A new Treasury! All Creatures Great and Small. Don't forget to tag some of your pieces with EC6 so we can find you to include you in future Treasuries.

Here is an Etsy blog article on tags and "relevant search" descriptions on your items to generate more views:

Victoria. Up near the top of this group above the members list is a link "Send message to group". That should reach everyone.

There are 33 in this group, but only a few have tagged their work EC6 on Etsy so they can be found and promoted.
Any way to get the word out to those in the group who may not have visited here recently? I'd love to add & make a few more treasuries. The first one has had 200 visitors at least count. Great exposure.
Hunting people down by name, without a tag, is a bear...I tried!

Don't forget to add EC6 tag to your treasuries, too. Makes them easy to find and post, again, later ;)

You all are doing an amazing job with the treasuries! thanks to you all. I'll try to get one done tomorrow. In the meantime, if you are using the "Circles" option on Etsy, don't forget to "favorite" each treasury because that shares the treasury with the people in your circle, just like any item you "favorite." I've posted the treasury links on my FB fan page, http://facebook.com/hurricane.pottery If any of you are on FB, post your links, too please. There's also another group on FB you might be interested in. Although it's not strictly cone 6, it's very helpful. It's Clay and Glaze recipe sharing - https://www.facebook.com/groups/glazeshare/

Woo-hoo! Made my first Treasury during my lunch break, using my iPad. Wasn't sure it could be done. Hope I didn't leave anyone out.

Made a treasury with EC6 shops. Has everyone tagged at least one piece with EC6 so we can find each other to "Like" and add to Circles?

Tips for Members
If you just want to spout off, it is best accomplished as a blog posting. If you want to get more guidance and ideas from other members, ask a question as a new discussion topic. In the upper right corner of the lists for both types of posting, you will find an "+Add " button. Clicking it will open an editor where you create your posting. 4/16/2014
