Help Me Find Words!

[kerravonsen]

I am mentally exhausted, working on my Etsy shop, trying to think of NEW and DIFFERENT tags to describe my items. I've combined phrases, and I've scoured the thesaurus, and I can't think no more. PLEASE HELP ME! If you could pop over to Essence of Eclectic and look at a few listings, and suggest alternative tags that I haven't already used (the tags are, unfortunately, at the VERY BOTTOM of an item's page), that would be extremely helpful to me. I need a different perspective, my perspective is all perspectived out.

from looking at a handful

transformative work; cogs, gears; fibre arts/yarn arts/string arts; upcycling.

And I'm conflicted about whether there are other appropriate words to use for the kumihimo. Because I can imagine that people might refer to it as 'that Japanese macrame', but I'm not sure that tagging it like that would be at all a good thing.

Thanks!
No I don't think "that Japanese macrame" would work, especially since it isn't macrame.

The "upcycling" one would be great -- if only I did any upcycling. I don't think any of my current stuff does, at least. I know I have in the past.

The resin pendant with what looks like watch gears in is what prompted the upcycling.

[kerravonsen]

Ah. Only the actual real watch parts were upcycling - the larger gears and the beads were all new. So it doesn't really count. I do have a method for making jewellery out of bubble wrap, but I don't currently have any of those made, though I do intend to in future. 8-)

Oh! I don't think I'd noticed those as new. I am intrigued by the idea of jewellery out of bubble wrap, but I have no idea of what it might look like.

[kerravonsen]

A bit hard to describe, really. The plain stuff is sort of frosty plastic. But what I like doing is adding embossing powder inside, so I get a mix of colours.

Intriguing! Thank you for the description.
