Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Gettin' Etsy
So, after talking about it for months, I finally listed one of my cards on Etsy. For those of you unfamiliar, Etsy is an online crafts marketplace. It's like the most awesome virtual craft fair ever, providing artists and crafters with the tools and interface to sell their creations. There are so many inspiring things there that I worried my work wouldn't do well. Imagine my surprise when the first card I listed sold within a few hours.
Now that I've taken the plunge, it's going to take all of my effort to finish up my current projects (40 custom note cards, 35 baby shower invitations) and regular work before posting more cards. And posting more work is a bundle of projects in and of itself: setting up a little card photography studio, perfecting my logo and ordering a custom stamp, and developing a design for The Paper Jay. So much work! Happy, inspired work, which is the best kind.
