Etsy Store Sneaky Peaky



My Etsy store is open! Well... sort of.

Due to my increasingly busy schedule, I've only had time to finish, photograph, and list a few items. But I have to start somewhere, right? In the next few weeks I'll have more items for sale (I'm working on some new cards today), and will offer custom orders in June.

In the mean time, please feel free to leave me feedback, suggestions, or (friendly) criticism about my store. Is there anything you'd like to see for sale? Am I missing any details in my shop policies section? Does my profile need some tweaking? Let me know!

Just give me time, time, time, time, time (Just give me some)

I've been very busy lately, and unfortunately have been neglecting my little blog. Updates and new artwork are coming soon, provided I can find enough hours in the day (and enough energy) to complete all the things on my to-do list:
  • I've started a new part-time job. It's good to have the money, but retail can really tire you out!
  • I'm making arrangements to start school again this summer. I've thought about going back since I got my BFA almost three years ago, but the timing wasn't right until now. Once classes start I'll be even more pressed for time, so I should feel lucky to only be worrying about counseling appointments and finding the time to get an ID card right now. Soon I'll be juggling classes, homework, and internships again.
  • My Etsy store is really close to launching! I want everything to be on the up-and-up before I open for business, so I'm patiently awaiting my seller's permit (and subsequently, my business license). This will mean making a lot more merchandise, and a lot less personal art, but at least I'm still creating, right?
  • I've also committed myself to making my mom two new bowls: one for the house, and one to give a coworker as a gift. (I should really get those done this week...)

Finished & More In Progress




Paper with sewn detail.



The "pocket" created by the origami folds are a great place to stash a small piece of candy!


Here's the next card I've been working on:

This one will feature some more stitched detailing besides just that on the background paper.
