That said, soon I'm going to have to buy some birthday presents for people. And some of the 2000 people on Whitechapel actually have money that spends.
So if you've got your own Etsy store that you sell your stuff from, please to be telling me about it and giving me the link and things. Ta.
Since February, my girlfriend and I have been full-time Etsy merchants. She draws odd, sad little creatures, and I scan, color, and print them. Our shop name is AshleyG.
She's working on another batch of bearded guy prints for the Valentine's Day rush. They'll be up next week, I think.
Etsy's gotten a lot better recently. We did almost all our Christmas shopping there, and we didn't have a hard time filling the list. The artisan piece to tea cozy ratio is way, way up.
My Shop Original acrylic paintings, and collage work. Coming soon jewelry, small figures, and probably blank journals. You can check out more of my artwork in my gallery most of it's for sale. You can contact me via my contact page there.
I sell handmade jewelry from both sterling silver and recycled/repurposed materials like bone and old broken things. Most pieces tend to have a steampunk vibe to them, especially since I do a lot of work with gears when I can get them.
My wife, Emily Stoneking, knits creatures and clothes and makes stained glass pieces and other crafty things. Her dissected frog is making the interwebs rounds this week.
I generally have photographic prints, hairpieces, vacuum tube jewelry, and other such bits of whatnot for sale. The store's probably filed under goth or steampunk, but technically it's just got an affordable Libby flavor.
