 Holy monkey.  I sold this guy on my Etsy site today...

Yep!  Someone bought the Fire Dragon.  I think that's the most I've ever been paid for a single mask.  So it seems I can sell really expensive things there after all (as well as the impulse items like barrettes & pins).  That's very encouraging.  That's well over a thousand dollars of sales in a month, & compared to the kind of overhead I have when I travel to a show, this is costing me next to nothing.

Pretty cool.   Now I need to make another Frost Dragon & put it up.  Wait 'til everyone sees those beautiful icy blues. 

Happy Birthday (a day late!) shvetufae...stuff is getting mailed to you tomorrow.  :-)

Congratulations! I won't say I'm surprised, though. Your stuff is gorgeous and well made, and people recognize that.

How lovely that you get to keep most of your earnings on Etsy. I'm so glad it's working out.

And thank you for the birthday wishes. Yay, a mystery birthday package! *can't wait and hugs you* *muah!*

HOLY MAMA!!

That is so freaking awesome! I'm so happy to see that that site is working so well for you. :D And that had only been up a couple days, hadn't it?

Yay for sites that work!

Wow! Big congrats on selling that beauty! :D I'm sure that'll mean good things for you as the word starts getting out even more. And that's great news about being able to keep more of your earnings when you sell off of Etsy. ^_^

*huggles* So happy for you!

Wow! Etsy is really working for you. Given the type of forum that Etsy is, Bob thinks that there may be some people out there surfing it for "up and coming" artists, before they hit big and become unaffordable.

Whoa. Your Etsy shop really is doing freakishly well, you know. For a shop to make enough for a person to LIVE on in the first month (in some cases anyway, I live on less than a thou a month) is pretty much unheard of. And items priced in the hundreds usually take MONTHS or even years to sell!

Scadian fan..

Hi there. I'm a huge fan of your work, having seen you at Birka and Pennsic. Several of your circlets live in my home and at my friends' houses. If you're going to Birka this year, I'd like to talk Commissions with you. I'm interested in buying a Wolf mask with a particular color scheme, and then hopefully you can create a custom piece too -- a russian Firebird.
