I noticed that I've been on Etsy for a year now.
35 sales, not too good.
When was selling ceramic statues at shows in Florida, one artist told me that I was all over the place, that I needed to pick a few and concentrate on those to make money. I sensed that she was right. Previously I had made dozens of mermaids for a shop in San Francisco. I got tired of that.
I prefer to be all over the place even though it's bad for business. I've never been good at making money.
I will do it this way because I love thinking of an idea and working toward that picture I see in my head. I realize that's kind of arrogant to assume that people will want to buy what I make. Come to think of it, having a blog is arrogant, too. I read that 90% of blogs go unread, so this is kind of a diary. I know of five people who read it. (hi, Kathy).
Well, I feel better now.

Hi! I found your site from Simply Sentimental and hers from blog catalog. I love your things! Good blog. Your little earlybird is so cute. You are very talented. BTW, I save those copper pennies, have for more than 20 years. 1982 and back are copper.
Thank you for the kind words. Sorry for the whiny tone of my post.
