John and I are a husband and wife team working from our home in a small community outside Sedona, Arizona. For over 20 years now we have been making quality handmade buckskin leather goods and beadwork, all the way from small leather pouches to custom designed leather handbags. We are so grateful to do what we love. We also have a beautiful daughter, four grandchildren and a sweet dog (fur baby) that we adore. When we aren’t creating and shipping and promoting ourselves and others we spend our time in our small organic garden enjoying the beauty of nature and life.We really enjoy making beautiful, functional, wearable art for our customers. It makes us smile when we hear back how much they love their new handbag or whatever they have purchased.John and I have both been influenced and inspired by some of our artist friends who have completely mastered their art. They are friends who have become famous at their trade. They always encourge us to follow our dreams and never give up and when we come across an artist block just to work our way out of it.
We love our small garden and being able to give a helping hand or a warm smile to someone, be it online or just a passerby.We really enjoy helping fellow artists anyway we can. We always like to encourge others the way we were encouraged.We both do alot of promoting others on social media and I have two blogs that I feature artists on.We both really love the community and the warm welcome we received when we joined.The site is very user friendly. It’s great being able to ask questions and receive a quick response.I am not real sure what to say here.I guess I would have to say more places to promote and share pictures and share one another on the site. We are still learning our way around.We promote our work on social media. Facebook is one where we have our own Facebook group for all handmade artists and we encourage everyone to share one another, not only is it good Karma but it benefits artists to be seen in more places.We also are members of many other promotion groups. We are on Google+, and I have two blogs where I promote others and our business.
Do your best to have a full store. Go inside the community and make your name and brand known to everyone. Be sure to always leave links to your Zibbet store. Promote others, it is good Karma.living in a community of like minded artist friends.Tags: Featured Zibbeters, Thunder Rose Leather
