 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.  :-)

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!

I know I've been very lucky. It's pretty much the same thing that happens to me at shows. Even if no one else makes money I usually do ok because no one does what I do. I'm fortunate that I have a unique niche.
