So right now it's a very small shop with only 5 items, but it's a start....right? I kind of forgot how busy this month can get. I've been Christmas shopping for the last 3 days straight--I gotta big list, but I really do enjoy this whole Christmas thing.
But I was able to make 2 new pieces for my shop (how cool--I have a shop now!) They're on 4 x 12 canvases, and I'm so happy with them--
I just had fun with painting faces and collaging papers and combining my two favorites--faces and houses with some hearts thrown in of course.
So to get to my Etsy shop all you have to do is go to my sidebar and you'll see the link. I'm so proud of that--Theresa told me what to do : )
Or you can just go here. This is so fun!!
And another thing that I'm proud of is that I reached my other goal. Last year I had 2 goals--to start a blog and to open up an Etsy shop. Well, it's been exactly a year, but I did it!!
good for you, that is awesome!!
ReplyDeletewelcome fellow etsian!!

ReplyDeleteEtsy is a great way to sell..I especially like it because it lets potential customers see my work and if they are from another country, Paypal figures the conversions and makes it all so easy. Your work looks great and will show well on Etsy.
