Hi!
I'am a painter from Croatia, Europe. I turned 40 this year, but I feel 12! I have 3 kids, 17 old girl, 15 and 9 years old sons. I would love to leave my daytime job in insurance industry (Yap!) and earn living just by painting.
I would appreciate any suggestion on how to do that :)

I've opened my shop a few days ago, and would like some honest feedback on how yall think it looks so far! :) I have about 1/3 items posted so far...so I'd like to get feedback and see what some of your favorites are as I post the rest.

If you can "favorite" your favorite item, I can get a good feel of what's really liked!!

Hello world! My name is Desiree, I live in the Netherlands and I am a entrepreneur. Due to economics, my Business in Family Entertainment is very slow, which gave me time to pick up on drawing and arting again.
I have done a lot of designing in my life, and I am starting to believe people when they say I should try to go commercial.
So I started my Card&Art shop a couple of weeks ago.
And I am learning loads of stuff here from you all! Thanks for all the great advice sofar and to all "Happy Selling!"

Namaste. I'm an artist, Priestess of Isis, and Energy Healer from Brazil currently based in New York City. My passion is to translate the messages I receive from Spirit into paintings that reflect my love of Goddess, to bring the medicine to those seeking to reconnect with their spirituality. I love painting Goddesses, fairies, animal totems and other magical beings. Even though I have been playing with drawing and painting, crafting, jewelry making and all sorts of creative things my whole life, it was only in 2004 that I started painting more seriously. I've been on Etsy since 2008 but only recently did I begin to take my store to the next level, in hopes of become a full time artist and having my own soul business be the sole provider of income. I am very interested in learning ways to improve my shoppe and using effective marketing tools to increase my sales.

Love and bright blessings,
Jade Scarlett

Hi, I opened up my shop about a month ago. Still trying to figure this all out.

I am a mother of 5, and my youngest, twin boys started Pre-K a week ago. I have 3 hours to myself in the afternoon, so I'm trying to back to where I was 12 years ago.

I have started with a line of inspirational stickers, hope you'll check out my shop. I have more to come, I like trying just about everything :)

Hi!
I'm Stevie, mother of two living south of Seattle. I have a degree in Sign Language interpreting and I'm also certified as a CGC evaluator. When my youngest was born I went on maternity... Which ended up being permanent after my oldest was dx'd with a digestive disorder and my youngest was dx'd with SPD and Developmental Apraxia.
Now I do a few things from home-mostly data entry and painting :) I'm excited to be part of this group!

Hi everyone!
My name is Laura..SAHM who Loves Sewing. Just recently opened my shop & looking forward to becoming an Etsy success:)

[MonikaWithaKCeramics]

Hello!

I've started my shop last summer, in order to sell some vintage stuff I've overgrown, so this gave me the idea to try to sell my ceramics too.

For me, ceramics is a beautiful hobby as I keep a full time day job too. Most of my work becomes a gift for friends and family who started to make custom orders for me, which makes me very happy, to develop an idea together.

Mozak na pasi, which became my pseudonym means something like "idle brain", that's exactly how i feel when building ceramics.. all my problems and issues go away.. :)

Lovely greets from Croatia, Europe
