Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumBead the Bern Grand Opening!
I opened my Etsy Store today! I'm really excited. Thanks so much for all the encouragement and feedback on my Bernie bead loom designs. Check out my store. https://www.etsy.com/shop/PecosRiverJewelry?ref=l2-shopheader-name Let me know how it looks. I had to teach myself a bunch of new things this weekend but I think it all came out pretty good.Here are some of the designs I came up with...
I'm also posting these on Pinterest under Crafters For Equality. https://www.pinterest.com/craft4equality/bernie-sanders/ That's a board I started after the Hobby Lobby decision pissed me off. I figured that board would have lots of Bernie crafters. I really want to get these designs out to other artists/crafters so we can all spread the word. What a great conversation starter these would be. I priced them low to be accessible to most but if you want one and you really can't afford it, let me know and I can work something out.
They're designed for the bead loom but will work with square stitch. I also think they could be adapted to any grid based craft like cross stitch, plastic canvas, Perler beads, etc. I'm going to start a thread in the Arts and Crafts forum, too, where I will be able to give people tips on how to use these. Bead looming is actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it and these patterns would be good for a beginner.
Please help me spread the word. If you go to the Etsy page you can Pin, or Tweet or Facebook these. Thanks again!

I'm ridiculously excited about getting my store up and running. I swear, I have been planning to open a Etsy store for years but I'm not that computer savvy so I kept getting frustrated and putting it off. This weekend, I just said "this is it." I taught myself so much stuff this weekend, about graphics and stuff like that, I thought my head was going to explode.
