CRAFTY ITEMS

[normandeedog]

Hi

I'm new to this site but have already found it much friendlier than the other side!!

As a buyer I would welcome a main craft section and the sub categories are an excellent idea, would make life much easier for everyone

Please, please help us buyers too :wink:

I agree.... I especially think there should be alot more to do with crafts, mainly cross stitch

[doodoot]

do you craft types think that we should have a forum to chat about all things arty/crafty?

judging by the input into this thread, there seems to be a lot of you!

i've made the suggestion to gary and mark on the "website suggestion" forum.

there's also a poll, so please have a quick look and let me know what you think. :wink:

Sorry to rekindle this argument but I have loads of knitting machine books and literature to sell and just can not see anyone going to "Whatever's left" to find them. That is where I enventually found Craft & Arts.
Was no agreement reached back in June?

G & M said that if we get 1000 items listed we can have a main category for crafts.

I have sold quite a few cross stitch magazines from where it is now but would prefer an easier way to find it.

Hey Gazza (hello are you there?)
On the subject of Crafts as a topic header - here's a warning

Remember I'm based in north Thailand and I'll be heavily expanding my offerings over the next few months .....

Go to Google.com and do a simple search on "Thailnd + Crafts" - you'll get roughly 50 million pages returned and even if you only trawl through the first two or three, you'll find approximately 200 types of crafts represented. Examples -

Bags & fashion accessories
Basketware
Belts, buckles, & straps
Candle Making
Carving
Ceramics
Cotton ware (hand woven)
Doll Making
Dried Flowers
Embroidery
Ethnic crafts
Frames, albums, and mounts
Garden sculpture
Glass sculpture
Home Decor
Home Furnishing
Jewellery
Lapidary
Laquerware
Needlepoint
Painting
Paper products
Pictures
Pottery
Sculpture
Silk products
Silverware
Weaving
Wooden games
Wooden toys

And that was just the first bunch I could think of in alphabetical order.

eBid members have also asked me to find items like
incense
herbs
wind chimes
ethnic clothing (normally it's hand woven and hand assembled)

Hope you get the picture

I would LOVE to see a craft cat here. I think it will attract buyers and sellers alike. I need to buy craft items, especially lace, trimmings, thread etc. Ive been saying this since comming over from the other side, on other threads as well as this one.

Lace ..... Lace? ....... did you say lace? LACE?
I can get that, in quantity, handmade in silk, in the next village to me here in Thailand :wink:

What sort of stuff you looking for? pm me please

How about CRAFT SUPPLIES SEWING RIBBONS AND LACES. i AM GOING TO NEED QUITE A BIT OF THIS SOON and otherwise I will have to go on the market. It will be great to have a craft section anyway.Will we have a seperate place for craft iterms for sale as opposed to the materials to make craft items with. (Bit of a minefield isn't it) ops: ops: ops: :lol:

Hi Sydney

Point me at some web pics of the type of sewing ribbons and lace you want and I'll see if I can track some down - we have a huge haberdashery market here in Chiangmai - bigger than Covent Garden - so most of what you're after should be there, but not sure how prices will stack up
