Name my future business!

[mizarchivist]

The awesome ascikitty pointed me towards etsy.com as a place to sell my stuff, and I really want to make this go. But before I get started I need a name for my business!
Lead runner right now is "Tranquil Butterflies", however it would be ideal to have a name that is more inclusive for the other aspects of my crafting, too.

"Hot Librarian Craftworks"?

Not to negate the hotness, cause I concur with that...

How about Cool Librarian Works (which shortens to CLW & can be pronounced 'clue')?

:)

That has potential.
Woodwardiocom's suggestion, while humorous, entirely fails its saving throw on remotely "professional" and one that doesn't stike the right attitude for Middle American random person who may or may not buy earrings from me.
I like the "CLW" = clue, too. That's cute.

Well, you did say you wanted something that encompassed your entire product line (paraphrasing mightily) & everything you do, you do with 'clue'. :)

"Tranquil Creatures" ?

One caveat with etsy... there are a lot of people underselling themselves there, and a lot of customers who have come to expect it. Don't be disappointed if nothing sells at first, and do advertise elsewhere... you don't necessarily want to depend on etsy's existing customer base for your buyers unless you're willing to compete on price. (Don't get me started... here's someone else's rant (http://rightsidesfacing.efx2.com/view/63119/I-dont-know-whether-to-laugh-or-cry/) though.)

Be sure to put your pictures on Flickr, and get into the various art/craft/jewelry groups there (but only put for-sale links in your profile, not pic descriptions; Flickr's particular about commercial use).

Thanks- more on this in email, as it was going to turn into a long conversation, I suspect

Esoteric Designs?

That name seems pretty limiting. I hate to say it but if you're going to sell online then you probably need a name that will come up when people enter search keywords into things like Google or a site search.

So something like "Fantasies in Clay" or "Art Jewels" may sound pompous but if you want people to find you electronically (rather than see your business card on a table) then that's the way to go.
