2013: thoughts and questions for FA users
12 years ago
Here's some stuff I wanted to say:
I know no one looks at this probably, but maybe I can reach someone with my questions. ^^;
THIS ISN'T THE QUESTION PART, YOU CAN SKIP IT
First off, I'm hoping to start 2013 with a new hobby: sewing! I got a sewing machine for Christmas, and I've always wanted to take up plushie making. I have a lot of fleece at my disposal at this point from collecting it up for a while. I also got an easel from my awesome boyfriend, along with an art set containing mostly colored pencils and watercolor pencils. So I'm trying to get more paintings done. I have finished one so far, but it was a gift to a family member and I didn't have time to take photos of it. D:
OKAY, RAMBLING OVER :P
Anyway, here's the question: I want to sell some of my art this year, maybe on Etsy. (And maybe do commissions? :3) What, in your opinion, is the best (or easiest) item to make and sell on the internet? That means the initial creation, time it takes to make, and packaging to send through the mail to the buyer. I can only think of two things that I have that would be easiest to make and sell: figures or keychains made from Sculpey, or plushes made with fleece. And please throw other ideas at me if you like! :D I really want to go art crazy this year.
REASONS FOR SUDDENLY WANTING TO SELL ART:
I want to sell things because I think it sounds like a really fun endeavor, and I feel like I'm going to be making a lot of investments, and I'll need all the extra funds I can obtain.
Please throw some suggestions/advice my way! I appreciate it! :D

What about character badges? I've seen people here doing that, but I don't know what they would cost to make. Just a thought :3

OP
I thought about that. :3 I dunno where to get the clippy thingies for them, and I don't know anyone who has a laminating machine, so I don't think my badges would be as good as most artists'. ^^; I could do the art, but whoever bought one would have to provide the rest. :3 But thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep it in mind. :D
