I finally listed my Upside Down Dogs on Etsy! I don’t know what took me so long…I seriously think I must have some lingering fear about this whole thing! Now that, people, is a bald faced lie. Ok, I KNOW I have some lingering fear!!
My artwork is so personal to me and I know you’ve got to have a tough skin in the art world. Putting handsewn items out there was one thing. If they don’t sell, I can chalk it up to “Eh…people just aren’t willing to pay what handmade is worth for what they can get mass made in China for $10.” But art… a whole different bananna. It’s the last day of January!! I gritted my teeth and got it done. I’m so nervous. How will I feel if it’s a total flop? Sucky, I’m sure. But, my curiosity finally got the better of my fears. I’m tired of showing my stuff to friends and family and hearing “that’s great Jess…you could totally sell that,” and then being too chicken to do anything about it. So here goes it!! Wish me luck!!
As a side note, some of you may be wondering what happened to all my handsewn listings (apron, birthday shirt, bun warmer). I decided to inactivate them for now since we are STILL in the midst of trying to sell our house. I packed up my craft table and sewing machine in the name of the real estate gods and ALL my precious art stuff is packed away. I just don’t want to drag it all out if someone orders something. I can’t wait to move…I”m DYING to unpack my paint! 
For now, this is my only creative outlet…although I just bought Evan some crayons. I can live vicariously through him for a little while anyway.
Thanks for being here with me, whether you’re lurking or commenting, I appreciate it!!
