Hello everyone! First of all I wanna thank Mike for sending me the link to join this art group and now, let me introduce myself. My name is Leonarda, I am 22 years old and from Croatia, currently studying Croatian literature in Osijek. My idea of painting is now representing my feelings and thoughts through art. I know a lot of people sometimes feel similar or even the same as me, so I hope you will like my paintings. I'm still new here but I hope I will suceed and I hope you guys will suceed as well!

Hi guys,

I'm Yas at Overdozze Candle. I'm Japanese living in London, UK. I left my job in IT in 2019 and started to learn candle making. My Etsy shop opened just over a year ago so still many try and error to get more traffic (and sales of course!). Nice to meet you all.

Hi team,

I am Olena - refugees from Ukraine for more than 25 years ago, but all my relatives and friends are leaving in Ukraine under war with Russian.

I really want to help them if I can. I am on Etsy for ~ 12 years with my Jewelry as a hobby and now running companies to give 50% of my SALE to Ukraine (I know a lot of people who needs help right now and can not get to Ukrainian Red Cross for help). Unfortunately, my attempt to improve my sales is not working for 2.5. years already - I can not sale anything, that why I am asking for help - how I can improve my shop - critic, advices... are all welcome and Ukraine shell win only a lot off young people dying now especially children and elderly people - man are fighting - God Bless America! Please, help!

@CandlelightJewelry WELCOME TO THE ART TEAM!  And, I've added you to our Ukrainian support thread at: https://community.etsy.com/t5/art/SUPPORT-OUR-BRAVE-UKRAINIAN-TEAMMATES/m-p/137895667#M4277750

And your shop looks wonderful.  I believe you just need 2 things to help with your success.

1) JUST KEEP MAKING!  More items = more traffic = more success.  And this is very important as we enter the holiday shopping season (October-December.

2) TELL PEOPLE YOU'RE HERE!  We have advice for improving your shop at: https://community.etsy.com/t5/art/WELCOME-NEW-MEMBERS-OF-THE-ART-TEAM/td-p/139228997  Share your creations on social media.  Join our holiday sales party at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1934458910278595/people  Find ways to invite people to your store

Thank you Mike for warm welcome to the team and Ukrainian support thread. I have so many things to publish but lock of free time. Hurricane season is here in Florida Tampa now and I am American Red Cross Volunteer trying to help with disasters.

I want to send you some of my painting to get your opinion if I need to continue this adventure - just simply came to me as inspiration, but I am IT person.

Thank you again and talk to you soon.

Hello all,

My name is Falis and I’m pretty new here. 
I’ve had a lifelong art affair, but only started taking it seriously within the last few months. I’m currently enjoying learning new techniques and bringing my ideas to life - no matter how tough the execution part is.
I’m excited to join this community and bond with you all!
