Today I have finally listed my very first item for sale on Etsy.... yey!! Only one, but there will be more added over the next few days. I spent the morning, which was beautiful, walking through woods with Scout the dog, taking pictures to use in my listings....
So far, just the wolf is listed... the others will be on a.s.a.p.
It was beautiful just walking through the trees, all just a stones throw from where I live. How lucky to be able to stroll along and enjoy it all. I came across this growing on the trunk of a birch tree... now I have to get a book to see if I can identify this particular fungi.... it was very pretty.
Scout enjoyed herself too (although she got very hot)!
Right, now I'm definitely going to sit down and finish an EDM - hope to post at the weekend! x
Its been a while since I was in your blog, glad I found my way back. Love the animal paintings, they are really good, and congratulations for your first listing in etsy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings, and congrats on setting up an Etsy shop. I've always wondered how those things worked and if worth it to try. You had a beautiful day to spend in the woods, that's for sure!

ReplyDeleteYour Etsy items look great - congrats on your new shop!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome, and Congratulations with your new shop and hopefully the sales goes well too =) Thank you so much for your comments on my blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to frame and photograph your artwork! I wish you much success on Etsy. Your paintings are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely!! And I love the backdrops that you have chosen!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your etsy! Hope everything sells well for you! I think James Gurney had a post about that fungi, if I'm not mistaken. He said artists used to use it for sketching. If I have time later, I'll see if I can find the post and give you the link.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Etsy, your wolf looks really good in the photo and I like the beads on the 'hanger' bit. Let us know when the polar bear is on there!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the comments guys! Am a bit stunned tonight though (good stunned) because the wolf had been listed in the shop for just over 24 hours and he sold!!! So he's setting off on his journey across The Pond tomorrow when I go to post Ravelle's polar bear! I had to quickly list another item tonight and need to pull my finger out this weekend! Just hoping it's not 'beginners luck'!!
ReplyDeleteRaena I'd be fascinated to know about the fungi! I knew if I posted a picture someone might be able to shed some light :o) x
Congratulations Lesley on your recent Etsy sell! Your paintings are lovely- and I wish you much continued success. Scout is great too!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your Etsy store. Your sale has inspired me to jump in there. (I think its been years now that I've considered it!)

Do you know the bear of Pompon, the polar bear you show made me think of it
