So yeah. It's been a while since a good post was made here. Entirely my fault. We moved from Colorado to Virginia and it's been a journey, let me tell you, in more ways than one. Fitting our life into a new (smaller...) house has been interesting but I'm making progress. I even sold two paintings last week!
I'm going to make a MUCH more concerted effort to remember to update my online presence. I'm here, Etsy, Patreon, Facebook, Instagram, Redbubble, and Society6. I've got to get better at photographing my products and remembering to list them AND market them AND package them so they not only look good enough to buy but ship to you safely when you purchase them.
I design greeting cards AND paint with acrylics and watercolors. I make beaded jewelry and handmade hair bows (the fabric and ribbon kind.) I adore coming up with quirky things to put on journals and pen pouches and making pens to put in those pouches. It's a lot. I often tell my husband that I'm good at creating things but not so much the selling part. And the thing that blows the mind sometimes is how long it takes from finishing a product to selling it. I'm talking the photographing, packaging, labeling, editing, describing, listing, sharing, marketing, and shipping...it is a lot.
Anyway. This wasn't meant to be a complaint. This was meant to be a candid post explaining why you'll often see things in person at my booth at craft shows that aren't for sale on my website or in my Etsy shop.
Soon to be listed: paintings and new snarky greeting cards. Because if you're going to send letters, make sure they're full of sass.
