That's just a placeholder until I write the real copy for this blog post.

How cool is it that I can search Etsy for 'LOREM' and find something? Tonight's search delivered this totally geeky/greeky tie by the Cyberoptix Tie Lab "Ties That Don't Suck."

Look What Punky Found for Type Geeks!

I just love this amazing piece from peppersprouts on Etsy! As a font freak type geek, this Sans Serif Typography Wood Wall Art would look perfect hanging on my office wall.

Check out the other great pieces while you are there!

Playing with letters

As a graphic designer turned jewelry designer, I am always looking for ways to let my passion for typography show through. I had fun playing with letters on the computer, so why not hand stamping?

Here are a few of my 'outlets' available on etsy ::

COMING SOON TO MY ETSY SHOP...More fur-people designs including this sweet little greyhound ::

For the love of font

Etsy continues to amaze me.

It would be enough for them to simply offer a place for us crafty-types to sell our goods, but they take it to the next level and beyond.

The overall interface, the technology, the functionality, the communication with sellers, promotions, pricing...all top-notch. But the thing that really sets it apart is the ability for members to promote other members.

There is a wonderful section called the Treasury, hundreds of member-curated listings of featuring their favorite items. The process of selecting your favorites is easy...there are literally hundreds of thousands of handmade items to choose from. And getting a Treasury of your own is relatively simple, but you have to be persistent and have perfect timing. I have found myself several times waiting for one or two listings to expire [they last about 3 days] so that the total number of Treasuries drops below that magic number of 333 when new spots open.

Poof! The box appears, you type your Treasury name and create your list. Now there are probably over 800 lists! That many people clicked at that exact moment to claim their own spot.

As an etsian, I think we all [secretly or not] want to be chosen for someone’s Treasury. A handful of these hundreds of lists actually make it to the front page, and I know we all want that.

I’d like to thank PaperMail [www.PaperMail.etsy.com] for selecting my Alphabetcha Necklace to be in her very cool typographic Treasury a few days ago. No front page this time, but lots of new views and a few new folks that heart Punky Jane! Thank you!!
