Thanks @ElisabethB!

 

I just launched my shop last week at monochromemythology.com and have been pleased with it thus far. I am a traditional artist based in Tennessee and work with pencil and ink. The integration with Printful to fulfill and ship prints is saving a lot of time.

 

It's great to see everyone's businesses here and I wish you all the best of luck!

 

Cheers,

Jeremy, Owner and Artist

Howdy!

Craig here, Winnipeg Canada

Retired last year from the computer industry, and have fallen in love with wood turning and woodworking. Not really selling anything yet, but the goods I give to family and friends have been getting closer and closer to what I would consider acceptable for sale. So I hope to start hitting farmers markets next summer and am getting all the ducks in a row

My name is Joleen I am the sole owner and operator of FAFO Kustom Designs  I specialize in creating custom designed paintings by using the ideas that the customer has. I offer a free consultation appointment option for customers that want to purchase a custom painting from me. With the custom painting the customer gets to choose between either a stretched canvas or a canvas panel and then they also get to choose the size of the painting from the sizes of 5x7 all the way up to 24x36. Once they choose their options they then can choose to book an online appointment with me via Google meet to discuss their design ideas for their painting. After the consultation appointment I then take the time to think of ideas on how to incorporate their ideas into one cohesive and flowing concept for a painting . I then send an email to the customer and get their feedback on the design that I have come up with and see if there is anything that want to change about the drawing or if they like it just the way it is. If they approve the design that I have come up with then I ask them if there are any certain colors that they would like in their painting . Once this is all done I then start creating the painting for them and once it is complete I let all of the paint dry all the way and then I spray an acrylic paint sealer over the entire painting to seal all the colors and to make sure that it lasts for a long time. I have sold a few paintings so far. I wanting to grow my business and get my work out there but just not sure how to do all of that IMG_20250112_001407832_MP.jpgIMG_20241210_151741478_HDR.jpgMessenger_creation_FA3ADE9F-DC40-47AE-BB8F-4B05800C65B1.jpegMessenger_creation_B8B7137B-2E0F-4954-805D-46DDC0C99B88.jpegIMG_20250116_232041973.jpgMessenger_creation_E0242247-BD54-49A8-B165-33404056C9A9~2.jpeg

Hello @goldenivyc and welcome to the Square Community, we're so glad you're here! I just checked out your Etsy shop, and you have a lot of great variety in your wreaths. The Easter styles are particularly beautiful! Very nicely made, I hope you enjoy networking and discovering how Square can help you in your small business. I've found the Community to be a great place for advice and support for not only technical questions, but also general business information. Good luck to you!

@HC_Charlie thank you so much for the response and the positive feedback. We are trying to add my husband's photography to Etsy, but it takes a lot longer to complete. I am looking forward to the support from the Square Community.

Hi - I'm Margaret, owner/operator/artisan at Knit Pickers PEI in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada.  I'm a knitter/weaver/designer with a small retail studio that is open from mid-May through to late October.  In the studio, I carry only Canadian goods - natural fibres from sheep and alpacas raised in Canada, knitting and weaving tools manufactured in Canada.  I host knitting workshops 4-5 days/week from the most basic "ABC's of Knitting" to more advanced like "Buttery Brioche".  This year, I also started manufacturing wool pellets for your garden.  I purchase waste wool from area farms - wool that may be from the bellies and necks of sheep that would not be spun into yarn, or wool for which a farmer does not have a market.  I then shred it and compress it into pellets that are used in your garden to replace chemical fertilizers.  They add necessary nutrients to your soil while reducing your need to water by an average of 25% and, as an added bonus, slugs don't like them!  I also have an online shop - www.knitpickerspei.com Maple Leaf Flag Sweater/PatternMaple Leaf Flag Sweater/PatternPEI Icelandic Lamb's WoolPEI Icelandic Lamb's WoolKollage Square DP Needle "Maple Syrup" SetKollage Square DP Needle "Maple Syrup" SetWool Pellets for your GardenWool Pellets for your GardenKnitting WorkshopKnitting Workshop"Barn" Knitwear"Barn" Knitwear
