I always assumed it was one person. <br /><br />Anyway, I love their stuff. It's so colorful and unique and... just amazing. :)<br /><br />Have you ever featured Joan Babcock's work, Pearl? She's another favorite of mine.

Some online markets like Etsy do get you traffic but as always self-promotion and marketing is necessary.

Their facility with color combinations is nothing short of phenomenal!<br />I wish them the best of luck and hope having them featured on this blog nets them more sales!<br /><br />It is really interesting to me when I see such glorious work on Etsy that has been there a while - with a fairly large number of favorites and views but fairly few sales. <br />As someone who follows fine craft, as well as DIY trends, it always makes me wonder why? Could the offerings be marketed better? Is the Etsy shop simply open for exposure? Or is everyone just going to look, finding 'inspiration' for their own work, then basically thinking 'It wouldn't cost that much for me to do that....so why buy it?' <br />Of course, it would be difficult to imitate the unique flavor of those pieces in any way - so if this is what folks think, they are probably fooling themselves. <br />Thanks so much for featuring these ladies' work, Pearl!!!Perri www.ShaktipajDesigns.etsy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142497366790866555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-62112344799262086622013-02-19T11:28:29.847-05:002013-02-19T11:28:29.847-05:00Thank you for featuring our work :)Thank you for featuring our work :)rRradionicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053963415845421885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-44761320967058351582013-02-19T09:00:09.881-05:002013-02-19T09:00:09.881-05:00Beautiful work!Beautiful work!Willinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-64821678592650670412013-02-19T08:49:04.421-05:002013-02-19T08:49:04.421-05:00Stunning work!Stunning work!judyklarsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140247551226869280noreply@blogger.com
