I did make those little crochet figures. A friend's daughter asked if I could make her a star wars figure, so I made some out of yarn. Then I had this idea to use thread, and I started making these 2 inch figures which are much harder to make but the end results are so much more fun. You can find th...

Great advice, Danielsetton. I was inspired by Krys to start my etsy store, and finally listed some items over the weekend. After I did that, I started reading the Etsy Seller Handbook. I really should have read that first. Lots of great advice from Etsy there. Lots of room for improvement. m Celia f...

I ended up not supporting Olo because I checked back after campaign ended on April 20. I'm still watching because they raised over $2 million with over 16,000 backers.

Looking forward to hearing more about your journey as it sounds parallel to mine. I have made and sold jewelry at a local Open Studio once a year for the past 6 years, and people always ask if I have an etsy page. I signed up but never went as far as creating a store.

It only costs $99, and they have raised $1.4 million (Goal was $80,000). I am not sure a smart phone has the precise light to do this, but if it real, I really want one! over 10,000 backers already, and the comments are a bit worrisome. I'll be watching this to see where it goes.

But those t-shirts also help spread awareness of the Cause and it is always nice to get s...

I started at Kicktarter with Formlabs 3d printer in 2012 . It was exciting to have it be successful. I sponsored some other fun little products like Bunch of Balloons, and a 3D pen, but my favorite was being able to support last years Chicago Fire Festival. It was a great event that I will never for...

I'm in the Boston area, but born and raised in Honolulu, HI. Any other ex-kamaainas here?

I've been following CrowdCrux for some months, and wasn't feeling ready to contribute to a forum. We are still not ready to launch our non-profit makerspace funding project, but I decided there was a lot I could learn for the makers I work with. I have often wondered how you keep up with your conten...

Hi Sal and everyone. Day Job? I was most recently product manager with a CAD/PLM software company and have worked with many product design companies over the past decade. Passion Projects I want to refocus on areas of STEM, makerspaces and crowdfunding. Right now I'm trying to get a makerspace set u...
