Valentines Day Special

Technical issues arose at our last Product Party and Prevented us from giving away our free gift. It was frustrating. I'm still new to figuring this thing out so thank you to those who helped me realize there was a problem! Namely my grandma, and my mom. 

Sets and collections were displayed only from The Pink Explosion Collection, and the Power Collection. These items are currently being sold on the Kana Wear shop at www.kanawearboutique.com 

The Pink Explosion Collection

The Power Collection

Anya's Mini Collection: Birthday Add On

Anya's mini collection continues to grow as she creates more designs, and I can't Express to you how proud I am of my big girl! As I grow and learn I teach her. One of the things I taught her about 3 weeks ago are a few tricks in visual merchandising. Like any Parent I'm just showing her the ropes as I learn, but the other day Anya stepped it up a notch. 

To you this pair of earrings on a tent in front of a colorful background is probably no big deal but this came only after I showed her how to do the black background. My daughter loves to color like any other child her age, and she'd asked me for these adult coloring pages. After completing one she used it as a background for some earrings. 

I'm glad she continues to grow in ways I didn't expect! I can't wait for my Mannequin heads to come in the mail because I want to see what else we can come up with to teach her. 

The latest addition to the shop includes this lovely set that was handcrafted by Anya herself. In honor of her 8th birthday celebration on Feb 8 she's selling these sets for $8.00. It comes with 3 bracelets (2 solid colored, and 1 with special design) and a pair of earrings of your choice from the mini collection. 

Art Classes 

To sign up for our biweekly Art class go to www.kanawear.com! Personal Lessons are still $25/hr and Biweekly art classes are only $10 per person. If you have an organization such as an afterschool program or a camp and you want me to come to teach I do have group rates. I don't teach any more than 20 students at a time. So keep that in mind and we can discuss a schedule and paperwork over Zoom, a regular phone call or whatever you decide! If you need an idea about what art class will consist of here is a YouTube from The New Creature Fashion Channel! Remember to Subscribe! Every 4th Friday is Kids week where I make an update on YouTube and our New Creature Kidz blog!

Biweekly Classes $10/per person

Personal Art Lessons $25/hr

Group Rates (20 student minimum): $185

For the most part when I say Personal Art Lessons for $25/hr, I'm referring to students learning Fashion Drawing, Entrepreneurship, Sewing, and other techniques as well. 

Join the Discussion

We hold biweekly Product Parties so our next LIVE event is on Feb 20! Come to think of it, the following week is Valentine's Day. Every day is a wonderful day to Love in my opinion. A day centered around Love should reflect God because God is Love. With that being said, he wouldn't forget you so why are you discounting yourself if you're single. Go love yourself, treat yourself and I'm not talking hair and nails and your favorite candy. I mean proper self-care! Cause trust me, once you do have that wonderful family so much of you will have to be shared with others that sometimes those moments of solitude can be missed. So whether you are buying for you or for a friend, a person you admire, a spouse, or a lover we have the sale just for you

All hoops, all Twisted Elegance, all Chandelier Earrings are 2 for $10! This is usually a regular deal but this is the last time I'm making this sale available on a consistent basis because I'm raising my prices after Valentines Day. Making jewelry is a labor of love and selling the things I take time to create so cheaply actually needed serious evaluation. I've been told since my youth that I need to reconsider pricing and make them higher, and I'm going to raise prices a little, and only do these deals when I'm holding a sale. Don't worry I still stick with the idea of affordability for my customers, but this time I'm going to get more for my time. So Buy now while you have a chance! Other Sales include the Red and Pink Sale and the $15 set sale!

Any Single Pin earrings Red or Pink are now $5

Valentines Day Special! All Sets sold for $15!

Looking Good

In the latest news concerning Kana Wear and its websites, I'm working on beautification! Last week we held a Product Party on Facebook where no one showed, and a lot of things seemed to go wrong. Faith (my 2 year old) came on in the middle of the live. She popped the bracelet that Anya made her and preceded to slap Anya in frustration! I know running a business and having children isn't easy and I guess I got what I signed up for in having kids. 

Although I was incredibly frustrated I figured out a way to display my work, so we got one thing right though! It all started with these beautiful purple earrings. And then another, and finally everything on the site was rebirthed from a painful moment. Anya even had a chance to learn visual merchandising in the process. 

After realizing how beautiful the earrings looked on display, I began going on and creating some new looks on my shop website. I changed up the theme and I added some sets as well! 

All sets are $15

My daughter even joined in the fun and wanted to make her own collection, and look appealing so here are all of her designs at once!

Anya's Mini Collection is also on our boutique website! 

Other Collections being featured are the Power Collection and the Pink Explosion collection!

You can order from any of these collections right now at the Kana Wear Boutique! They're all being posted as I type this!

New New New

So today I wanted to briefly discuss something about the Product Party that happened or was supposed to happen on January 9th. I went live briefly with my daughter and then I had to quit it because my baby needed some medical attention. She's fine but she did bump her head. There was no concussion but the fall to the ground had her adrenaline going. I am not going to reschedule the event but I will Say the next Product Party will be January 23. There will still be a giveaway and I will still be hosting alongside my Anya (for training purposes of course).

Today was an interesting day. After realizing that my other blog post already had a release last week I noticed I had not planned on doing anything with The New Creature Fashion Blog until I made my new website. I was working on some changes and it was because I recognized that my website only had a shop but not enough info about my services. Then I realized I didn't have a way to post that using the site that I had. The other part of the problem was that after selecting the New Host for my website I realized THAT host didn't allow me to have a shop! So to stay within my means I created 2 websites.

           

The Kana Wear Shop can be found at www.kanawearboutique.com

The Kana Wear Website where you can find information or sign up to recieve any other services please go here! www.kanawear.com Take a browse around while you're there. 

I've been dreaming of this for several years. It's not that I was afraid. I was actually looking for one singular site I could use to show my services and sell my jewelry on. Now that this step is out of the way,  I can continue to make improvements. 

Services I'm now offering include art classes for children ages 6-12 as well as personal art lessons. You can sign up for either on our website.

Bear with me concerning my shop. I'm making some modifications to the website that will help me simplify it for our buyers. It's been since 2017 that I've had my shop but honestly that website is difficult to navigate sometimes. I'll figure it out eventually and soon I'll open the shop back up for my buyers. Right now it should be set to on vacation. I'll update everyone concerning our next moves in 2 weeks when I figure it out.

Metamorphosis News: New Services!

In the year 2021 Kana Wear is ready to add on services to expand the brand. We are offering Art Lessons, and Patternmaking! We will still resume having our typical Product Parties every other Saturday and other events as well. To get a description of the services continue reading this blog!

Click the Picture to Register!!!

Art Class (Group of 5-10): Starting on January 15th I will be holding biweekly art classes. Only 10 slots are available but to participate in each class, and there is $10/per person charge. My deposit fee of $5 is waived because there's no need for me to buy supplies if everything is over zoom! This means you buy your own supplies, and you pay for your own transporta- wait that's right you won't have to drive or take a bus, because it's all on Zoom😉. That's why my $5 deposit fee is gone! And more than likely I'll switch between adults and children every session depending on who signs up consistently. Subjects in Art might include painting, learning different sketching techniques, and using different tools to create art. I may throw in some fashion design concepts but don't bet on it to be an all the time thing because this is a group session, and we have to stick to a central subject that keeps everyone interested. 🙌🏾 Last day to register is January 8, so mark your calendars!!!

Personal Tutoring in Art (one on one): 

These sessions are $25 for one hour and you can choose regular art techniques, sewing,  or even jewelry design. For $25 its your call I enjoy a more personal approach as an art teacher, and one of my favorite parts was going to every student and watching them discover more about art and how they wanted to express themselves. Focusing on one student is that much more rewarding. You get to see one of them grow without having to run off and check on someone else. I'm getting paid to play favorites! Yay!

To sign up for either one of these Click on the picture above to register!

Patterrnmaking Basic Block & Custom Designs:

$150-250

The basic block is the foundational patterns that you make your designs from. I provide these in standard sizes as well as personal sizes. In order to get a custom Basic Block made for you in your size, whether you are a designer yourself or even if you want me to keep it on hand for you for special designs It will cost!

To have your custom design made schedule your free zoom consultation and we can discuss the specific design you want made. I can make pants, skirts, etc. I'll try my best to create a pattern you'll love. 

Fittings:

To do a fitting I charge $20/hr. And yes it probably will take that long to get everything done and recorded on paper. Now after this fitting I can go on to drafting the basic block for you. Which includes:

*Sleeve

*Shirt (front and back)

*Skirt (front and back)

*Pants (front and back)

*Transportation:

Now I needed to put in this little sidebar so people know I'm not kidding. An extra $30 will be charged if I have to meet you somewhere. Whether it's to a church, your house, or anywhere public. I can take the bus, get an Uber, or ask someone for a ride but either way someone needs to be paid for me to get there to you when the time comes. Depending on what time that is I'll be masked and go through whatever protocols you have set up for me. If you happened to be reading this Post Pandemic then Praise God! We made it out!

Free Consultations

My consultations will always be free and I will not charge to meet with a client because it'll be mostly done over a Zoom or another platform like Google Duo. What we will discuss will be concept and design ideas, or if you want to take art lessons it'll be about where you want your lessons to take you. 

The reason I'm not charging for Zoom Consultations is because of all the other costs you may have to pay down the line especially if you're buying patterns and you're trying to get fitted for an outfit. Those things may cost you on their own, but to answer a few questions concerning services,  I'll always be willing to do that free. If you would like to schedule a free Zoom Consultation click on the link, fill out the form and I'll be back with you as soon as I can! Just click this image and it will take you where you need to go. To schedule an appointment!

Product Parties:

We will be continuing Product Parties on January 9, 2021! All requests for custom orders are still being accepted! I know you all miss supporting this business and I heard all of your requests! I've had a rough couple of months and I've had to start and stop a lot but I haven't given up! I'll be introducing a new product and displaying it during the product party! It's going to be a surprise! Spread the Word and share this update with friends. It's been placed on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter!
