Donna's business name...

So, I need a business name in order to sell my art/crafts, other artist's art/crafts that I accept on my web-site and sell my other services like graphic art/design and web-design. That's a TOUGHIE! How do you encapsulate that into a quick, easy to remember name inside of a couple of words that are catchy and EASY to remember?

HELP!!! So, let's blog this and brainstorm (which just means throw up a lot of words and ideas) so we/I can pull something out of all of it!

Think easy and catchy as in PayPal, BestBuy, QuickBooks, TurboTax...

But think about what I do and what I will be selling: decoupage, stained glass, mosaics (tile and stained glass are medium - on wood or glass surfaces thus far), altered art (aka: mixed media), collage/photo montage, photography and then there's Visual Communications AND Digital Art/Graphic Design/Web Design!


some words and names:

photomontage
composition
collage
compositing
visual art
found art
assemblage
patches
piece work
donnaism
mixed media
uncommon
scissors
nippers
scorer/scored
cut

TheGlassNipper (tho I don't just work with glass!)
Glue-n-You
ArtScore
ArtStore (could be used already)
Acutabove (could be used already)

How One Author Is getting People to Talk before his book is even published!!!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470405503?ie=UTF8&tag=doyomama-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0470405503

Pow! Radical new methods for reaching jaded, cynical consumers
Put simply, when it comes to your business, your new idea, even yourself, this book can be the difference between a "Who cares?" and a "Holy cow!"
Business, both big and small, is in desperate need of new ways to inspire bored and cynical consumers who have grown weary of the same old song and dance. In today’s information economy, it doesn’t matter how many people you reach, but how much attention they pay. And the best way to get attention is with the powerful, but largely misunderstood, element of surprise.
Pow! Enter Andy Nulman with the art of surprise marketing. An explosive new outlook, surprise marketing solidifies the bond between you and your customers like nothing else, and keeps them coming back for more by providing a continuous flow of what they never expected. Pow! Right Between the Eyes reveals the secrets, theories, and tactics of surprise marketing, and wields outrageous real-world examples (and even more outrageous tools like "The Lubricant to Yes" and "Euphoric Shock") to help expand the boundaries of the extreme and create a bigger bang for bigger profits.
