Silhouette Signature Prezi.

Hello again. I wanted to make it easy for you guys to browse the first collection, so I set it up in a Prezi. There was another piece, Of a Feather, but it sold so I just decided to leave it out.


Enjoy!

Silhouette Signature Collection.

Hey guys! As you know, the store opened yesterday (huzzah!) and I wanted to give you guys a peek at some of the products if you haven't already checked out the store.

Enjoy, and I hope you all go check out the etsy shop.

~Love, Silhouette.

Hello, all. Just because I love you all so very much, I am giving you a sneak peek at some of the cute packaging we use here at Silhouette Noir. Just like our products, no two gift boxes are the same. This one of the smaller ones. Sometimes we use wodden boxes or wicker baskets, I like to mix it up.

Remember to follow me on Twitter (@SilhouetteNoir) and check out the shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/SilhouetteNoir

Officially Open!

Hey guys! So, I had to push the start date of the store a few days. Sorry, but it's OPEN NOW! Yay! You can find it here, and start shopping! I hope you all enjoy.

Also, I am offering a Silhouette Noir Raffle. Whenever you place an order, a card will be included in the package. Each card will have a different number, and every other month, I will announce the winning number. The winner gets a something free. I will announce the first prize (as well as post the official rules) next week, and I will announce the first winner at the end of September. I will be having several raffles or other promotional offers, so keep checking here for news!

How to Order Personalized Items.

Hello, all. I want to take a moment to talk about customized and personalized items.

When you order an item that is custom-made for you or as a gift, please, BE SPECIFIC. You see, I am not currently able to read minds. It would be really cool if I could, but I can’t. Sorry.


So I can’t tell precisely what you want without you telling me. Let’s use an example:


Let’s say you are ordering a Fourth Corner piece for your niece’s birthday. Let’s call her Lucy. Lucy loves horses, reading, daisies, and the color yellow.

So, you think to yourself, “Say, since I am such a cool, fun aunt, I am going to buy her something from Silhouette Noir- you know, like the cool kids do. I want it in the style of “You’ve Been Framed”, and in the frame there will be her name in yellow, with a horse shoe as the “u”, and a daisy at the top.”


But then, when you order it, you just say “Frame. Lucy. Horses. Flower. Shoes”. I’m not going to know what in the name of God you are talking about. I’m probably going to put the name Lucy, and then draw a horse, and a rose, and then like a strappy heel, or something. Again, I can’t read minds.


Now, we should both bear in mind that these pictures are, in fact, art. And as an artist, I will take a few liberties, but I will always adhere as best I can to the request. If you’re just trying to give me artistic freedom, that’s really cool, but I really want to make the piece that you want. To do that, I need to know what you want.


So in conclusion, and I literally cannot stress this enough, BE SPECIFIC WHEN PLACING A PERSONALIZED ORDER. Thank you.

The Fourth Corner Pieces and Opening! The Fourth Corner Pieces.

Hello, all! I come bearing big news! First off, I mentioned in the previous post that I was going to incorporate art into my store. Well, I can now announce that they will be called the Forth Corners. The pieces are made from upcycled book pages, and the corners of each one are made to line up with each other, so you can create interesting patterns by combining different pieces.

I am only releasing 4 pieces to start off; The Four Corners, Silhouette Signature Gold Edition. The pieces are usually $18.00 each, but the Silhouette Signature Gold Editions ones are $12.00.



(Unfortunately, I already sold one of them (pictured in the bottom left corner), but you guys can special order one just like it, or with whatever variation on it you want.)


Now, while I am only releasing 4 to start with, I am happy to take requests. You can order a piece to be made in any of the four styles, and can have any variations you want. Feel free to get as creative with it as you want.



My second, and biggest, announcement is that the store is going to be open by this Wednesday! Yay! The link will be posted here. Just so you know, it is going to be on etsy.com.

Announcement! (and a special picture!)

Hello all! I have a special treat for you guys! I have a picture of a new product! Check it out:

Also, I have an announcment: I am adding a new branch to Silhouette Noir. You see, I love making clothing, but there are other kinds of art I want to get into. I am now also going to be selling sketches and paintings. Exciting! I have a really cool idea for them, but I have a little more work to do before I can reveal it. I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, keep checking here because the store will be popping up any day now! Yay!

Sneak Peek

Hello all! So, I’ve been very busy. Between sewing, designing, figuring out the legal and financial stuff, deciding how to set up the store, and being lazy, I haven’t been able to update of late. I’m sorry. I’ve missed you too.

But I’m here now. And with news! The store should be up and running within a fortnight! That’s right, not only are we about to start up Silhouette Noir, but I used the word “fortnight”! Yay!

Unfortunately for you all, I already sold one of the best pieces, Blazer Ablaze. Sorry, guys. This stuff goes fast.

I’ll be sure to keep you all posted on things more often. Check out my Google Plus account to see a sneak peek photo of some of the upcoming products. I wanted to post it on Twitter too, but my computer is being fickle. We'll see how it works out, but hopefully, you guys will be able to see some cool stuff on Twitter soon.


-Love, Silhouette.
