Howdy!  Born and raised in Wichita, KS.  Married for 20 years, with 3 adults kids. In my spare time I like to crochet and spend time with family. Vacationing by the beach, we have been to Orlando, FL, Galveston, and South Padre Island. I am a newbie to the digital world. My goal is start small and hopefully replace my income at work.  I love my job,but want more freedom to do stuff and not be restricted by working for someone else.  I am excited to learn all I can.  Oh, I have a needy German Shepherd named, Reign!

@SimplePrintsbyDee WELCOME to Etsy and the ART TEAM!  It's great to meet you.  And we're looking forward to helping each other live our dreams.  And Reign will be great company while you create.

Hello
I have been dealing with sewing and sculpture art for many years. I love to produce very different models using the texture and patterns of fabrics. I have a sewing machine and I produce all products at home in my own room. Sewing is therapy for me.

Turkey is very rich in fabric. Many famous brands have their fabrics produced in Turkey.
I love to receive special orders from my customers, they can send me the models they want as pictures, any model, color and any size can be custom made.

It is very enjoyable to provide personalized service, and I am very pleased to prepare products that will make brides-to-be feel like princesses on their special days.

I am a sculptor painter, since shipping sculpture products is a bit risky, I started to share my drawings and products on etsy.
I live in Turkey. I was born in Istanbul, I live in Ankara. I graduated from Marmara University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Sculpture. I live cat in our cute house in Ankara. My cat female COCO. I produce my art with my little cat
I completed my master's degree by writing a thesis on "Converting the patterns of the ancient Anatolian civilization Phrygian civilization into textile patterns". Ancient Anatolian civilizations have always intrigued me.
Now I am producing by transferring it to my art.
I carry the old artistic ornaments and patterns of Turkish culture to my art. I reflect the mystical religious figures and rituals of my geography into my art. I especially use the words of Konya Mevlana Rumi in my works. I carry the motifs and figures of ancient Anatolian civilizations to my drawings.
I paint my designs with watercolor and gouache paints. 300 gr. I digitally produce hand drawings with high quality fine art printing on paper.
I use acrylic in large sizes, hand-painted on canvas.

@FunkyNTrendy WELCOME TO THE ART TEAM!  And congrats on your daughter!

Etsy search algorithm is unknown.  How it works is not public knowledge.  And it seems to change frequently.  One month may be amazing.  The next month is dismal.  But rarely does it just seem average (in my experience).  My advice is to focus on things you can control.

I see you're on social media.  That will help.  We have several activities for Facebook and Instagram.

Also, we have lots of Pinterest boards for you to share your creations.  Here are the one's I'd suggest for you:

Hello everyone, my name is Dana and I am a digital artist. I have been creating art for four years now and I made my shop on this platform last year. It has been a incredible journey. I am nineteen and currently a full time university student and part time artist :)))

Hello Etsy Artisans!

https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/DigitalSynthesis

My name is Justin, I hail from Canada, eh. Fun fact, most of us don't pronounce about like aboot. I have a nerdy, quirky and dark sense of humor that knows not boundaries. I do not descent from a line of artists or trades person(s). I'm really really good at nothing. I value knowledge and have spread my time over a great deal of topics and interests which make me great at nothing, but ok at many different things. Anything I know about everything is self-taught.

Of all my personal interests, photography has been among the most active over my life span. I suppose like an artist, I like to look something and see what it is, but also what it could be and analyze the impact of that thing on it's environment; past, present and future as well as the connection to people.

My Etsy shop is new, and so is my learning curvature on the platform. I took what I know and sculpted it into digital products to offer across an array of uniquely different uses. I create digital papers for crafters, texture maps for content creator's, photoshop brush sets as resource tools, and eventually customizable mock up design resources. I also added a few of my photographs for folks to enjoy in their homes as digital downloads and print from home. Dare I say... print from the evil soul sucking Walmart even. It's like the dark shadowy place from the original Lion King cartoon, we must never go there but we do anyway. 

Thank you for the invite to the group and the forum. I look forward to watching you all learn and grow. I wish everyone success and good fortune!

@TrevorsDogCollarShop WELCOME MARIE!  You've found the right place.  We have a lot of animal lovers here.  And you have a lot of fun designs.  Please let us know if you need anything.

[MikeKrausArt]

@BlackSatanDraws WELCOME!  You're very talented and we're looking forward to seeing more of your work.  And good luck at university.  You're already further ahead of most students by operating your own business.  

[MikeKrausArt]

@DigitalSynthesis WELCOME JUSTIN!  We love our Canadians here.  My family is from Quebec and grew up near the border in Michigan and still close in New York.  

You have wonderful photography.  And there's something special about being self-taught.  It allows more creativity and discovery.  A freedom to make mistakes and find the "right" conclusion.  

And it's wise to have a diversified shop.  To see what connects and is helpful to your customers.  And you will always be in demand if you're helpful.  THANKS FOR JOINING and looking forward to learning and growing with you.

Hi this is Nimmi K. Thank you very much for welcoming me in your community.  About me… yes I am a doctor come artist. Doctor is my profession and painting is my passion ( Not working as a doctor now a days due to residency problems). I have 2 shops on Etsy. One POD and other art work and digital products.
