going going … g o n e
here is a little notification that the majority of small pieces i have listed on my “store” at E T S Y are expiring in the next 2 - 3 weeks. i am not re-listing them. the etsyExperience has been interesting but i am not *that* excited. especially because the images are such poor quality. i upload fine images, but what i see there does not look the same. i don’t know what they do to them, but i don’t like it at all. and it is so big there, so populated, i realize that very few sales have come directly from etsy, but more from people i already know (and love! thank you!). it is true i am not highly skilled at marketing. i mean, i am even GIVING SOMETHING AWAY this month, and still … not very many sales.

i am going to try to re-establish a small gallery at my own website, using etsy as a storefront with samples, however, so i won’t leave there altogether. but i am not sure when the gallery will happen … don’t worry, it will be announced! i haven’t been making as many small pieces this year, but have been working on books instead. so i don’t know exactly what will *be* in that gallery yet … maybe some images, too? well. we’ll see … onward.
