Update on SMhennadesigns Aug2012

I'm working on another website at the moment, can't wait until it is published! I honestly hated the old one, it was so boring (although purple is my favorite color). I hated the layout, hated that I couldn't do more to it, basically it wasn't ME. Hopefully I will have the website published fairly soon.The downside is that I can't use my old domain name (www.smhennadesigns.com) since Vistaprint wants me to pay to use that domain name now :/  Any suggestions on what I can use for my new one?
*UPDATE 8/16/12* MOST OF MY WEBSITE HAS BEEN DONE-CHECK IT OUT. ALSO, I WILL BE KEEPING SMHENNADESIGNS.COM YEY!! FIGURED THINGS OUT JUST HAVE TO PAY MORE THOUGH =( OH WELL. 

Next, is my logo. A wonderful, patient, creative friend of mine helped me with my logo (or watermark) for my pictures. It is so much better than what I had originally created. I am thankful that she had helped me out because I love the new one better. What do you think? (see below of my old and new one)

Old: (you may not see smhennadesigns.com written on top since it will blend in with background)

New:

It looks so much more uniformed and simple, and looks great on my pics =) check it out:

Unfortunately, if I do end up changing my domain name, my logo needs to be changed as well! ugh...

Still working on changing my business cards because i'm bored of those too now lol. It was just to get started, and I didn't like it SO much to begin with as well. *sigh* It's a lot of work to do on my own along with work and school, promoting my business, managing it, expanding AND creating new items/ideas/designs quickly.  

Any volunteers ? :D feel free to help a friend out if you can help with any one of those things. I'd love  you forever! ok...well, maybe I'd love you enough to share my reeses with you! (and you might know how much I love my reeses!)

QOTW!

(Question Of The Week)


So I missed one week of my QOTW! did u miss me? I hope so! =)  I've just been so busy with my final and with my Henna stuff. Trying to book events and prepare for them mostly!  Well here it goes,


I find it quite offensive when people try to underpay me for my Henna work.  It requires a lot of time, skill and passion. What annoys me is when people don't complain about going to a beauty parlor for example-to get their henna, makeup, hair,e tc done or shopping at brand stores for ridiculous prices, but when it comes to a freelance artist/craft (any kind) you don't think they're worth THAT much?! smh.  It is just like any other job, and we expect at least some appreciation.  

If you are an artist, what is one of the most bizarre things a customer has said to you or asked for? 
If you fit in the 'customer' category, please feel free to give your opinion about this and if you shop with local artists in your area.

I feel extremely good about crafting! Doing my Henna to be exact (Or photography, and all the other crafty things I love). It honestly makes me feel SO good and I definitely see it getting somewhere in the near future. I just wish I focused more on it before but I had a lot to accomplish then. I guess it is all happening when its the right time! I don't know if it might seem weird, but deep down I feel so passionate about these things. I hope the passion shows in my work because every single piece I do, I make sure it satisfies ME 100% first.  If it touches my heart, then I feel good about passing it on to others (the things that I do sell).  If I had the money, I would definitely quit everything else and choose this as my career. With the nursing career I chose, I would like to try my best to squeeze the craft in somewhere. I refuse to leave it behind.


Here is an update of my new works =) 


Please give me some feedback, as it helps me decide which colors,designs,products are liked more! Thanks !! 


My new logo:

I finally managed to work on my website! I will be trying it for about a month and depending on how it goes I will either keep it or close it! Let me know what you guys think! Please =) I need some kind of feedback, I would appreciate it <3
