A few weeks ago AxmxZ posted an Obama beaded pendant AxmxZ had made. In the comments, I suggested it be put on etsy.com for sale. I was so excited to see it as I have been working on my own Obama crafts in the wee hours of the night when one can't be calling for Neighbor to Neighbor or walking communities.
I recently had my first experience wearing an Obama craft in public, taking my Obama CHANGE purse to Kroger. In this super republican county in Arkansas, the ladies at the deli counter were winking at me! One even called me darlin'. Then the lady at the cash register winked at me! I was afraid I would ruffle some feathers or even accidentally offend people, but it was just the opposite. This is the first time I've "advertised" for a candidate. I didn't realize until recently it is a sign of trust...and can even help bolster people on the fence.
Encouraged by this experience and AxmxZ, I started working on my own crafts, but to my dismay, I saw that AxmxZ's logos, pendant, and earrings still have not sold.
Amazingly, AxmxZ is donating all of the profits to the campaign. Currently unemployed, I can only afford to give a portion of the sale. So in bumping awareness AxmxZ's etsy store, I thought I would promote my own store.
Right now I've got small crocheted logos embedded in resin pendants, knitting and crochet patterns for Obama CHANGE purses, as well as a few purses in medium and large sizes. I'm in the process of lining and finishing some of the purses just like the crochet pattern. Stay tuned for more stuff, and buy handmade! Here are some pictures, click for a larger picture:
Finally, I have a FREE pattern for an Obama Ornament. The test crocheters on ravelry.com have given it the thumbs up. Print one out for your granny or email it to your hipster girlfriend today!
Don't forget to search etsy.com for tags: Obama, Obama_logo, presidential, political, and democrat.
