It is still a bit grey outside, and the end of the year is approaching. Which also means that a new year is coming. I want to make the best of it. Even though plans may be changed, I want to search for the positives: for me, my business but also for those close by. We need hope, comfort and joy. So that is how I am starting the New Year.
To you I am sending:
Wow, it is pretty grey here. Winter is showing its different faces. So when there is some sunshine I go out for a walk. And sometimes you find surprises, like snow and fog in the morning. And because there are not many people about, and nature is being silent, it is magical...
A page from my sketchbook: on the left some playing around with acrylic paint, on the right some drawings with an old Calligraphy pen (Sheaffer- brand).
I like the colour purple. A woman pointed that out to me on an Art market, she saw many shades of purple in my work. I also like green, and my art teacher did not like that colour at all, so when I started with green, she could not watch me do it... :). Colours I do not use a lot are bright red and yellow, I think. What is your favourite colour?
On www.etsy.com you find all sorts of handmade products, art, craft etcetera from all over the world. Each maker has its own shop, and purchasing items is quite easy, a bit like every online shop. I am also represented on ETSY (it is not my only channel though) and I am very happy with it. I can put my recent works out there in an instant and I have a worldwide audience. I have sold to Alaska, Australia and Hongkong through ETSY, wow, amazing, I never thought I would... Recently I am selling more to the Netherlands, which is also nice.
Find Christmas cards, small and large gifts, craft material, vintage and customized objects here on www.etsy.com.
You find my shop under the name of zizolabel.
