Folksy shop

In the last month I've set up an online shop on Folksy. Folksy is a website that lets makers, artists and photographers sell their own handmade art to other internet users, and it's become very popular over recent years. There's also an American version called Etsy. I've been busy listing some of my images on the site over the last few weeks with two fellow artists, Emma and Diana Stickley and our shop name is 'Saltmarsh and Samphire'. We all agreed on this name for our shop as a great deal of our work is inspired by the sea and seaside living. Emma, like myself concentrates mainly on photography, but she is also trying her hand at other craft ideas, and Diana's work is one of a visual artist and printmaker. We didn't expect much of a reaction in the first few months as it takes time to design, photograph and list your products, but we've been overwhelmed and very excited by the response we've received so far. Not only have we sold some of our pieces, but we've also had work showcased on the Folksy homepage and featured on other people's craft blogs. We're now gearing up for Christmas, and hopefully what will be a very busy time for us all. So please pop along to our shop and take a look, the link's below. You never know, you may just find that ideal gift for a loved one this festive season or perhaps fancy treating yourself... (just this once of course).
