Je pensais depuis un bout de temps qu’il me fallait peut-être un petit shop en ligne. Oh, pas grand-chose, il n’est certainement pas question d’en faire un métier… Mais mes expérimentations me mènent souvent à me retrouver avec plusieurs exemplaires d’un objet qui pourrait intéresser d’autres personnes, alors autant les proposer!

J’ai longuement hésité entre l’ouverture d’un petit shop sur etsy et la transformation du site pour avoir une partie commerce. Etsy, c’est les marges qui sont décourageantes, et leur changement de politique récent et les grèves qu’ils ont engendrées chez les artisans a un effet assez dissuasif. Ouvrir un commerce sur ce site, ça voulait dire encore plus de travail de maintenance du serveur, des risques accrus de sécurité – qui engageraient potentiellement un peu de liquidités en plus – et un grand saut dans le vide en terme de connaissances pratiques et techniques, parce que, eh bien, non, je n’y connais rien au e-commerce.

Et puis à force de traîner mes guêtres dans le fédiverse , qui est une fédération de réseaux décentralisés de microbloging (pensez twitter), galerie de photo (une alternative à pinterest) plateforme musicale (du genre de soundcloud) et j’en passe, qui défendent globalement les principes de souveraineté, d’auto-gestion, d’open-source et de gratuité… Et comme des alternatives viables aux GAFAM et autres institutions numériques hégémoniques. Il fallait que tôt ou tard je tombe sur une plateforme marchande en accord avec ce genre d’idéaux communistes et communautaristes.

C’est donc sur artisans.coop que j’ai fini par ouvrir mon shop. Le site est un pur produit des grèves d’etsy, dont quelques vendeurs se sont regroupés pour donner corps à cet idéal de commerce qui protégerait les artisans, valoriserait leur travail par une juste rémunération et les mettrait à l’abri d’être jamais malmenés et exploités comme ils ont pu l’être par l’un de ces géants du e-commerce. Un indice de ce fonctionnement est contenu dans son nom : il s’agit d’une coopérative, au sein de laquelle les artisans qui y adhèrent sont partie prenante aux décisions et contribuent au fonctionnement de la plateforme, peuvent suggérer et apporter des modifications. Cette juste répartition étant inscrite dans les statuts de l’organisation, des dérives telles que celles qui ont engendré les « etsy strikes » ne devraient pas pouvoir s’y produire.

C’est un modèle qui me rappelle beaucoup ceux qu’a théorisés Chomsky, et j’ai vraiment envie de croire à leur viabilité. On verra bien ce que donne cette aventure! Ce n’est pas moi qui vais le plus contribuer à faire tourner la machine : mon stock sera alimenté quand je le pourrai, peu régulièrement, avec des objets variés et changeants : un jour il y aura un ou deux claviers, deux mois plus tard un tissu tissé main, deux mois plus tard un petit truc en bois ou un patron de couture…

Mais pour que ce modèle économique alternatif, en forme d’organigramme horizontal, puisse prendre son essor et devenir pérenne, il lui faut des adhérents et des clients, donc de l’exposition. Alors, pour une fois, je me livre à cet exercice pour lequel j’ai tant d’affection : je fais de la comm’.

Venez y jeter un œil!

Want to buy some cross-stitch patterns? New shop is live at http://stitch.website , hosted and powered by !

Currently available: ASCII table, TCP header diagram, and “be gay / do crimes / copy that floppy”. More to come as I revisit some old designs and whip up new ones, so check back if you like the vibes!

Also, if you like a design but want a different font or color palette, get in touch! Most changes like that are easy to accommodate.

Hi @penfount & other clever creative folks! Need help locating a thing I’ve seen before.

I’ve seen a bag/folio/hobonichi compatible holder for like, 4-5 ink samples (5mL+ medical sample jars) or holding other small vials. I believe I saw one that was leather with glass, but I’m not fussy.

I’m going to use it for FLAVORED SALTS since it helps with my (not ink samples) but that’s I think where I saw it before. Anyone got a link please please???

Please boost: the announced the opening of their beta marketplace yesterday!!

If you’re tired of ’s nonsense - racking up fees, prioritizing profits over artisans - this might be interesting to you. We’re working on building a better place for artisans to sell what we make.

Currently, the site is fundraiser items only. We’ve listed some knitted chickens to support the launch. https://artisans.coop/collections/vendors?q=Rainbow+Ravels Come check us out? There’s a menu option to give website feedback!

Something very exciting: has announced their beta marketplace!!

If you haven't heard of it yet, it's an alternative, owned by the artisans and supporters who will actually use the site. I'm so excited for it! I want to see it thrive. You can learn more here: https://artisans.coop/pages/about-us

The marketplace is currently fundraiser items only. So we made some tiny fundraiser chickens! If you'd like to support both us and the co-op AND get some cute chickens: https://artisans.coop/collections/vendors?q=Rainbow%20Ravels

Us, before: It would be so nice to make a fundraiser item for @coopartisans, but we don't have any yarn in the perfect colors to make, like, a hat with the co-op's color scheme...
Us today: 💡 TINY KNITTED CHICKEN

So, meet Prototype Chicken 1! I want to change a few things in the next version, but we'll definitely be keeping this cute little friend for ourselves. It's supposed to be Brook from the logo.
