Are you opening a seperate Etsy shop or just planning to have different sections for your art? I can't wait to follow your process. And I too feel so blessed for the weekly inspiration from the avenue. I LOVE our team!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215381410223424522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736276539564789590.post-83814954762125814792011-01-03T23:00:33.345-05:002011-01-03T23:00:33.345-05:00I am so blessed to know you to exclaim over your t...I am so blessed to know you to exclaim over your talent and commiserate on our dithering...<br />you rock, Maggie!Priti Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387174904054579172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736276539564789590.post-3592483888925102892011-01-03T10:03:22.217-05:002011-01-03T10:03:22.217-05:00Boy, can I relate to "dithering."

I believe your math is correct and I'm afraid I fall into that category myself. <br /><br />I have yet to sell anything, so I can't say how I'm going to do it, but my first instinct is to begin by selling on my own blog, then attend a few live shows. Of course, I could dither around and not figure anything out, or change my mind and go in a completely different direction. As you can see, I'm no help at all, except to give you an A in new math!Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736276539564789590.post-86470035949118727412011-01-03T09:47:34.706-05:002011-01-03T09:47:34.706-05:00Very exciting resolutions Maggie - especially sell...Very exciting resolutions Maggie - especially selling your art! <br /><br />I do a few "real life" exhibitions each year but sell mainly online (mostly etsy). It is hard with art, but there's definitely an "etsy look" and I think your style would do well there. Go for it!!<br /><br />From a fellow ditherer! xxartangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445532628632432251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736276539564789590.post-55888986836541565692011-01-03T02:25:00.855-05:002011-01-03T02:25:00.855-05:00awww maggie :)
love visualizing you contemplating ...awww maggie :)<br />love visualizing you contemplating while writing this post... that's the image i got in my head while reading it :) you know ... i really love what suzi blu has done to you. the work you are producing are whimsical and beautiful ... but most of all, it exudes positive vibes, happiness, innocence and when i see it, it reminds me of my carefree childhood. <br /><br />i dunno about selling art on etsy ... is it difficult? i've always made art sort of "usable". you know, make them into books, jewelry, coasters etc. i've never had the inclination to make art as art ... up until recently. guess you know which ones i'm talking about. lately, i've been "visiting" lots of "masters" online, like michael demeng, seth apter, gary reef and judy wilkenfeld ... i guess it sort of influenced me that i should make art as just art. i know why i don't make art as art, it's becos i have no confidence in them as art ... so i tag journals, coasters, jewelry along with art. i dunno if i have the confidence now still, but something is propelling me into just making art period. i just listed my first piece on etsy. dunno if they'll sell, but most things DON"T sell anyway, so i'll not let "won't sell anyway" stop me from trying.<br /><br />hmmm... i wonder why i'm rambling! this should be a blog post, not on someone's comments page ... sorry!! ^_^ :)<br /><br />anyhow, may you have a creative and successful year ahead with regards to your resolutions :) and good health, happiness and brightest blessing to you and the family :)<br /><br />HUGS!!Luthien Thyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917087004750275087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736276539564789590.post-13658681988685010002011-01-02T17:15:23.082-05:002011-01-02T17:15:23.082-05:00What lovely paintings and a wonderful post.

I read every word and felt like I'd been on such a similar journey with all that inspiration from 'the avenue' and our shared art teachers. How great that we're on other sides of the world yet still can join in on the same classes. I adore that picture you did of the friends - especially the one with the red hair and your pic up top has just inspired me to go and finish something I've been working on right now!WrightStuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684505907887354154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736276539564789590.post-77843899556212099792011-01-02T11:05:31.573-05:002011-01-02T11:05:31.573-05:00Love your wonderful paintings!
