Show and Tell Saturday! #15

You know the drill!  Add your link telling us about your week of art making.  Link to any post you have made this week.  We'd appreciate a link back to Artists in Blogland.  Question for you:  Would anyone like to host a giveaway of a piece of their art?  I'm going to put a giveaway up soon.

Etsy Shops, Online Sales, E-courses, etc..

Hi all! 

I just added a new page to the top of the blog.  It is a place where you can add a link for an Etsy shop, your online sales page, e-courses or anything else you sell.  The links MUST be art, supplies or related to creative living.  Anything else will be deleted.  Promote your art here!

Some day one of my goals is to set up an Etsy shop.  I haven't done so yet, but it would be fun to talk about any tips you have or your experiences selling.

What kinds of things do you find sell best?
How do you price your art?
How do you promote your shop?
Any tips for new sellers?

I can compile a list of tips if you add your experiences to this post.

Show and Tell Saturday #14

Hello Artists in Blogland!!  Welcome to our 14th Show and Tell Saturday!  I like to put the post up on Fridays and then you will have some time to put up your link.  You can spend Saturdays looking at the wonderful links.  I just wanted to also invite you to share with us any special projects you want help with (like a collaborative project, link party, swap or zine, or whatever you have in mind) or if you are putting out a fun new online workshop and want to let everyone know.  If you email me, Marcia, I would be happy to write a post that shares your idea with everyone.

Be sure to check out Featuring! magazine submission guidelines, which was started by one of our lovely members, Marit.  (I'm also happy to say that I was accepted as a contributing editor for the magazine.)  Featuring magazine is looking for artwork submissions for the theme of "Applause", but there are other categories you can enter as well.  I have a feeling this magazine is going to be full of delicious artwork.

What to do:


1. Write a post about your creative week.

2. Add your link to the list below.

3. The link MUST be to a specific blog post, not the general link to your blog.

4. You can double up... post about challenges you participated in or post to another sharing group as well, but in your blog post, please include a link back to Artists in Blogland. This will encourage other people to check out Artists in Blogland.

5. Visit other people's posts and check out what they are doing. 

6. Also, feel free to check out my Just Journals Link Party!
