments with the knobs I have left, and thought mounting them on other things besides wooden blocks might prove interesting. A small package of magnets and several feathers later, and viola! Butter-Fairy is born.

Not to take the spotlight away from the other new knoblings, I would like to introduce "Mouse" and "Beach Bunny" as they make their debut on Coyote's Blessings. May Mouse munch his way into a good home while Beach Bunny soaks up the rays and enjoys the attention of her adoring public.

Other changes afoot include Crow and I working on redesigning the store-front for a great new look. Our site provider upgraded their system, making designing websites even easier. So we're having fun changing the store's design and outline. Keep checking back for updates on this! If you have suggestions, feel free to post them up for us, we'd love to hear from you (as always).


Finally - we have a Facebook page!

Big News Part II

Coyote's Blessings is officially official!

We managed to scourge enough funds together to get our official business license!! So we're a legit business now!

Massive Update

I have two items of great news! Originally I was going to post them both in one massive entry; however I think they both deserve individual entries.

We received our first major commission! Crow received a commission of approximately forty Clay Critter figurines. She's currently working hard to make them. They are ornaments for two wonderful little girls to commemorate their birthdays. Although the girls are not very old at the moment, the person who commissioned Crow asked for two copies of each Critter. So Crow has a lot of work to do! We'll post pictures as they come up in the "Commissions" section of the website as she finishes them.

In lesser news, I am working on new knoblings - "Beach Bunny" and "Mouse House". I hope to get wind chimes in the mix again soon (read - updated and better!).

Not Forgotten!

Hello everyone,

No fear, we haven't forgotten our fans (those of you out there). It's been a busy few weeks with little movement on the CB front. Unfortunately funds are low, so supplies are limited.

However, Crow finally sat down and created more Clay Critters! She's working hard to replace the "old style" Critters with the newer clay. I'd also like to introduce two new additions to our collection - Crow and Cabbit! (Yes, a Cabbit). You'll be able to see them in the store in about an hour, which is approximately the time that it will take me to insert their photos.

In other news, we're also eliminating our "Garage Sales" section, at least for now. Perhaps when we have more site visitors we'll re-introduce it. If you saw something on the section that you were intending on buying and would like to reserve it, please feel free to email us within the next week or so. Otherwise, everything will be donated to a worthy cause or sold at our local bookstore/music store.

Exciting new feature coming soon - the Gallery! Images of knobling commissions and already-sold wind chimes will be put on display. These are for reference and admiration only. For although I will be able to make similar knoblings and wind chimes, none of them are exactly the same, and of course knoblings are still limited edition pieces.

That's it for now. I'm off to update the website!

Grey Kitty

Hm, next time I have a commission (heh heh, next time) I'll keep track of what I'm doing for each day. That might be interesting. For now it's enough to say that grey kitty is finished. I'm just waiting on an address to ship her to and we're set. Though I was concerned on her 'cuteness' factor and had some trouble keeping her eyes to stay where they were glued, she turned out rather well. Crow approved of her with a smile and an "I like her, she's cute."

Crow is working on some bead creatures. I don't know if they will be up for sale at this time; however she intends to create bead creations in the future and those will be for sale for sure. She has not worked anymore on her metal dragon design. Tomorrow more Clay Critters will be created, and slowly the old style Critters will be replaced with the newer styles. If you like the old style, order now because they're going to disappear within a few months!

Woooow!!!

I am so excited! I just got a commission for a knobling. Someone saw the brown knobling kitty and adores it. She is commissioning me to make another one. Luckily there is one more brown knob, so the kitty will have a twin sister (or brother) somewhere. =) She was interested in the process, so we got a chance to "talk shop" a bit too. Sounds like I have my work cut-out for me, and will be working on Knobling Kitty #2 come tomorrow and next week.

It's so great to finally have some bites on the shop. Ok, yeah we'll probably get more once we actually start advertising aggressively; however the passive advertising I've been doing on some of the forums I visit has paid off too.

Addendum: After a bit more conversation, she decided on a gray kitty!
