Calling for help from GW Crafters!!!

20 years ago

Hi...it's me Netta. My personal Website is on the new side of new, but I am devoting all of November to getting it more filled out. What I would like from you (if you don't mind helping)is to find out what other kinds of information that you, as crafters, might like to see on the site...

Now there are only a few sections that actually have anything in them and I will give them to you stair-stepped below. I would appreciate knowing what you would like to see, so I can avoid placing unnecessary drivel on my website.

Lonetta's Arts & Crafts

These are the areas I would like you to investigate:

Christmas Crafts (lots more to come in the next few weeks)

Theme Trees/Victorian Lady

Ornaments/Bead Garland Tassels

Decorations/Wreaths

Decorations/Floral Arrangements

Decorations/Display

Decorations/Tree Skirts

General Crafts (this might end up being a long process)

Floral Arrangement

Art Gallery (have lots to add, just need to take pics)

Drawing & Painting

If you would like help...let me say thank you now!

    I am not seeing anything under ornaments section except titles. What is it you want us to comment on? Will there be pictures?

    I was wanting to know what kinds of information a crafter might be interested in seeing in conjunction with the pictures....and under the ornaments section the ornament pages that are now "complete" are the Beaded Garland Tassels and the Pinecone Ornaments. Click on the icons to view the different pages.

    Any input would be nice since I am unsure of what info to include as I am new to the whole Website thing...

    Thanks - I found them - looks good, my only suggestion may be to use a slightly smaller font, for materials and instructions, to get more information on the screen at once, without having to scroll so much. I understand the want for a large font, my eyes get worse every day, but my dollar store reading glasses are a must for surfing already.

    Also, I personally would prefer a larger picture. The two I see, are too small to really see anything, and when I click I get a bigger, but slightly blurry view. Maybe there is a happy medium.

    looks like this will be a great site and resource. Great job!

    Unfortunately, with those two pics in particular, that's as good as the pic is going to get for now....I only have a $50 cheapie camera and can't afford a better one at the moment. I tried several different angles and different lighting, but because the items were small and my camera doesn't do closeups at all, that's the best I can do for now. Thanks for your help!!

    Hi Netta,

    First let me say thanks for sharing your decorating / crafting know-how with fellow crafters. So many folks are understandably reticent at sharing their skills. I appreciate it when others share.

    I like how you describe the step with all its cautions. It's helpful to desribe the process rather than just list the direction.

    Now for the suggestions you solicited.

    First - I tried clicking on the words for the craft before clicking on the icons. Perhaps you could also link from the words?

    Second - Would you consider a pic of the project instead of the icons? I'm sure it would entice me more than just the icons do. Still, I'd probably look anyway, but having the pic out on the link page allows one to bypass those in which she is not interested.

    Third - I've seen on some craft directions an indication of skill level (which I don't care for) and the time it takes to make the item (which I DO like). You may choose to consider one or both of those options, if you like.

    And last - I looked at your pinecone ornaments, which is on Christmas Page 2. My option at the end of the page took me back to Page 1. I think it would be better to return to the page from which I clicked - Page 2 - rather than to backtrack over things I'd already seen. Agree?

    Thanks again for doing this web site. I'm bookmarking it to look at later when you're further along in its development.

    Oops - something else I just noticed. There aren't any links to get back to your home page from your link or direction pages.

    I know I can use my back button, but a link would be helpful.

    Thanks again!
