I am exploring different avenues to sell art online...should I use Etsy or Square, have it on this blog, or begin a new Imperfect Lady Shop, and, then what to sell and how. This part is work and hurts my brain...and one that I have been putting off for a long time.
I thought I would need the place to put the art, before actually sitting down and creating inventory. I have quilts to sell, but not boxes of Cards or sizes of Prints or a Calendar etc. Geeze Louise, there are options to the options! But, first I have to know what I want to sell and then find a sight to plop down my Art.
Each site will take a percentage, but they have the framework in place to make uploading new items, having a shopping cart and a way to pay...and then to deposit the money to me.
I guess, I can start slow and add as I go...I can overwhelm myself with the possibilities!
Here is a quilt that I started last December...all that was done was the background and borders....this year I added the trees and Lady.
This picture is blury, but it shows the whole quilt...
I know it is early, but she has been half complete for almost a year!
And, then I also worked on a new one...(both these were quilted at a quilt retreat - two days of quilting)
I have been wanting to add metal, and here are some washers painted and added onto a string....not so sure, if this is what I was feeling, but it is a start.
She seems the most daring...I love her hat and hair....well her whole demeanor.
I can easily now, plop down photographs on the blog, and hopefully soon become real adept at doing the same for selling online.
My first task is to create a calendar...and a box set of cards. Now, to pick 12 Ladies...and perhaps a quote for each month. And, see the costs and if there would be interest....
I will learn as I go....for now the road ahead seems dark and unmarked. But, once I travel it a few times, it will brighten up.
Sharing my ladies online...has taken some really neat twists and turns or maybe not so online, but simply sharing. Here's too another level of learning!
