Fish Sticks and Green Jello

Awhile back I wrote asking for store name suggestions. I got some interesting feedback on how to come up with names and urls. I finally decided on something a little while back but never got around to posting about it.

Spun Sugar

There you have it. I also now own www.spun-sugar.com. The non hypenated dot com name was taken by a baking co. in Berkeley.

Why I chose the name: Spun Sugar is that hardened sugar decoration they put on fancy desserts. It's also what Cotton Candy is made out of. Cotton Candy being pink and fluffy. Pink, a color I like. Fluffy, like... bunnies. Yeah. Anyways you get the picture.

I love the name actually. Now for the hard part. Doing something with it. The key thing here would be to get a partner. Doing this on my own is rough, particularly when I have other things going on in life that demand my attention. I'll get to it eventually.

I'm hoping one day my friend can design a logo for me, then eventually a site, then eventually some stuff for sale. When I have more time I really want to take more jewelry, beading and glass classes. Hopefully I will be able to eventually.

Oh, I have a myspace page too! You can find it here at: http://myspace.com/spunsugar.

This is the first time in years of trying that I've come up with a concrete name and concept for something I would like to do that I think could really go somewhere. Wish me luck!

P.S. I used the Lucinda Handwriting font for the text on the splash page for my website. It's not working on my current setup though. If you can't see a nice handwriting font and instead you see a boring plain old font, let me know... I should make the writing a graphic instead when I have time.
