New ideas have come to me about can/cap sculptures, so not quite ready to list things for sale on Etsy yet. If I go forward with them and make enough stuff, I'll try selling at the Mandeville Trailhead Community Market one weekend in October or November. The ideas will allow for a range of prices that will hopefully help to make some sales.
As far as Etsy goes, I've moreorless decided to let all the listings expire. The link will always be good, but only my favorite listings from other sellers will show unless I decide to list my personal items again. The investment is minimal, but it's just one more thing that takes up a lot of time and isn't getting the return I hoped for. Maybe if I'd figured out and allowed international shipping that would've helped make a few sales. Who knows. The site is just so full of crafts people and artists that listings get lost in the mix - a great problem for the creators of Etsy to have, however.
The website will get built and be up by Christmas for sure. After my return from travelling, I will make myself sit down and finish building it with the help of my former webmaster. The address may have to change a smidge, but we may also find a way around it. Alternately, if anyone has a recommendation for a cheap website building human who could get it all done for me in a weeks time, I'll go that route. By cheap, I mean, they just want some more experience to add to their resume and will do it for an art trade, or less than $50.
Wishing everyone a great week! The Olympics have been thrilling to watch, but the sitcoms on NBC are biting at its heels to get the new seasons started. Looks like Mon-Wed nights I'll be wrapped up in TV land ;)
