It's been months. I'm trying to get more comfortable with this concept of social networking. I'd rather be "doing" my art, but keeping in touch and having an Etsy shop are important too! I spent hours today setting up my Etsy account and creating my first listings. I hope it will be easier from now on. It's really pretty user-friendly -- I just possess this inner resistance to technology sometimes. At the same time I'm still learning Adobe Photoshop Elements. Today I learned how to optimize my photos for posting to the web. This is a necessary skill for listing on Etsy. So all is well and I'm definitely making progress. Whew! I'm worn out, lol. My Etsy shop is called TextileKathARTic! What do you think? It's a little crazy, but there are thousands of sellers out there and just when I thought I'd come up with a clever, catchy name for myself, it was already taken. So ArtKathARTic is what I settled on.
I found this awesome wool sweater embellished with embroidery at the Clothes Less Traveled thrift shop earlier this week. I threw it in the washing machine on heavy duty cycle with hot water. Then to the dryer on high heat. Yesterday, I cut up the fulled (felted) wool and created this great bucket back and matching wallet. Isn't it awesome! This is my first Etsy listing.
This one's adorable too! I bought this vest a couple of years ago at Goodwill. I loved it and always knew I'd turn it into a bag. But it took me until now to come up with a great design. I made this one yesterday too! Feedback please!
Of the dominos I have remaining in stock, these are a few of my favs. I listed these on Etsy too!
Thanks friends for indulging me. Have a great weekend.
