Fantasy made real.
I've been drawing and creating anything since I was old enough to pick up a pencil and a paintbrush. As the years progressed, I began to market my artwork to others. At first it was small drawings here and there, but I widened my abilities and started selling more. Back in 2005, I decided to try and start my own eBay business selling my artwork and other little nic-nacs. After a few years of trying, I finally closed up shop there. My guess was I was either not experienced enough to draw in the right crowd or I just wasn't getting seen. I let my skill grow and in the beginning of 2012, I found out about Etsy. I was leary at first because I wasn't for sure if it was going to be like eBay again, but in November 2012, I made the decision and opened up shop here.
Etsy has been a wonderful experience! It has widened my audience and has brought in more sales in the short time it has been open than the entire time I was on eBay. My buyers are all so wonderful! I honestly feel I'm at home here.
