I love doing mixed media stuff as I've said before as you can have so much fun with stuff! Several family members have been asking me if I'm going to get into cardmaking (handmade). For the time being, no, in so far as making them to sell. From the research I've been doing, you can't sell such items at a high enough cost to cover your costs. Not that I'd ever expected to make huge amounts of money from my "crafting" activities, but I would like to cover the cost of the supplies!
@@Irene-KrausKreations That's why I closed my etsy shop, their charged just took all my profit out of it! I hope you like the one I'm working on now, mostly polymer clay and Creepy Cute...lol!😂
@@LynzCraftz That's the other thing people keep asking me about, Etsy! Yeah, they jacked up their rates and a mess of other things a few years before Covid as I recall. I hadn't even had the time to finish the setup for the darn thing and it was clear they were going to nickel and dime me out of any profits! My brother-in-law wants me to sell on Ebay, but that's really not geared toward a crafting business. Not sure what to do in regards to that other than opting for one of the many free e-commerce sites.
@@Irene-KrausKreations Yeah I'm in the same boat here! Artist aren't sellers that's why they usually have agents like Actors. That why Us lower artist have such a tough time. I think like anything else it's something you need to be good at and I'm not, unfortunately!😔
