Fly By...

Just a quick fly-by posting. Weekends are usually busy for us. We have a church conference that is televised and available over the internet, so we will be doing that and going out to eat. Tomorrow, Sunday, I hope to post a pic of the finished painting I showed below. I am really happy with how it turned out. It is larger than the other ones, so getting prints made of it to sell may be a little more expensive and complicated. We'll see. I am going to start working on getting some prints made this week, so they will eventually be available in my Etsy store. I am considering selling the original paintings themselves on Ebay, like I used to. I am starting to think that shoppers on Etsy don't want to spend over $30 for anything. I had high hopes that Etsy wouldn't be a garage sale art/craft site, but since so many people are selling items made with really cheap materials and/or underpricing, that is the kind of mentallity that has developed there. I refuse to use cheap plated metals that turn brown after a month, don't like plastic beads, and don't want to make jewelry that looks just like everyone else's. It seems like every other necklace on Etsy has the same brass bird, octopus,plastic rose, bee, etc. stampings that everyone is getting from the same place. Well, I blabbed on for longer than planned, so I best get going. Have a lovely weekend, and check back soon!
