April is a month of changes for me. I will be posting at my tiers this month, with just one PUBLIC post for the month. I have to get use to this as well.
I made my first EARTH DAY design for this year... took forever! The design options at PRINTFUL are limited, and I keep dreaming of an ADOBE account. :-) I haven't used Adobe, but it looks like it will allow me to do a lot more with any design I might come up with. I may complain about Adobe as well. Each software has its good and bad points.
(NOTE :: I made the PRINTFUL link an affiliate link... that means I might earn some kind of commission from Printful if you click through and become a part of the Printful process somehow... joining, designing, buying... somehow. It's my first affiliate link... I'm still learning how it works.)
It's a large black organic cotton eco-tote... with 25-inch handles/straps.
You can buy it at my ETSY shop :: https://www.etsy.com/shop/work2gather
or my EBAY shop :: https://www.ebay.com/usr/work2gather
It is just a basic design of letters and the clip art they have available. I like words but there has to be some kind of design to go with them.
What I see in my head is still there,
waiting for the right "tools" to make things with.
I guess that is why my PATREON quest is so important... and soon would be better than later as I have no idea how much longer I have to live.
After I made the design and listed it at EBAY and ETSY, I started looking for some Etsy groups at FACEBOOK to participate in... I am currently looking into at least five. I want to find one to post at and see what others are making... another way to explore what is "trending." :-) maybe.
They seem to have a lot of boundaries with posting, so one group will probably be all I can handle. Some have many thousands of "members" that may or may not be active. Facebook groups are a sly way to sell your items, but they also sometimes bring good feedback. They are also a way to see the competition, and to find out what is currently being made and sold, etc.
When Etsy changed their team format my personal group went away... or it's somewhere I haven't found yet. I wanted to gather the Christian leaders for a team to help support each other. I called it ELECT, E ( ? Etsy) Leaders...(Etsy) Christian Teams... I'll have to find that missing word... I worked around that word because Christians are the ELECT of God.. Well, it's been awhile... my efforts didn't seem to get a return message when I contacted the leaders. Finding Christian teams at Etsy is a huge challenge... and worse now. They made it so hard to be a team I think everyone is abandoning the concept.
If you think the world is going to be fair about spiritual matters, you are wrong. I started to see how things were getting changed a long time ago, when I looked for community meetings to attend... and they were all on the nights and times that Christians were having church. Since then, I have discovered more of those "covert" methods. I do what I can and leave the details to GOD. We can't stop prophecy, and those who hate GOD think it's their responsibility to "save the world" from Christians. I don't think they realize what the consequences will become.
Online is just another war zone. We can't see what is happening, and many times can't do anything about it, but it is where we have to be right now. The saying "...things are falling into place" is true. GOD's Word is coming true right before our eyes and ears.
I keep saying, "If anyone did this to them, it would be called a hate crime." And it would. But things are never fair in times of persecution. I keep praying that GOD will help His People to find a way through this with each other... that is what WORKING TOGETHER was created to do... I think it may be too late now.
So... PATREON is my last hope. :-) (plus a possible lottery win someday... BIG lottery win... only :-)
I would like to start the process, and be able to do some of my BUCKET LIST items. That would work for me. I am ready to die, and WT is GOD's business/ministry. I just wanted to get a few last things done.
I guess I got going there... it is always on my heart... always a current need.
