New shop look


I don't know what happened, but I've suddenly been hit by a huge wave of inspiration and motivation! I'm working on 3 Tanis Fiber Arts original designs, none of which are finished, but all of which are showing promise. I decided that my shop needed to look more professional, so I got Chris to make me a real banner with my logo on it to replace my original "temporary" photoshopped image.

While he was at it he made a little avatar for me, in case you don't speak etsy-lingo (which I don't really), your avatar is the little image that pops up next to your name, it's the visual representation of you on Etsy, so I thought it should look polished too.


Now I've let him take a short break to go for a bike ride, and when he gets back we're going to work on creating a few more custom TFA items to spruce up my packaging. I'm thinking a TFA post card, a return address stamp, some stickers, maybe a coupon...

  1. looks good Tan, my only suggestion. I can't really read the "hand dyed yarn"

    it doesn't show up well on my screen, you may want to contrast that a little more.

  2. How about a groovy TFA button for a jacket or bag?...

    or a lightweight fridge magnet?

    a decal for the car?

    a bookmark to mark our place in our knitting books?

  3. I like it Tan. I think buttons are a neat thing to add in as a bonus with orders too. I have a button maker if you are interested.
    Tell Chris I say Good work.

  4. That's a great looking logo! And I agree with the Anonymous commenter, you could have some of those little mini-buttons too.
