Thought the blog wasn't going in this "commercial" direction
Hi thanks for the nod to my lil shop. Oh and the whole point to Etsy is that it features handmade or direct from the artist art or craftwork. While Etsy is a sizeable business entity, it's cost for listing are small and rather reasonable to artist who are trying to at least fund their art "habit".It is also a viable tool for artists who desire an online venue for self promotion and possible sales of their art.
