Sorry, this was supposed to be posted yesterday. But instead yesterday, I decided to spend it all day in bed with sinusitis and an hear infection (second product of the first). Joy! After much begging on the phone with the doctor, I finally got some penicillin and…boy, [...]

bubbles2 Originally uploaded by Marian Florcita
Part of the session called “Experimenting, that is how we learn”, in this -smaller- wall hanging I was just trying to get 3D texture. The back of those bubbles are hollow. Amazing how felt, once it is settled, will hold whatever shape. I was looking for this little one this [...]

Thanks everyone for the feedback in the previous post.The item arrived in the end and the customer was super happy so that was that. However, it doesn’t change the basic question. Regardless of the size of the item, shouldn’t we make our policies stand and be followed. Isn’t that why we have them? It is [...]

Here is a question for all those sellers and buyers on online venues or e-commerce platforms… what to do when the intermediary, the postal service, fails you? Until today I had never had a problem with the postal service. I usually do not send packages insured because it implies multiplying the shipping costs almost 5 [...]
