Etsy Continued

Likely because of my current type of items I sell (crocheted wire necklaces), I sell slowly. I don't have a lot of time for promotion, though I have made several pieces that need to be photographed and added. Simply listing seems to bring in a sale, so getting more listed is on my 'things to do'. My shop: www.kettaconvolutia.etsy.com

Up until recently I worked at the Mill End Store (http://millendstore.com/), a massive fabric store in Portland, OR. I left recently to head back to college to pursue my long-time dream of delving deep into a biology degree; a subject for another time.

As a result of working there, I've encouraged several employees (as well as discovering a few others who were already on Etsy) to join Etsy. It's such a great place to start, particularly if you've never sold online before and you know Ebay isn't the right place, as well as if you've no experience setting up your own site (which I still don't).

I wanted to give a couple of them a little nudge. There's Nic, who is a multimedia artist. He has acrylic painting originals, magnets, and some truly wonderful sculptures listed. www.hollandarts.etsy.com. Then there's Ruth, who is a fantastic, very very talented artist who has had her art featured in several greeting card series, art stamp series, and also makes her own patterns. She sews perfectly and does a lot of stitched art. Currently on Etsy, she's got some of her original and very cute patterns listed. I keep encouraging her to do more! www.bingbangdesigns.etsy.com.

At the least, check out their sites. Very much worth the time.
