A college friend* mentioned Etsy.com to me a few months ago. Since then, I've perused Etsy with some thoroughness. I've been impressed with both the site and most of the items I've found for sale. I also admit that I have yet to actually buy anything but I've marked several items for potential future purchase. And Christmas is coming up...
Anyway--and I know this is probably a bit premature but I'm pretty excited about it--my own Etsy store is almost up and running. I did set up a stop but I say almost because I have yet to actually post anything for sale. That part is in the works. I've been working to get some artwork complete and ready for posting. I wanted to have at least three pieces to sell and I've recently hit that goal. Just in the last week, I ordered a couple prints of each to see how they'd turn out. I liked the results.
So, I'm very close to having something posted. I plan on ordering a few more prints to ensure I have inventory beyond one. I still need to figure how I'm going to handle shipping and pick up any supplies needed for that. Finally, I should probably set prices for the artwork, too.
I'll post more information as it comes available. In the meantime, take a look at the Shady Dealin's shop. Looking won't take long...there's not much there
My one remaining question is with regards to the size of the prints. Here's where you can help. I'm taking an informal poll to gather my reader's thoughts. Take a minute to make your voice known. If you don't like any of the options, post a comment with other options. Rock the vote!
* Interesting trivia: This is the same college friend that was instrumental in getting my wife and I to go out on our first date. I am forever indebted to this friend.
