Will Handmade at Amazon be a game changer for artists?
Lisa Blake 2015 art artists Artwork Etsy handmade at amazon Photography Thoughts
What will Handmade at Amazon mean for artists? A new world and arena to play in with a huge horizon of possibilities. Many have said Handmade at Amazon is in competition with Etsy, since Etsy went public. I disagree. Amazon already sells fine art. It is not a new concept for them. They are now specifically focusing on handmade products from artists and small businesses, which does not include mass-produced products. All products are required to be made or printed by the artist/small business. Etsy vs. Handmade at Amazon We are comparing apples to oranges between Etsy and Handmade at Amazon. The...

I'm so excited to share this with you. "Deep Purple Haze" is the finished painting from my previous "Painted Fingers" posts here and here.

I've had many ooops moments along the way and many times I thought it would end up in the trash. I'm very happy I stuck with it and it's exciting to finally see the finished version! "Deep Purple Haze" is available for purchase through my Etsy Shop. Below...
