Week 8 Getting Visual Part 2



Okay, I knew that there was a great deal of Papercraft on Youtube as I have browsed there many times looking for projects and information.  However, another business like mine?  That was a little harder, but not too hard.  I found Papercraft and looked for common links or business like names.

I found two fairly quickly, Papercraft museum:

And Papercraft inspirations:  https://www.youtube.com/user/PapercraftTV

The museum is pretty straight forward, but not very active.  I mean, it looks like something like my page might look like, at least at first, that is why I listed it here.

The Inspirations site is more home-style Papercraft I call it; photos, scrap booking, wall art and the like.  Not my line of Papercraft but the site looks well established.  Oh, you are going to love this…  I just looked up the basic statistics for each and the museum is more established, having 1,261 subscribers 872,018 views and joined Jul 30, 2008 whereas Inspirations has 785 subscribers,  11,429 views and joined Nov 8, 2012.

A good lesson on what appearance can do!

Okay, does visual work?

Stepping beyond what I just discovered above,  I discussed in my last blog that Papercraft is a completely visual art so video and photo are the prime methods of sharing.  I suppose you could have Papercraft radio, but I don’t think it is going to gain a lot of popularity – ever.

I was actually surprised by these two sites and many more.  I found myself lost is a world of links to more and more Papercraft!  I was getting out of control… 

I am looking forward to opening either a YouTube account or tumblr and sharing my works.  Then again, when I see what some others are doing, have to share that I was blown away…  There are some real detailed works out there! 

Spoiler…  I have always wanted to work for the miniature industry that supplies the movie industry…  WOW, how cool would that be!  Something else that hit me is that I may not make money out of selling my work, but, I could by links.  I hear that many people make some fair side cash by being a part of the linking world.  It is an option that just occurred to me…

So, which visual site am I going to use?  Tumblr.  After all, the opening pages says ‘follow the world’s creators’… :)


As a last note, I have tried to link my tumblr account to FB without success.  When I click the link to do so a window flies off to the right of my screen and I cannot access it… Using Firefox fyi…  I will look into this later but for now, I have twitter doves flying around my head!
