What IS Relative Type?

So, what is Relative Type going to be about? Well, I tell you. I thought about opening another booth when the one I have at ARTifacts closes. But then I thought that was just a bit nutty for me right now. Starting a new job, summer with kids at home, still making our new house have our "touch" on it, etc - I just don't have that kind of energy right now. But that thought made me so sad!

I have to create. I have making things. I have to find a way to share my creations with others. Plus, I have the tools to do so, and want to use them. I can't just stop! So I won't. I just need to decide what avenue I want to focus on, and do just one (maybe two) product lines. Maybe do some craft fairs, maybe one day sell on Etsy. That kind of thing. But what I really want to do is make something for YOU! I want to do special orders, make one of a kind personalized items!

I also want to do my step by step tutorials on here - showing works in progress and of course, DIYs.

So just to get things started, and while I finish up things here at the shop - I will share projects I have done in the past, and can do something like it again. Most of the items I make are one of a kind - so I can't do the EXACT same thing, but I can re-use phrases, use similar backgrounds, etc.

I will start on the things I can make and do later.  For now, here are a few things I have already done. 

 

LABELS!! Do you need labels for items at your home? Kids rooms? To mark your favorite food dishes that you use when going to parties? I can make you all kinds of labels, I even have chalkboard labels.

There is no restriction or limit to what we can create! More labels below...

This was a favorite creation! Very old exterior door, wonderfully chipped and distressed by Mother Nature and Father Time – you just can’t fake that!!  Then added the “WELCOME” graphic that I made.  I put it in the shop, and sold it within days.  I LOVED it!

Another favorite – just a simple plaque. 

What do these three things have in common that I will make into my future biz?  I am doing customize vinyl.  There are so many things you can do with Vinyl!  You can craft, you can tag, you can personalize, you can…, you can…. Endless possibilities! 

Wish me luck on my new adventure!  Let’s get RELATIVE!
