Very cool, Mike. And a bit unsettling. Love it.

Absolutely, Brent. Thank you. I went to your website, I find your works very inspiring as I also use historical and mythological references in many of my works.

Hmmm...Etsy is OK, but most of my sales are via word of mouth and Facebook (if you can believe it), not Etsy. My first sales on Etsy were from someone who first saw my work on Facebook. I find that it is easy to get buried on Etsy. There is so much "stuff" on there, and so many shops listing frequently that it's hard to get noticed. My shop is very small (so far), so even harder to get noticed. Tagging your items well really helps, I find, and so does participating in the forums. There is an Ontario Etsy team, but I don't think they're very active at all as I never get any emails from the admin.
My sister has a Jewellry shop on Etsy and finds the same thing. Visibility is hard, but you do get the odd sales here and there. Her shop name is TheMadKilner and she works in glass. I will also be openning a jewellery shop on there soon, I am just in the process of making some new necklaces to post on there. My stuff is more Bhemian and organic using a lot of wooden beads, cotton/leather/and hemp cording and varying types of beads like shell, lampwork, and semi-precious.
So - you have a Jewellery shop on Etsy? What is your name on ther, I'd love to check it out!

- Hi Erika. Thank you for the warm welcome! I didn't even know this site existed until a friend of mine on Facebook posted a link to it! I'm so glad to find some like-minded individuals in the area!
I'm still feeling my way around this site, but hope to get to know everyone better soon!
By the way - I love your sculptures. Especially Krista! Very ethereal and mystical!

I could add all kinds of middle aged delemas but, it was basically silliness.

- Hi Erika: I really like your sculptures and will look forward to any explanations sometime of each one.
I've never really tried sculpting but it looks like fun.
Keep up the good work.
