Are you a good follower?

I follow a bunch of people on facebook, youtube, instagram… various social media. Twitter too but I am rarely on there as much as the others. I follow a lot of artists and creators in the same trade as me.  I like to see what everyone else is up to. Check out new trends. You know… practice good business. I have two questions. For those who sculpt and create charms with polymer clay, I see all those videos with your charm collections and charm updates. What do you do with all those charms that you have so organized in those
plastic boxes? I love the charm update videos. I am intrigued by the resin work. I am learning from you. So please… what do you do with them once you make them? I sell a lot. I turn them into earrings and necklaces and wear them. My mother wears them. But all I see is charm collections and resin collections. And Please what do you do with those resin tiles?


Second… for those of you who promote on social media (which lets face it, that’s all of us) what is offsetting about other artists that makes you unfollow them? I absolutely adore the work of a fellow artist. And I had to make the call unfollow them because while I follow a lot of people on instagram, my entire news feed was completely filled with them reposting the same picture over and over. Now I know what you are thinking… computer glitch? No. these were posted throughout the day, with different captions and different tags. They filled my instagram. And my facebook. I had to search to find other images. After a just 2 days of this I couldn’t follow this person anymore. I completely admire their work. I will look them up on youtube once in a while but is this extreme? What makes you follow or unfollow an artist? What makes you click that button to start with? What cross the line?



If you can answer one or both of these questions please leave a comment.

Where can i find you?

Short answer? Anywhere.

Here is a list of where you can follow us if you are a fan. Some are used more than others, but don't dismiss something that looks like it hasn't been used in a while, new things are comming.

We don't want to bombard you, but we do want to communicate with you, where you are. So if we missed your favorite social media outlet, let us know, we may just live in a bubble and not know about it, or as an oversite, forgot to link it.

in most cases we can be searched for under jessie and jessjess creations OR jessjess385201.

I'll start with our blog. HEY GUESS WHAT!!! you can find us right here.  And we thank so so much for stopping by. This is a little more of a candid look into our lives and opinions on things. I am told no one reads blogs anymore, i think maybe they are wrong.

We have a youtube account, right now it has 1 upload, of my hedgie playing. There are no subscribers but we are putting together some videos now and want to use it. I love youtube. I watch it all the time, i like it better than tv.

I am most definately on pinterest.  i love it. I use it at work, I have a board with things from my shop, please check them out, and please visit my shop and pin other things as well. This morning i moved my pinterest from being personal, to from my shop. Basically my name changed, but we do alot with scouts and camping, always fun to see what people do in their 'real' lives.

We are on facebook. Here we try to keep the most up to date info on our shop. Whats going on, whats new, whats promoted. I wish people would be a little more involved on here. Visit us, comment, share, add fan photos, i'm on here almost daily, and get every notification instantly thanks to my ipad. Its easy for me to use this app at work, so it's a really easy way to contact us, and share ideas and awesomeness. And i don't constantly post 30 times a day stuff to buy from me like some fan pages do.


Shoot us a tweet once in a while, I love that theres limited characters. it forces people to pick their words carefully, and i dont have to read through rambles such as this blog post right here
