Certified Handmade
I Followed My Bliss…Now What?
I have chosen Artfire for my primary selling venue. They have a wonderful administration, the other Artfire artisans are great for support and just everyday relationships, and promotional tools they offer are outstanding.
The latest promotional tool on Artfire is the Artisan Curated Collections. These collections are made of hand-selected item from an artisan and then published in the Collections section on the website. My pieces have been featured in a few of the collections. It is such an honor to be recognized by another peer. Every time I get a notification that you have been published in a collection, you think “how cool!” and it puts a smile on your face.
The collections on Artfire have been very popular with a lot of the Artisans, to date there are over 1000 collections that have been made. Many of the Artisans are reporting an extreme jump in their viewing statistics on their studios once they have been featured in a collection and there are many that are selling the items that are listed in the collections. The collections are a phenomenal promotional tool, and just in time for the start of the fall and holiday season. And the collections are so fun to make, they are almost addicting. It gives you such a great opportunity to view some the great talent that can be found on Artfire. There are a lot of items that I have found when creating a collection that normally I would have never looked for.
These are a couple of the collections from my Artfire guild, I Followed My Bliss…Not What?. The guild is a group of Artisans that have chosen to follow their passion but also have full-time careers in addition to their creative passions.

Etsy and Artfire
I can not believe it has been six weeks since my last post.
I have been working really hard on getting everything ready to get my Artfire and Etsy Store open while trying to get a major deadline out with my day job. Both the Artfire store and Etsy store are now up and running. I actually got a few things listed last night and this morning. Here are a couple of them. I am hoping to get more up there soon. I have to say the whole process of setting up both the Artfire and the Etsy store was a fairly simple process. Have a great week everyone.
