Art on the Internet








It's been a while since I've written, so sorry about that. But I have a good excuse, 'cause I've been a busy girl! I've been listing my art on a new site called Etsy. This is a site for handcrafted items only, so it is a haven for all you artists out there! I actually opened my shop back in March, but never got anything listed. So the past couple of weeks I've been trying to list stuff about every day or every other day. Although I haven't sold anything yet, the traffic seems to be good.


Here's photos of some of the things I have listed, but there's lots more! Please check out it out, and if you are so inclined, you're more than welcome to make a purchase! ;)


It's really amazing what the internet has done to revolutionize the art world. There are so many opportunities these days to get your work out there so others can actually see it! Only just a few years ago artists had to rely solely on galleries and getting their work accepted into shows... and then there's still the problem of getting people to actually attend the show or gallery (another subject, another day!).

I know I'm kind of in the dark ages where computers are concerned, but I'm trying to learn. This whole blogging stuff seems to have really taken off and it's so exciting to see how artists are using it to showcase their work. I would LOVE to be able to create an awesome looking blog like so many that are out there!! So if you're computer savy and would like to help an internet-challenged fellow artist, please post or email me with some suggestions or how to's! I desperately need help!
