Who's got stuff for the update?

Meanwhile, I'm on the lookout for Dreamwidth users who have Etsy shops -- it doesn't matter what you sell, as long as it's handcrafted of some sort. I'd like to put together a showcase of DW users' creativity -- it's really easy for us to show off writers (of both fiction and nonfiction) on DW, since the tools we have for sharing and promoting writing are fairly well developed, but

mark and I always wanted DW to be a place to showcase all kinds of creativity, from writing to craft to photography to just plain chronicling your life, and I'd really like to start doing some work to promote the non-written forms of creative work our users get up to.

(

sarah and I are faultlesspajama, at the moment containing entirely jewelry. I've been looking for good beads to make Dreamwidth earrings -- alas, still haven't found anything!)

Okay to link and spread the word?

Absolutely! I'll be mentioning it in the update, too. Etsy lets you build Teams, and I'm really thinking of starting up a Dreamwidth team, as well as maybe trying to work with Etsy to see if they're looking for blogging software to maybe do a partnership ... we'd contacted Ravelry to see if they were interested, but haven't heard anything back from them, alas.

It might be a good idea to re-mention about disabling userpic keyword renames, estimated timeframe ( If you/fu feel comfortable giving a timeframe for that ) for the migration to finish, and expected process about migration ( including the brief readonly on each user ) -- IMO, that's a good thing to mention once somewhere that's more likely to be read instead of only in dw-maint

I sometimes envy you creative folks. +grins+ That's a real good idea, though, to find the DW Etsy folks.

You might want to warn users about http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2986, especially Drifting users.

(Also nearly 50 new themes! \o/)

RIP for Vox, and maybe how many users used the code?

At a guess, a fair few more than actually used Vox and switched here, I know at least two people new here used it to switch from LJ.

Me! Although my photo skills are kinda nil and I have a bunch of things that haven't been photographed/described/listed. Any idea when the showcase might be going live? It might be an effective motivator for me. :)

I am currently in charge of

etsy, if you want to use or promote that in some way. The comm is still a blank slate and I'd be happy to do just about anything with it that people would find useful and/or awesome. (If people want to sign on as co-admins, that would be cool with me.)

I will totally promote

etsy! And I was thinking, I'd gather shop links from people and then put together an Etsy Treasury list with my favorite items from DW-user-owned shops every week, then link to that week's Treasury list in the news update. Or something like that! I'm not sure. At any rate, this week will be for the collecting the list, so next week's the earliest.

I don't have an Etsy shop, but I do have an ArtFire shop: Dragon Feats

Oh, neat! I don't know much about ArtFire, but now I will have to check it out...

rivenwanderer has gorgeous jewelry up at purpleshiny.etsy.com.

clovisthecomely sells her work at http://www.etsy.com/shop/thecoppercamel, and

sihaya09 is at sihaya09.etsy.com. Oh, and Riv has a bunch of bead suppliers in her favorite shops list on etsy, if you're looking for etsy-based bead makers/sellers.

I am WeaverbirdBeads at Etsy - beadwoven jewelry and holiday ornaments, as well at other beaded jewelry. *g*

I have an Etsy shop.

Catch a Dream is the place to go for customized non-traditional dreamcatchers for the non-traditional dreamer.

Not all of my designs are currently displayed but a full archive of everything can be found on the Facebook Store Page in pictures.

Have you tried an Alchemy request for lampwork beads for the DreamWidth style earrings?

And-
http://DantesSpirit.etsy.com (Dante's Spirit on Etsy)

Also-

http://www.artfire.com/users/dantesspirit

I wish I had the guts to start an etsy store (well, that and I wish I spent more time making jewellery). Maybe one day!

I also have an etsy shop: purpleprimate.etsy.com. I knit and felt baskets and hats.

Much like Dreamwidth.org's graphic designers, I love to decorate with swirls. :)

Hee, this hat looks very Dreamwidthy!

Wouldn't it be so cool if there were a Dreamwidth user who was also a beadmaker and could make some beads with Dreamwidth swirls for use in earrings? (I'm not, and I don't think I know anyone who is, but that doesn't stop me from thinking it would be awesome!)

I used to make polymer clay stuff, including the occasional bead. You'd probably have to do it cane style, to get more than one. Hmm.

I have an Etsy shop, at Eithin. I do linocut & woodblock printmaking and jewellery, mostly made from lacquered paper or card.

I've got a shop! Laughing Rat Studio is where I sell my hand-dyed fiber & yarn, batts, and handspun.

I hope the other fibery Etsy peeps here will consider joining

fleecefiberyarn, which I started when I first joined DW. It's for selling any kind of fiber-related stuff, from your handraised fleeces to finished items. There's hardly any sellers there, so it's very quiet right now. It would be great if others would join and share what they have to offer!

I think

bedlamsbard is on Etsy, but I'd have to double check.

And she does! Bedlam's Bard Jewelry.

shatterpath and I have an Etsy store, but it's just the storefront atm, as we're still working on getting product up yet. Did you still want the link?

Sure! I'll save it for later on.

I'm on etsy as dreamhavendesigns.etsy.com

I don't have anything on there right now, because I'm getting ready for a big show in November, but I do a lot of bead-woven and wire jewelry, ornaments, and pretty much anything that strikes my fancy.

I'm actually in the process of contacting Hasbro to get legal permission to craft Transformers jewelry to sell to the public.

What a great idea!
I'm on Etsy as http://www.etsy.com/shop/thebotheredowl The Bothered Owl.
We do Lego jewellery, Lego stitch markers, I make bags including knitting project bags & needle storage stuff and I also make stuff like sunhats in the summer.

I have a shop:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/Sneezer222

I have some Halloween goodies, and some Mad Scientist items.

I'm at http://www.etsy.com/shop/blueoak, though it's another one that's still just a placeholder. Hopefully I will use my free time this winter to crank out enough chainmaille bags and jewelry to stock, not just to order.

I'm at JackelopeMoon @ Etsy.

As the awesome

phi mentioned, I run an etsy shop at purpleshiny.etsy.com. I make metalwork jewelry, often with a geeky and/or steampunk twist. (My shop's a bit on the stale side just now, since I'm getting ready for a show in October, but the things there are still a good sample of what I do).

I like using DW for babbling about what I do, and my journal's recently been an even mix of shop talk and personal life updates (to the extent that those are separable things!) I especially appreciate the inline cut tags, so I can put lots of photos behind cuts and still expect that it'll be easy for people to look at them.

Hi, I'm here from

sophiaviolet's link. My shop's a little bare right now due to con season and my day job keeping me busy, but its Aviatrix Workshop here. I tend to make jewelry and things out of upcycled materials, usually a bit geeky and cosplay related stuff.
