Euthymic Threads: The comfort of a quilt in a small, wearable package.
I've been selling fiber art in a brick and mortar store for about 10 years, but we weren't getting the type of traffic we used to get. I wanted to increase my independence, portability and expose my art to buyers from around the world. I started with a well-known on-line selling site, but then I discovered Etsy. I love Etsy! Etsy has so many beautiful hand-made items for sale. I am proud to be a small part of the bigger Etsy community. I lead a team for other pin brooch makers and it is fun to welcome new Etsy artists from around the world.
I am now an experienced Etsy seller but I still love the experience. There are times that I am less active and times that I am almost obsessed. That is one of the beauties of Etsy; it can ebb and flow depending on what is happening in other parts of your life. I still find Etsy fresh and interesting! So many interesting people to chat with! So many beautiful and inspiring art pieces to enjoy and purchase. As I update this, I am wearing a beautiful bracelet from an Etsy shop in the Ukraine. It took a little longer to arrive, but it is so fun and gorgeous. It is fun to think that I have connected with someone in the Ukraine as I wear this bracelet.
I just wish I had more time to create, photograph and list all of the various creative ideas I still have floating around in my head. Every time I connect with Etsy, new creative ideas come to my mind.
