I just saw this in another team, and thought it would be perfect for here!
************************************************************************************
The Etsy Forums used to have a "critique" thread where random Etsy sellers could offer critiques/suggestions to other sellers. Why don't we start with a fun/low-pressure exercise?....

"Go to the shop of the seller who has posted/replied above you in this thread. Pick out your favorite item, then post why you like that particular item."

For example, do you like the item because it fits with your taste, the colors, photos, description, or it reminds you of something, etc...? Aside from the number of hearts/views, this exercise may help us identify items with the most potential to sell!

This was a really tough choice, zehland, your paintings are beautiful! I had to go with this one in the end though:

I am a sucker for owls, and I really loved the colors you used here. His reddish-brown feathers are really stunning against the rich blue of the back ground. Absolutely lovely.

Borettoart, This one is great
http://www.etsy.com/listing/65542627/paris-original-painting-special-offer
I am a bit of a francophile, love the black and white aspect. I don't know much about art but I like the impressionistic (?) aspect of the human figures.

Funkyglam- I love this
http://www.etsy.com/listing/67660647/swarovski-pendant-necklace-a-round

I love aqua and green and so the color draws me in. I like the simplicity. I like a necklace that dangles- I like the rustic looking coppery metal.

I also like the photograph- it's lovely- well done. Nice!!

Re: Constructive Exercise: What's Your Favorite Item?

I like this item from Something Sea Blue's shop:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/64812301/something-blue-bridal-silk-pansy-sash

I like it because the colors are very traditional for weddings and it caught me eye. In gernal I like the sashs the best because the photos are the best and they look like they fit together and give the shop a conhesive theme. Fantastic!
