So I have an etsy shop though its not doing great at the moment only cause i need to over haul the photos and what not haha but who else here has an etsy shop? etsy is kinda similar to ebay but without the auction stuff for craft and hand made stuff. It's pretty cool.

I have an etsy shop, but I need to get photos and stock back up first before I start giving it out. It's only simple jewelry, but I also don't know how to even begin trying to price it, since I use precious and semi-precious stones.

Lillianna I price things by how much the stuff to make it with cost me and then how long it takes to make it
so usually the items I make the wool for that item would cost probably around $3 unless it was a bigger project
and then depending on the size and the time but most of my items are around $12 or what not. Until I get a lot better
that is and then I can ask for more. I needle felt.
I've seen al ot of Esty shops and would consider one if my crafting was consistent. As it is, it's not really. My dad is looking for an outlet for his "comfort blankets", but he's kinda leery of using Esty because of the whole Unsecured aspect of it. How doesn't that work for ya'll that have accounts? I really thing it would be a good place for my parents and their blankets.
I don't have an Etsy. I don't know what that is, doesn't sound like something i'd fool with.

Etsy is a site for people to set up shops which sell a variety of handmade items, whether it be fashion, accessories, art, and other things like that.
I've thought about opening one for BJD clothes at some point. Now that I have a serger, I can make some more professional looking items. But I don't have time or space right now. Maybe when I move into a bigger home or apartment.
I have friends that have plushie shops on Etsy. I've considered doing the same, but I need to whip up a better plushie pattern. :3
I may try cute accessories like jewelry too at some point. But I probably won't get around to it.

Hmm, this is the first time I've heard of that site, it sounds cool. But do you have to live in the US to sell stuff on there? That would suck if you do =(

I know there is a site for horrible Etsy items, I can't remember the name right now. It is pretty funny.
Thanks for the art Dragoness!
