As I said before, there's lots of new interviews I'll be posting here! Today it's from howlindoggie, a seriously awesome jewelery designer from the land of Oz. Check out her beautiful work and my interview with her!

Q: Where are you located?

Sydney, Australia

Q: With the majority of Etsy sellers being in North America, do you find it hard being further away?

Not at all, I think it's an advantage to stand out from the group.


Q: Where are most of your sellers located?

My buyers are 80% US & Canada, 15% EU & 5% Australia (strange that I sell the least in my own country...)

Q: How do you promote your store?

Through etsymetal, blogs, word of mouth, car decals, flickr & i will soon be selling on 2 more internet shops that aren't mine


Q: How did you find Etsy and how have you found the experience so far?

I love Etsy. I think Etsy is such a great place. I would never have had so much fun & learned so much about my computer & the internet had it not been for Etsy. and of course I have met so many great people through Etsy & have sold so much more of my work internationally.


Q: What is your favorite store on Etsy?

I have many favorite stores on etsy and it would take me forever to type all of them, so here are just a few (apologies to all my other favorite stores, i'll mention you all in my blog when i add my next post)

Q: What are your future plans for building up your store?

Spend more money on advertising & marketing it & of course making more new pieces which are in the works right as i type

Q: Pick one item from a seller on Etsy other than yourself to describe you.

The item that i can relate to a lot would be nanopod's Perelandrain Ring IV as the magical land that CS Lewis describes in his book is where I think it's at (at least when I'm in my studio it's abit like that for me LOL).
