Blog Feature!

Hey everybody! Michael Creations has featured my etsy shop on their blog! Check out their latest "I Heart Etsy Wednesday" feature by clicking HERE to see the article!

I got it!

Hey all! (If anyone actually reads this.. lol) I haven't blogged in awhile but I need to start again I think! Anyway, first off.. remember my etsy spotlight blog I wrote a little while ago about the "Claudia and her pet cloud" print that I ordered? (If not you can view it here.) Well, I received the print! It looks even better in person! Here's a picture:

I still need to find a frame and a place to hang it up, but I'm so happy that I bought it :)

Etsy Spotlight

Hey all! I've decided to start doing some etsy features/spotlights on my blog! I'm always browsing around on etsy.com and there are SO many talented people creating great things. So why not share my finds?

Yesterday, I was browsing the art section for "clouds and rain" and came across this cute little illustration by The Paperboat, located in Spain. I clicked on it to get a better view and to my surprise the title was "Claudia and her pet cloud." Well.. needless to say it was meant to be. My name's Claudia, I have green eyes and brown hair AND my mom calls me "Cloudia" from time to time. So I purchased the print and can't wait to hang it in my room. :)

Featured on Etsy's Front Page!!

Hey all! I was just told that my first treasury was featured on Etsy's front page! How exciting! I wasn't home hardly at all yesterday evening, so I wasn't able to see it happen, but thankfully botodesigns commented my blog to let me know! How exciting. :) Thanks etsy!

Here's what my treasury looked like, in case you missed it!

New Owl Painting!!

I listed a new painting in my etsy shop last night!

It's called "Technicolor Owl"

I'm thinking of making a series of owls like this with different color schemes.
My question for you is: What color scheme would you like to see?

My First Etsy Treasury!

I've made my first Etsy Treasury! It's called "robot love."

For those of you who aren't "etsiers," treasuries are a themed list of items, usually nice to look at and inspiring. They're fun to make, but it's pretty difficult to land a spot on the treasury list. They only allow to many at a time, so you have to wait for a spot to open up, and it's really tricky to time it right!

*EDIT*

The treasury has since expired because they only last 2-3 days, but thanks to craftcult.com, you can still view it! here it is:

Sold!

I sold my second painting on etsy! :)

I'm excited.. especially because it was my first time doing a custom painting for someone! The customer saw my small owl painting and requested a larger one, which I was happy to do. I think custom paintings are fun to do and special to the buyer because they know that it's being created just for them!

Now that I know how easy it is to post a reserved painting on my etsy shop, I'm all for it! So if anyone would like something special painted for them, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

And for all you artist out there, how do you feel about doing custom work?

Blogging again! and my new Etsy shop!

Hey people! I haven't blogged in quite some time! But I figured I would give it a go again!! :) I've kind of missed it to be honest! So expect to be seeing more of me on the internet again. I may even start making some YouTube videos again. I'll keep ya posted!!

And before I go, I'd like to fill you in on a new project I'm giving a try..

ETSY! For those of you who don't know etsy.com is a website devoted to the buying and selling of handmade and vintage things. I could spend hours pouring over the many shops on Etsy. You can find everything from jewelry to art, to clothes, knitting, purses, toys, glass, pottery, books.. and much more. It's worth checking out!

Anyway, I've been browsing and buying from Etsy for awhile, and finally decided to open my own shop. Right now I have about 8 paintings up for sale. I plan to keep adding more! And maybe put up some other kinds of things eventually.. We shall see!

If you'd like to check out my shop, here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/claudiamarie

And here's a little mini-widgety thingy :)


Enjoy! Browse! Buy! Share with friends! Whatever you like :)
