As we continue to work towads getting our Etsy store virtually stocked with inventory, developing our marketing plan, writing product descriptions and numerous photo shoots, we’re reminded of the importance of staying relevant and current. Why pour efforts into products that won’t sell because they’re no longer on trend? For the most part, I would say my jewelry design is more of a reflection of me [and hopefully people like me] than current “trendy” items…but I do think it’s useful to apply color trends where appropriate.
Pantone just released their Fall fashion color report for 2011, and while it’s a bit “candy coated” for my tastes, I do see some great potential for mixing in a few of these in with my standard pallet. I’m currently working on a piece that mixes bamboo and deep teal [sneak peak] but find myself dreaming up ways to play with orchid blush and emberglow…lovely!
Imagine summer days…not our dreary Seattle gray…Â What colors are you gravitating towards?
