Just Start!

After selling all of our wedding stuff my mind starting churning - what else can I sell? The obvious answer is art, of course! I've got a closet FULL of it...why not pop it on etsy and see what happens?

So yesterday I posted 4 pages out of my sketchbook. I have to admit I didn't find the task to be very fun - taking the photo, color balancing it, measuring it, etc. After posting only half of the photos I set out to post I started looking around at other peoples sites to see what sells and what doesn't and I decided maybe I can make some pieces with subjects that seem to sell well.

My first attempt is of a ballet dancer. Being a dancer myself this theme seems to fit.  I think I will try a few more dancer drawings before moving on to another targeted subject meshed with my abstract style.

On this new adventure my goal isn't really to make money, I'm selling these sketches for only $15 a piece...the goal is more just getting started in art again, and I think it will work.  I believe if I just start doing something, something will come out of it.

Here's a link to my shop if you wanna check it out :)
