What motivates me is when other people and especially other artists"get " the message in my work, be it jewelry or other art I have created.Sometimes I get the opportunity to collaborate with another artists here on Etsy and share ideas and use some each others work ( with permission) to be included in a larger project . There are many stellar artist here in one place, following so many creative paths, I learn so much from them, and their creativity and willingness to share and help really spurs me on! We should have some kind of contest to spur on collaborate competition! A Creative Throwdown! I have seen other teams have a showing of yur best creations each week or month! That sound fun! And if our excitement brings out the best in us, that should reflect in successful sales! A win-win.
