I just posted a listing for a couple little chicken-shaped catnip toys! They're fundraisers for the #ArtisansCoOp: https://artisans.coop/products/brook-the-chicken-catnip-toy-fundraiser-for-the-artisans-co-op

The cat in this video is @RagdollAngel, and the specific toy is a prototype that she's claimed.

A reminder that we have some very cute little chickens and chicks listed on the #ArtisansCoOp shop! The ones in this video are Dagmar (the chicken) and Abdul (the chick).

A little story for a couple of the chickens we're selling! They're fundraisers for the #ArtisansCoOp, an alternative to #Etsy that's owned by actual artisans and supporters. The beta marketplace site launched yesterday!

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

If you’re tired of #Etsy’s nonsense - racking up fees, prioritizing profits over artisans - this might be interesting to you. We’re working on building a better place for #handmade 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: #ArtisansCoOp has announced their beta marketplace!!

If you haven't heard of it yet, it's an #Etsy 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

Artisans Coop is pretty interesting, and I hope it succeeds. But folks might want to take a careful look at the "Handmade Policy" and see how it applies to their own work.

"Workmanship of Risk" is an interesting idea, but seems a bit of an odd fit for digital or printed products which may be reworked through multiple iterations/snapshots without risk of earlier steps being negated.

It's the last day of the Grow the Co-Op Challenge! Today is the last day to become a Founding Member of #ArtisansCoOp. If you're tired of #Etsy's focus on corporate profits over actual artisans, you might be interested in learning more: https://artisans.coop/membership

To summarize, you can become a member-owner and have a vote in how the site is run, along with discounted fees and various other benefits. It's possible to become a member just with $10 and volunteer hours!

Boosts are very appreciated!

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 #ArtisansCoOp logo.
