So, Etsy was not as successful as I had hoped. There were many hurdles to overcome and without a large pool of cash it just wasn't feasible. Instead I have spent quite some time investigating other options and come across a similar service called Meylah. It takes all the good of Etsy and improves on the bad. I'm just getting freshly started there, so there isn't much yet, but you if you are interested in producing art, or anything for that matter, you may find it to be the right solution for you.
Check out my shop at http://meylah.com/Lucy
I am going to be (in the near future) using videos with my blogs and such, so you might want to begin following my youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/vegalightsmyway
I am on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/StonehavenULTD
You can also get updates on my facebook page for Weaving Magic at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Weaving-Magic/283322575108947
I also have signed up for Passionfruit. Passionfruit is a better way to sell ads on your blog or website. It's really simple to set up, free to register, and you only pay when ads are sold. Check them out at http://passionfruitads.com (and no, they are not paying me to say that - :D)
Finally the biggest announcement right now is the opportunity to sign up for a pilot program called Weaving Magic Art Exchange. More details about this and pricing on my Meylah shop!
Looking forward to getting back into things and blogging again about my art, inspiration, and creation process.
Take care of yourselves and each other,
