Input wanted on new product ideas

What kinds of products would everyone like to see be added to the shop? I am working on new ideas and figured it would be a good idea to get more of them to toss around before the new year. Any particular tree pendants (stone colors/types, wire colors), herbal infused oils, salves, balms, spell dust, baubles, kits, or spell boxes?

I was considering putting together some picture frame charms that had small pictures of my paintings in them for some of the jewelry pieces I make.

This is an example of the paintings I have done/ am still working on.

The picture clarity is horrid on these but they were taken at night and are progress paintings.
This is 'Funeral Home for the Strange & Deranged'
The top photo is what it is currently at. I still have a few more details to add to this painting but not many.
It is done in acrylic paints on a 12x16 canvas.
the original may be up for sale at some point.
Better pictures will be taken once I have the availability.
If anyone is interested send me a message and I will let you know if it is available for sale.


This picture of the painting shows the color much better but I wanted to add the photo above since this one did not yet have the rest of the fencing done on it.



'A Grave Night' which is also done in acrylics on 11x14 canvas.
The original of this painting has already been sold.


This is another painting I have done that I could also potentially use as pictures in the charms.
Cherry blossom tree and Japanese mountain landscape done in acrylics.

This painting I am still working on.
It is on 11x14 canvas and features lily pads in a river, a dragonfly which has a painted body but the wings are real, and a lotus flower which in this painting is only an outline. It is in the process of being finished, its a bit farther from being done but more work has been done to it since this photo was taken.
This is also done in acrylic paints and will most likely be available for purchase at some point.

Red and pink Japanese cherry blossom branch painting.
Done in acrylics.

I would just like to know if the idea of metal frame charms with my paintings in them would be something that would interest anyone since it is a new idea to me.

I am also tossing around ideas for how I want to make my butterfly pendants.
I had planned on putting a real butterfly wing into glass vials,
now I am also debating finding glass frames to put some of them in but I haven't found frames I like yet.
So I may have both types of butterfly pendants probably during spring or summer if all goes as planned.
I have wings of all different colors and shapes.
(all butterflies died a natural death, no butterflies were harmed in the retrieval process)
I would like to know how many of you would potentially be interested in such pendants and what wing colors interest you the most so I can get an idea of what everyone is most interested in 
and if the glass vials or glass frame pendants seem more ideal.


Also I am considering at some point making a batch of red rose lip balm.
Would anyone be interested in seeing me make a batch?
If you have ideas for other herbal lip balms that you would like to see in my shop
feel free to mention them to me.


I am currently able to take custom orders on many products. 
(Just about everything listed at the top of this blog could be made into a custom order)
If you have something you would like made, an idea on something (like wanting an oil or kit for a specific purpose but do not know what it should have in it) then you should send me a message with as many details about what it is you are wanting that you have (pictures of similar items or designs are always helpful)  and I will see what we can't come up with.

As well as any questions you may have you can comment on here, on my shops facebook page, or to my email @ Lotus_Moon@hotmail.com
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
