As I sit here all cold winter with nothing to do but to eat and put on weight, (grrr...) I get to do a lot of internet surfing. This winter I really got involved with my artsy side and joined Etsy which is fun and I have learned much from it. From Etsy, I learned about DaWanda and joined DaWanda and began listing my items there, then from DaWanda I learned about Indiepublic which is like an artist's colony in the cyber world. I love it. Made a bunch of friends and I am having fun there. I feel like I am following a bread crumb trail somehow.
With the way the economy is, it is getting increasingly difficult to make a living out in the art/craft market. Ebay has gone to the dogs in this department and is slowly sinking in others. Etsy is Ok but not outstanding but I feel like with good management it will improve. I love the idea of a market for arts and antiques. They go together so beautifully and always has. Some sellers on Etsy don't seem to agree, but I don't care.
What else did I do today? Today was my DH's Birthday so I took him out to an indian Tapas restaurant near us. The food was as excellent as always. I can eat Indian food every day. It is my favorite cuisine. My daughter and I made birthday cupcakes this morning. emmm More food to get fat on. I have started on needle felting a white ferret. I dragged down a big bag of raw wool I had in the loft of the garage and pulled a handful of greasy wool out. I washed it and put in hair conditioner. This wool is so soft and white, it is unbelievable. I will enjoy working with it. My hands still smell like lanolin. Now I need to get some koolaid so I can dye it. I can't wait!
