After having so much happen the last couple of months I decided to take the plunge and get back into painting. I do polymer sculpting as well and even made a few shiny bobbles lol but painting and polymer are my two favorites. I took the plunge and opened an Etsy shop. I don't have much listed right now and think that I might head for bed if people want to eat tomorrow! LOL
If anyone has the time please stop by and let me know what you think. Any tips and pointers on the shipping part of it would be great. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and god bless. My links are listed below. Take care.

Lori--

Yes, it takes time, but the economy is hitting everyone! Sales are slow. You just have to get yourself and your products out there more often every way that you can! Your prices seem OK to me. One suggestion, Use all your tags or as many as you possibly can. Be creative! Use all the description that you can on your tag. Hopefully it will translate into more hits. Have you tried a spotlight? Good luck!

Could anyone please just stop in and take a look? Are my prices to high? I haven't even gotten an email or any feedback. Is that normal? I appreciate any constructive advice. Thanks!

I have worked with PMC before and actually made a few things from it. It's a wonderful product and really not that hard to work with. Just that the price of Silver really puts a kink in doing to much with it. I just used a micro torch to fire the piece when dry, then polished them, then used liver of sulfur to patina them. I like the look of antiqued silver personally so I liked this part. Then would polish the raised areas of the piece. Just beautiful when finished. What were you using to fire with?

Sweetpeas, you can hang the slate outside, they do have a sealer over the paintings but I would limit to a door area where they aren't out in the direct weather. Thank you so much for looking. Let me know if I can be of any help. Take care and hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I ate to much as usual and everyone left their food here! LOL

Hi Lori,

I was sitting at my counter in a turkey coma when came across your post, I love everything you have listed, especially your polymer sculptures. They are so beautiful ! I hope you have good luck and good sales with your Etsy store!
