Ok! I have done it! I opened an Etsy shop selling prints of my illustrations. I covertly have been plotting this out. I ordered white mattes because I think a matte is a nice option if you are giving a print as a gift. I researched paper to have the art printed on. That was fun! I ended up with some beautiful cotton rag-just lovely- especially if you have always been a paper lover like me! I have also been arranging the work in files, sizing it and and generally spiffing it up over the last few weeks. Today I have been posting my first category "The Girls". I will have Children and Wine also. Girls, Wine and Children...hmmm, what does that say about me and and my girlfriends? ha! So I figured out how to list items, set my prices and loaded them up. I needed a break from formatting so I thought I would blog an announcement! I am NOT the greatest photographer but I wanted to take some photos to show how the art is fitted into the matte! I need to get better at that. The Shop name is Monica Lee (pretty original, huh? It was my original username and it is my name soooo branding, branding right?). If you all have any tips for an Etsy newbie, please send the advice my way!!
