Working on a fluorite wand. I prefer working with thinner leather but that was all I could get

Autumn wand

This is a lovely hand painted wand inspired by the fall season. It has a citrine crystal at the end, a leather wrapped handle and an ombre shaft going from red to orange. It measures about 14 and is one of a kind. All my wands are handmade and thus are not perfect. I do my best to give you the best

If anyone’s looking for some autumn shit I got a wand

I know the pandemic is hard on everyone.  My service dog has had a medical emergency that racked up over $2k of vet bills, another pet needs surgery and I need to save up for a new art tablet given I’m switching my major to 2d animation.

Taking the shop off vacation on Etsy cause I need some income n still have a bunch of wands on hand. Customs are down for now as I can’t get supplies.

Handmade wands made with heart

Etsy is bad so I moved!

[heartstringcrafts]

  I might be changing from Etsy to somewhere else.  Out of a $35 order I only got $18 and that doesn’t even break even.  Even with shipping I don’t know where the rest of the money

Etsy is somehow being even worse, do not click etsy ads

Etsy is now forcing shop owners to be part of their ads. We can not opt out.

To anyone who buys from etsy: DO NOT EVER CLICK THEIR ADS

They are rolling out a program where if you get a sale from an ad they put out, they’re taking 12-15% of the profit(probably on top of the like, 5%ish+ they already take). Even worse, if you have clicked an Etsy ad in the last 30 days ANYONE YOU BUY FROM ON ETSY IN THAT PERIOD WILL BE BILLED THAT FEE. 

So please, if you see an ad for something you like off etsy, do not click it. Just go on etsy and search for it.

This is somehow worse than what storenvy used to pull. 

Please go directly through an artist or see if they have their own storefront (I use bigcartel) instead of purchasing off etsy. And if you must, just please, please, never click an etsy ad.

[plushmayhem]

Just to avoid any confusion, we’re talking about paid ads bought by etsy that will be hosted on google or facebook and be associated with Etsy themselves. This example is from Kikidoodle on twitter of what it looks like when you google their stuff. 

Clicking This WILL penalize artists. Clicking links shared by artists when they’re advertising their own things on tumblr and social media Will not. 

Please don’t be scared to still share your favorite artists or cool merch! Just don’t click the ads Etsy is personally buying space for!

Also a note, people who make under 10k annual are allowed to opt out! But make no mistake that this guillotine will eventually come down on them as well, Etsy loves to soft launch this kinda thing :)

Remember when they added fees to shipping costs? And then the next year they said hey why not just add the cost of shipping to the product so we can lie about free shipping? You’re paying fees either way so why not? (also we’ll penalize you for not offering free shipping sooooo)

Etsy LOVES to soft launch this bullshit. This is phase 1.

Bone wand

This listing is for a handmade bone wand. The handle is leather wrapped in a neat pale brown color and the shaft is clean white. Both wands are 13 long. The first variation has a chicken bone attached to the shaft. The second variation has two bones hanging from the handle. These bones are ethically

Got the bone wand up in shop!  $25 for either version.

Rose paint with rose quartz wand. 13” long handmade. Very light both in energy and weight. $20 if anyone is interested.
