I've
done it, I've opened a new shop on Etsy,
(for
those who don't know what Etsy is, it's an online marketplace where
you are able to buy and sell handmade or vintage items, art and
supplies).
Do
you remember a while back in the post What's in a Name, I asked your advice about a name to use
for my art work? well taking all your
ideas on board, my new shop is called.....
I'd
love you to pop over for a nosey. I
haven't got much on there at the moment, my first 3 listings are of Cute Ninja's (read on) but hopefully I will be doing lots of
listing in the next few weeks.
Hi
to those who have already popped over.
This
new shop is in addition to my Handcrafted by Picto empire and not replacing it.
ok
I know 'empire' is a bit grand but I couldn't think of the word I
wanted to use
I've no doubt that there will be a bit of a crossover between shops but my Etsy shop will be for art work rather than crafts.
*******************************
I've
been playing around with a few Ninja pictures this week, it all
started when (cue 'going back in time' type music) a facebook page I
follow called Scented Sweetpeas asked if anyone could doodle a Ninja that she could
use in her 'Ninja Attacks' (where she visits and likes pages she
admires and encourages others to pop over too). I sent her a couple of painted doodles, I
enjoyed painting these cute little ninja's so much I went a bit
overboard and done lots of them, here are a few, these ones are
ACEO's

| Halloween Vampire Ninja |
 |
| Cute Ninja with Nunchucks |
 |
| Pirate Ninja |

| Cute Ninja's playing dress-up |
What are Aceo's I hear some of you say!!
The
acronym "ACEO" stands for Art
Cards, Editions
and Originals,
they can also be known as
ATC's Art
Trading Cards.
They are collectible little pieces of art always sized 2.5 x 3.5
inches.
They can be framed, either individually or in groups or they
can be kept in an album.
I have other ideas in the pipeline for these cuties so watch this space!!!
Wishing you all a great week

ReplyDeleteYes well done on the Etsy shop. I love the pirate Ninja, somehow it just made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new shop. Your name sounds very grand :) and I don't think that you should apologise for using the word empire as it is your empire. I wish you every luck in your new venture. xx
