Okay, folks. I’m putting myself out there again. I am considering selling stuff on Etsy. I make cards, but don’t know if that’s really profitable. I also like to draw, and I love little sketchy-type things that some people sell there. I primarily find myself drawn to things that would look great in my daughter’s room. I doodle constantly (mostly geometric shapes, flowers, and little cartoon people), so I thought to myself, Self, you might be able to sell things, too.
What I need from you, my friends, is to know if what I am considering selling is sell-able. Here is my first sketch. I have zero watercolor skills at this point and am going to work on techniques before making an actual piece to sell. Also, I will use better paper (read: thicker that won’t wrinkle from the water) and get someone to scan it on something better than a home PCS (it’s a little yellowed from that process).
Okay, enough excuses. Opinions, please.

I love Etsy!!! I buy all the time! And I too am going to be selling – that jewelry that no one wanted on Ebay.. 😦
Anyway, I think your art is adorable, and I think it would sell!!!
Go for it sista!!!
Very sweet and beautiful.
I think personalization is the key. As long as the potential buyer can add a name, birth date, special note, etc., I think it would be a hit!
Try canvas, then your buyer could decide to hang it as is.
Yes, sell, sell, sell! That is too cute. I would sell, but no one wants what I’m puttin’ out there.
P.S. I really like this font.
That is so cute!! Definitely go for it…that whole “nothing ventured, nothing gained” thing applies perfectly here.
I like Erica’s idea. You’ve got to give it a shot! You’ll regret it if you don’t.
I think it is adorable and you should sell them!!!
I have purchased gift tags from etsy all the way from england.
You’re artwork is darling – and personally, I’d buy it if it had glitter on it. I love really cute cards, but they almost always have glitter on them. Go figure…
I think this is waiting for a little girl blessing, prayer, or scripture. Very cute.
Thanks for all the tips and ideas, ladies. Maybe someday when I get good I’ll be able to post an “announcing my new etsy site” edition…
Very cute! Can’t wait for that Etsy link. 🙂
Hello — I too love Etsy, and it seems that LOTS of peple shop there for affordable art. I definitely think you could build a following; you have a nice style.
