Marukuki online store on Zazzle

Graphics for Marukuki store on Zazzle, the other accompanying store for the original Coordiration journal, and currently in need of re-design (again) due to the service providers' change in the base store system, unfortunately. There's that dreaded black gradient looming there on the header image now, that's slowly becoming the plague to more and more of the community sites - flickr, facebook, google+ (death of pastel colored designs that, I'm afraid).

Their recent updates also made obsolete all the work I put on dispaying the store items nicely on subcategories page *dang it*

Should mention it here, if anywhere, that the mostly all too neglected Marukuki blog on the Japanese blogging site yaplog! sports this same gingham style (now, there's a user friendly and widely customizable site, if you ever saw one!).

Start for a new blog

Starting a new blog I've been needing for a long time: a proper place to post and archive the less cutesy stuff I make and observe. Hopefully it'll also serve a purpose of keeping me visibly more online active too, when working on things other than the girly pink stuff most of my online outlets focus on. This here is one such 'other' project and a fine start for the new blog:

Coordiration Christmas card collection 2015

Been making these sets of Christmas card templates for the past few weeks. They're finally published now and available for viewing and order in the Coordiration store (* . Each card and it's accompanying labels, stickers, postage and such are customizable and allow you to add your own photos and messages to them. You're most welcome to come check them out and try them with your own photos :)

(* re-purposing the old name and address, as the girly cute stuff has moved under "Marukuki" name. "Re-branding" of sorts if you will. Going to be confusing with the original Coordiration Livejournal address, which still serves as my main 'hub' of all things pink, but that's way too dear a location to move elsewhere. Quite too much history there.
