Becoming and Getting Inspired









Etsy's featured sellers


For the last couple of weeks I've been contemplating about starting an online business on Etsy.com. It seems to amaze me when I read stories about artists starting up on Etsy and able to make a living and a loving life out of it all.

Before I start a store, I don't know what I should sell or promote as an artist. For one thing, I know I am a graphic designer and love to create cute graphics. I have sewing, painting, drawing, coloring, jewelry-making skills. But its hard to come up with something that you think people would actually like to buy and appreciate. Also I would need to make sure what I am selling is high in quality and will get noticed.
I've been inspired to start a store up but I don't know what should firstly represent what I am as an artist. Above, I've posted up art I've been doing on my spare time. I do think I have gr eat potential to sell my artwork. Hope I get going on m y goal of opening up a shop.
