Finding Your Voice on Etsy: Embrace Your Unique Path

Hey there!

Welcome back, and if you're new here, a warm welcome to you!

A few months ago, I embarked on an exciting journey by starting my own Etsy shop and launching this blog. It's always been a dream of mine to create and connect with like-minded individuals who appreciate my passion.

I'll be honest—I have so much to learn and improve upon, but I'm determined to dive right in. Building a thriving shop and fostering a vibrant community will take time, but I'm up for the challenge.

                                          A glimpse of my little shop😍


In the midst of working full-time as a Lead artist for video games and adjusting to a new life on the other side of the world, I've been delving into countless videos on product research for Etsy shops. However, I must admit, they didn't quite spark my inspiration.

Most of the advice focused on creating products solely for the purpose of selling, but they lacked the relatability I sought. Some even suggested copying someone else's strategy or using AI-generated images without any personal touch.

I want to keep making abstract art, but not only that!

But here's the thing—I love exploring new avenues. While conventional wisdom suggests honing in on one specific niche, it simply isn't me. I thrive on diversity and embracing all aspects of my creative spirit.

 I love making coloring sheets and things for kids!


So, I've made a decision. I'm going to follow my instincts and do what truly resonates with me, even if it means venturing into various creative realms.

  And figurative art as well!

Right now, I'm working on something exciting, and soon, it will make its way to my shop. Just like me, my shop will be a delightful mishmash of different passions.
          

I've been making this "BaraBaras", in my personal style for years,  and I'm going to add this to the shop soon!

Making my mind... making my mind?

Hi lovely people! Here I am again! where do I start? These past months have been a bit intense. I have the feeling that I need to work all the time on my shop and the brand I'm trying to create. That, on top of life it's giving me a great thirst for peace. I'm trying to be patient and positive. Trying to keep creating and getting better at everything I'm trying to learn right now, which is a lot. I felt like coming here again and share what's going on. Everything is related when you own a small art business. So I've been working on my latest product which I released today. It has the retro, positive vibe that I needed and the soothing pink and ivory colors where beautiful to work with. And I have to day, thanks god, because I spend so many hours working on them! I changed the color three times!! and the worst part is that I decided to do it when all the files, mockups and information where ready and uploaded!! WHY DO I CHANGE MY MIND SO  Sure! Here is a new vers...

Consistency is so hard.

Hi everybody! Hope you are doing great. I have to admit that I struggled a bit with this post.  One of the reasons for starting this blog is to improve some of the skills that I know will help me grow, but I still don't have. Consistency is one of them, so here I am.  I aim to upload a new item to my shop each week and share a new post here. Last week I added a new listing to my shop but the week before I couldn't make it.  I was also caught up doing my taxes, which I totally underestimated and I am still working on😓😅. OMG! Being organized and avoiding distractions can be a real challenge! Luckily, I am uploading another listing today. 👀                                                     I enjoy creating abstract and colorful backgrounds with quotes on top. I want to improve both, my abstract painting and typography, so I decided ...
