New Items on MY Etsy Store...


It's something which I have been meaning to do for a while, get my card designs up on Etsy...I need some honest criticism and advice though...I've only added 3 cards so far...but would love to hear from you and your thoughts.
Would you pay $12 for an original Ink drawing?
Thank you all...

from the prices on etsy I think $12 is very reasonable. My goal is to open one this year.

I think you should charge at least $20.00, honestly. People don't always value a card as artwork as much as they value something they view as ready to frame. Your inkwork is incredible and I think even a small ink drawing mounted for an 8x10 frame would be worth more than you're considering charging. If you want to make a really inexpensive item, print them out on card stock and make cards for a few bucks each. Please don't undervalue your original work! I mount my birdies on acid free card stock with clear photo corners and they sell just fine at $22. Need more encouragement? Send me a message. I LOVE your ink.

I agree about not underpricing your art. It's one of the things that makes me hesitate to open an etsy shop: Too much jewelry there and much of it being sold at a price I couldn't offer. It hurts those of us who make our living solely thru art. So: Please value what you do and know that your audience will, too!

ABSOLUTELY! I think $12 is more than fair! You are so incredibly tallented, and I think you should charge more!

There is a blog award waiting for you both on my blog if you have time to stop by and get it!
