Hidden Threads

Admit it, quilting is addictive. The more you quilt, the more your style and technique improves. Eventually, artistic development leads to a desire to share, promote, and monetize your craft. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

I’ve posted a little about Etsy, the site for unique one-of-a-kind arts and crafts pieces, including quilts. You can start your own quilt and craft store as part of the site.  Sign up is free.  You can find the blog here: Etsy Quilting.  A quick link to Etsy is available in the Blogroll on the sidebar of this page.

Etsy isn’t the only place you can grow as an artist and share your unique vision with the wider community.  Art Market Blog has a list of sites that will give you a lot to consider, help you become member of a large, robust artistic community, and maybe teach you a little something about art in the digital age. Take a look at: How Artists Can Get Noticed Now for more information.

One thing you’ll find is that many of these promotional and educational sites are free or available at a nominal fee. The opportunities out there for artistic development and promotion are staggering.

If you’ve ever longed for a way to make your hobby pay for itself, make a profit, or get the respect you deserve as an artist, explore some of these sites. You’ll be surprised and pleased, and maybe you’ll discover that your vision resonates with more people than you ever expected.

Let me know how it goes.
