People, do you think I should focus on art or jewelry for my etsy store? When I'm having uninspired days, I feel like my jewelry's not much better/different than lots of other people's jewelry, whereas my paintings are at least different. However, it's much easier to knock out a few pairs of earrings than a few paintings. And people seem to be

I think some of your earrings are really awesome and unique, especially the ferns and the other forged wire stuff. But of course your art is awesome too. You should make paintings with the subjects wearing the earrings you make, so that it's all cohesive. I've been thinking about similar things in wanting to start an etsy store, since I have so many different things- creepy beanie babies, crazy hats and scarfs, jewelry, maybe even some clothes.

I wore the scarf you made me today. It's so beautiful! And I certainly love your franken-beanies.

yay! Send me a picture of you wearing the scarf! Hey, what do you think the weather will be like next weekend up there?

Probably in the fifties. I hope! I'm tired of cold.
So, do you think I should have one shop for paintings and one for jewelry?

I don't think you necessarily have to choose. I mean, people requested the paintings especially, right? So clearly they like them. And I really like your ferny forged earrings as well. I think you could kind of integrate your two things a little bit so you don't have to discontinue either.

If you want it to become a living, you may need to do something a little more store-like with a focused product, but I like everything you offer!

Thanks for the advice. It's good to have an outside perspective.
