Personalized Keychain: Buying A digital camera- what you need to know

Having a digital camera in my possession helped me to share my personalized keychains with all my friends.

It’s a mind-numbing task to buy your first digital camera. We can never be too sure whether we will be satisfied with it or not. So, when I went to buy my first digital camera for my personalized keychain craft business, I read a lot of user reviews for cameras that were within my budget.

One of the things that I wanted in my first Digital Camera, was that the digital camera should be one of the latest available in the market. I looked for those that has been heavily advertised and has been the talk of the ‘digital camera’ enthusiasts…The more the merrier. Well, hmm..this gave me a sense of ‘satisfaction’ .

Another thing that I considered when I went searching for the right camera was that it needs to look good, cute and funky and more importantly it needs to take good pictures. I also wanted a wide screen, with more than 5 mega pixel.

Size was also one of the main criteria that I was looking for in my new camera. I wanted a small and compact size camera. I wanted a digital camera that I can put in my pocket or hang it by a string in my neck. I was looking for small, cute and funky digital camera but with the best features that my budget allows me.

I bought my camera for RM1200++ and used it mainly to snap pictures of my personalized keychain, wirename keychain. The digital camera needs to be easy to use and has a simple system so that I can snap pictures quickly. However, I wasn’t worried about getting a digital camera with advanced system; every digital camera comes with a manual. I am a fast learner!

Last but not least, I was looking for a digital camera with an affordable price tag. The price was RM1200++, bought it with my girlfriend. We shared the cost to buy SONY CYBERSHOT T-20 (BLACK).

Since then my personalized keychains has reached so many people using the power of the internet.

Personalized Keychains

Personalized Keychains

Personalized Keychains are those little things that you see hanging on the wall with short chain used to tie together sets of keys or other items. Sometimes it can be seen on a school bag, on a handbags, sometimes you can see this hanging on somebody’s belt i.e. security guard, a janitor, shop owner, car owner, prison officer and .

Somehow I wondered who created this thing called “keychains”. Was it a trend or a necessity in the beginning?Who came up with this keychain ideas?

Come to think about it, I think that the people using them wants to make sure that their keys will be with them and would like to make sure that they will not lose their keychain by accident.

How many people actually had lost their keys before? I have...at least a few times.

Everyone uses keychains. I am certain that everyone in the modern society uses at least 1 keychain and brings it with them wherever they go.

I was brought up exposed to TV promotions and I realized that many times keychains are used to promote business and companies. Usually these companies will give away free keychain but these keychains usually will carry the company’s logo, brand name, and contact info.

There are so many types, sizes, colours, and shapes used as keychains. However, people nowadays tend to use keychains in their brand building. One of the cheapest way to build brands. Giving away free keychains is a trend nowadays because during the last few years, I see that more and more companies are giving away FREE keychains.

In the 1950s and 1960s with the development of plastic manufacturing method promotional items including keychains turn out to be more unique. Businesses could place their names on promotional keychains that were three dimensional for a reduced amount price than the normal metal keychains.

Keychains are small and inexpensive enough to become promotional items for bigger national companies that might provide them out by the millions. For example, with the commence of a new movie or television show, those companies might partner with food companies to provide a character keychain in each box of cereal etc.

In this last few years, I also see that keychains are more personalized. So many kiosk are selling keychains nowadays. Some of the unique keychain that I’d seen were a rice keychain. Name on Rice Keychain. This keychains come with a tempered steel key ring and a glass trinket with a grain of rice preserved in magnifying oil. We can write a message or name on this little rice! Some can inscribe up to 10 characters on each side of the rice.

This keychain is a Highly collectible item.

That’s how I came up with the idea of turning this uniqe wirename jewelery idea into my own buy bending it into keychains.What if they can have they phone numbers on the keychains ? I think this will lessen the accidental keychain loss.

Young Entrepreneur In Me...selling keychains

"You should sell this keychains online!"

said one of my friend who saw my wirename

keychains and was impressed with my new

found 'talents'.

What he didn't know was that I spent hours

learning to bend wires into keychains.

At first I was just doing it as a hobby but it

turns out to be my main 'niche' online.

People always said that when we are doing

something that we love, we will never 'work'

in our lifetime.

Is it true?

Some people thinks that 'work' is the hardest

things to do, work involve pain and sweat.

It involves our whole being.

Actually, It becomes the hardest things to do

when our mind and hearts are not into it.

Truth remains...as a man thinketh ,so is he.

The reason why many people don't like work

is because it involves pain.

People don't like pain.

They like to do it 'easy'.

Personally, I don't like the idea of working

hard too. I will do it but only if I don't have

a choice. However, although I said that I

don't like working hard, I was surprised at myself.

Why?

Because I found that I was working so hard

nowadays. I was working hard to find the

easiest ways to do things and if possible effortlessly.

Many of my 'teacher' online had shared

their ideas about 'LEVERAGE"

How to work less but make more money?

I discovered that the main reason why

we may not earn as much sales as our

competitors is that we don’t leverage enough.

Leverage is “ putting the efforts of 100’s

or even 1000’s of other people behind you

so they can help you push you forward to

do things you couldn’t do on your own” .

Quote 'Patric Chan'...

Nah..That resonates deep in me.

One of the reason I am not making as much

sales as my competitors is that I don't use the

power of leverage.

I was trying to do everything on my own which

in turn taking much of my time, making me

unproductive in some areas in life and etc..

There are millions of people around the world

who know how to become millionaires but

how come they're still stuck?

It's the same case how Patric's life was still

a failure last time although he knew how

to achieve success until he discovered this…

For your info, Patric Chan is a Malaysian living

in Penang, Pearl of the Orient.

Because of what he had discovered, he

became a millionaire, an author, an

international speaker, having holidays

around the world and happily married -

when he was just an 'ordinary' person

a few years ago.

Wow..that inspires me. An Ordinary man

doing extraordinary things!

So back to my wirename keychain venture

online. I was struggling to get my business

in my 1st year.

How to become an entrepreneur?

So many of us would want a business of

our own right? but many times EXCUSES like lack of time,

lack of money, lack the 'know-how' stopped us from

getting it off the ground.

Many of us spend so much time daydreaming

of a life much better than now.

Daydreaming will be just be a daydream without

ACTION!.

When I first started, I decided that I will start selling

something from my lists of handmade crafts ideas.

I am quite good with my hands and the tools and

material needed for making wirename keychains is

cheap and easily available in the hardware shop.

My Secret to Wirename Keychain is ....hmm..

Actually I bought an ebook online and learn the

tricks and

Wire Writing Secret .

This is how I started in wire writing niche.

After I learned the trade and I created

my own ways to write using wires and

turn it uniquely mine. I decided to find

my USP or Unique Selling Proposition.

After doing my own research online,

I discovered that most wirename crafters

are doing wirename jewelery like earings,

rings, bangles, necklace ,name pin and etc.

But I'd never seen any wirename keychain.

So That was it! I found it..eureka!!=)

I got it. I shall make wirename keychain.

People will be able to carry it with them

most of their time. And I will offer not only

name keychains but mobile phone numbers

as well.

Some people lost their sets of keys more often

than some people. So by having their names

and mobile phone numbers in a form of keychain tag

with their keys, it will increase the chances

that they will get their keys back if they lost it.

I decided earlier that this will not be a 24/7 undertaking.

I don't have to quit my job that I have now. By the way,

the job that I am doing now is a CALLING.

However, regardless of our circumstances,

starting a part-time business is a good fit.

I started my online craft business selling

keychains because:

1. I could use some extra income

2. I would like to see my ideas works

3. I got some extra times and a laptop

with internet connection

4. I'd like to find a way that the whole youth group,

from the church-could work together doing

something with their hands and creativity.

And the result is...

USD10 for up to 10 letters. Thereafter ,additional USD1 per letter.

Minimum order for International Orders is 100 Units.

Postage and Handling will be decided later.

Art's Critique?

What is a critique?

A critique is a formal or critical appraisal or evaluation of ‘something’, in our case, a piece of jewelry or component of jewelry. It allows an ‘objective’ person to give an assessment including, but not limited to, improvement advice and ideas. Ideally, the analysis should contatin both positives (this was good) and negatives (this needs work).

Structured critiques are an invaluable process for an artist to learn, grown, evolve, and an opportunity to help particpate in the same process for someone else.

General guidelines:

Try to be objective, while personal taste can play a factor, its not a major part of a critique….leave it at the back door if you can, If you MUST, try something like, its not my style, but..and then go on to give your critique.

Divide your critique into two sections if possible –

No improvement needed - what you think works well or is done well in the piece, and why it fits or works.
Suggested improvements – what seems ‘off’ and suggestions for what might work better or areas where artist may consider more practice or effort in perfecting the technique

For pieces which you honestly think are done well and you have no ‘areas of improvement’, considering doing a critique focusing on what elements seem to really work, bringing special attention to areas of technical or advanced excellence, this will help those with less experience learn and improve their own work.

Remember, its OK to pass…..if you find nothing compelling pro or con about a piece, let it pass. This is NOT the place for general comments such as “Nice work” or “Good job!”

Consider the following for critiqueing jewelry pieces or components:

Design (composition) and Technique (execution).

Design -
Composition
rhythm or flow
unity (do all the elements go together? Are they all handmade and if not, would the piece benefit from handmade findings, etc)
balance (weight, color, positive and negative space)
is there a focal point or is the piece too busy with no ‘eye stops’?
does the setting highlight the stones (if applicable) or does it overwhelm them?

Technique –
is it well executed (if it’s a herringbone wrap, does it look like one, or is it a tangle of wire?)
tool marks
sturdiness of overall piece (will it fall apart under normal wear? are any aspects suceptible to water damage?)
finished (are all edges filed, wire ends tucked in)
correct weight of wire for size of piece or heaviness of stones, etc.
If its glass, do edges appear clean, are there cracks, bubbles, etc (and pardon me, I’m not a glass person, we can revise this!)

In some cases…….
Originality – this is included because we all start somewhere, usually by completing tutorials for techniques which are project based. We create the item in the tutorial project. IF we are familiar with an artist and are looking for them to begin reaching BEYOND the basic “Preston Reuther pendants” or Connie Fox bangles” (and no offense to EITHER of those artists…I ADORE the connie fox type bangle!) then originality MAY be something we consider. But use this area with caution.

Finally --
Harsh words are never necessary in a critique.
Heed any specific concerns of the poster asking for the critique. (i.e if they ask about the bail, be sure to address the bail! If they don’t want feedback on colors (for WHATEVER reason) then try to ignore the color in your critique)
