When I want to relax, I love drinking coffee.
How about you?

リラックスしたい時、私はコーヒーを飲むのが好きです。
あなたはどうですか？
きっと「私も～！」っていう方もいるはず。。
ゆる～い時間をイメージしてもらえるとうれしいなぁ。



Coffee(Before)
This is my original mixed media art.
I finished drawing...but I felt there was something missing...and then,
I gave an antique look.

完成させた時、なんだか物足りないなぁと思い。。ちょっとアンティーキングしてみました♪

本日、とうとうZazzleが日本上陸！
Zazzleとはアメリカ発、Cafepressと並んで有名なドロップシッピングサイトです。
自分のデザインをTシャツ、マグカップ、トートバッグ、ポストカード、名刺。。など、さまざまな商品そ作成し、販売することができるサイトです。

私も実際に数年前から2つのショップを運営しています。
日本にも似たようなサイトがいくつかありますが、実際に使ってみた感想は、Zazzleが一番です。
気になる方、お試しあれ！

ちょっと気になるのは、私のショップは英語サイトで作成したものなのですが、これを日本語サイトで見ると、商品名と商品の詳細が変な翻訳になって表示されてしまうのです。。(泣)
そうです。。個人が入力したところはロボットの自動翻訳になってるんですね。
まぁ、商品名の下に「ロボット/自動翻訳 元の言語で表示する」と表示されているので、
「何これ？」って思ったら「元の言語で表示する」をクリックしましょー！

あと価格ですが、日本語サイトはやけに高い気がするんですけど。。。どういう設定なんだろう？
要確認だな。

まずは、取り急ぎお知らせブログでした～！

よろしかったら、私のZazzleショップに遊びに行ってあげてください！
