Web Design Calling!

As you now, apart from being a freaky scientist, I'm a mad crafter. By now I'm interested in having a nice web (not the awful thing I made with googlepages), very simple but useful, wich will make customers buy directly and not having to write mails to me everytime they want to buy something. I think that having a proper web site would increase my sales, what do you think?

Is there anyone who would help me?? (being paid of course)

email me for your suggestions, dear web designers!

--------------------

Como sabéis, aparte de científica, soy artesana. Me gustaría tener una web en condiciones (y no el cutrerío que me hice con googlepages), algo sencillo pero útil. Es algo importante para el negocio, así que hago un llamamiento a los diseñadores/as webs que anden por ahí a ver si me echan una mano en esto (transacción comercial por supuesto).

Alguien se ofrece???

Needing some space...

I have recently moved to a new flat, and sadly all my clothes don't fit in the wardrobes... Also, I have lots of unworn or slightly worn clothes and shoes that don't suit my style or my body, so it's a pity to have them hanging or in boxes if there is someone who could use them. I think it's a nice way of being eco-friendly and having some more space in my wardrobe!

Have a look 'cos I'm going to be adding new items almost everyday, and you will find some treasures as Trashy Diva's, Stop Staring's, Custo Barcelona's, etc

Hope you enjoy! and buy... ;P

eCRAFTic's Hot Music Playlist...

Just rises my temperature... I like better Paula Cole without Missy Elliot, but this was the better choice on you tube. Enjoy...

To cut or not to cut...

I've been thinking for quite a long time to cut my bangs the U-form, let's say the Bettie Page way.

But this is risky, considering is hard to maintain, I don't have too much time in the morning to spend on my hair, and I have natural curly hair, so... I made a search on you tube and I found some interesting ways of getting this look without cutting, making everything easier and more versatile.



This is my number one! Easy as can be, nice, and works because I've already tried and nobody notices until they ask you! Thanks Lisa!!

The other option I stood for was buying a natural hair clip-on fake bangs! I bought it from the marvellous Etsy seller Vivka, and asked her to cut it the Bettie Page way. I'm recieving it this week, so soon I'll tell you how's the final result.

Do you have any other secret? Please share!

Chaos...

As I have said before, I've moved to a new flat, a huge flat where
I can have a whole room for crafting!

Let's see if I can make an eCRAFTic's workshop out of this mess...

Not a men's world anymore...

My world, from 8:30 to 17:30 (even few hours more, sometimes), has been a men's world through History. Science was a stronghold of men.

Take a minute and think... Do you really know any recognized scientific female? Apart from Madame Curie... of course. And why? Let me tell you that, indeed they have been minority; but the straight truth is that History has been also written by men.

Nowadays, fortunately the thing has changed. In my laboratory we are 5 out of 7, and the boss is a woman. This "world" is becoming more balanced every year, and that's really inspiring.

The European Comission has edited a book called "Woman in Science", a review of all most remarkable scientific ladies, starting from Hypatia of Alexandria, who lived more than 2000 years ago.

Hope you find it interesting. I also wrote an assay about this topic colaborating with my boy on a debate in a journal we edited along with some partners. You can find it here (in spanish, sorry...).

Really hope you take the time to read some of this stuff, enjoy it and leave your opinions. What a scientist's work is about is very unknown, so is nice for you to know a little bit about it!

Love you all,

Paloma
