Selling-or Not-On Etsy

An online buddy of mine sells her jewelry and scarfs on Etsy at Chrysalis Jewelry TX, she offered me a bit of advice once I decided to give a shot at selling my fine art photography images there. She helped me and I appreciate it, but I haven’t really done my part. If eBay is an online flea market, than Etsy is an online Craft Mall. Like real world craft malls, there is an interesting array of items for sale. The prices range from really cheap to really not so cheap. Like eBay it’s up to the seller to set the…

A Gift from PhotoFiddle

A while back I wrote a post about Photofiddle, a company that fiddles your photos and turns them into stretched canvas works of art. It’s a pretty cool little site.

Buy My Fine Art Print Nantucket Lighthouse

Nantucket Lighthouse It was a cold and rainy day on the island of Nantucket when I took this photograph. We had caught one of the later ferries in the day. Now we only had a couple of hours to roam around before the whole place shut down and we had to board a boat back to the mainland. It was fun place. Lots of old houses and lots of stuff about whaling. Brand Point Lighthouse is a small building and yet it is like all lighthouses in that it is a cool place to visit.Clicking on the image takes you…
