Steph's Blog: what's new with KKaZZ Designs?
Not much news on the KKaZZ designs front these days; my
full-time web design business has been demanding so much attention that beading has gone by the wayside for a while now.
A couple weeks ago I managed to steal a little time to inventory and photograph all the new stuff I'd done since August(!), optimize the pics, stick em on Facebook and Flickr and post them all on Etsy.
After an epic two-day battle with the KKaZZ workflow, I've now got more than 70 items in the shop and am thinking about signing up for a few more local craft shows.
The Can-Change environmental festival was a great day on the lake last September, and made me realize how much I enjoy sitting outside by the lake talking to community members about art. And I sold a lot of stuff, which I must say is motivational.

Building the displays was fun. I'd rescued some big pieces of driftwood from the cottage where I used to live and found that they lent themselves well to hanging things from. I built the other pieces out of scrap wood, recycled styrofoam and some black cloth - techniques learned from my time building set pieces in high school.
KKaZZ is now good and prepared for more shows and anticipating an interesting year.
