What do you call us?
« on: June 20, 2010, 06:33:33 pm »
I'm making a business card to give out when I sell my work.  I don't really want to use the name "Scroll Saw Artist" because I'm not sure if people know what a scroll saw is.  I wonder if that matters though.

But anyway, if I didn't want to use that, what other titles could people like us have?  (be nice!)

Thanks!

"Goddess of Woodworking" is appropriate!  You always make beautiful projects!

Seriously - "Creative Wood Artist"  would be nice :)

We called ours CE Woodworks...Stands for Cherie Eppler woodworks.  Jaun does not scroll or the Eppler I guess can stand for some things that he does.  LOL

Janet, I don't see any reason you can't use "Scroll Saw Artist". If the customer does not know what that is, then explain what a scroll saw artist is!

I agree with Dgman, the heading on your card reflects what you do or what you are selling.
I head my card, JimPardoe woodturner and Woodcrafter, that will change before my selling season this year, but will still put my name up front as people like to know who they are talking to,
good luck on your new design and lets know what you come up with

I chose not to place my home phone number on my cards.  I give it to a select few people.

Hi Janet
Nothing wrong with name. Like the name Sheila came up with. Haven't got to making cards yet, but am pondering on making a website and cards. I have my name all ready Woodwormworkshop. My family calls me a woodworm.
Make some nice cards Janet and put a pic in here for us once you're done.
