Cute idea & I bet these would sell, but just the thought of that film edge rubbing against my skin is making me itch. Also those squares are so lightweight, the piece is bound to slide in all directions. I’m thinking it definitely needs to be encased in resin or mounted on a more substantial backing to really be a feasible piece.

What is one tip you could share about selling you work on Etsy ?
Photograph your product as cleanly and as sharply as possible. Keep the image light and fresh on a pale background. Nothing deters a buyer from a product more than the idea that the object will be heavy and burdensome.

It’s simultaneously elegant and wild and can be worn with a spectrum of looks from elegant to casual.

Introduction of new technology — radio, television and film — has had a dramatic impact on the way artists entertain, he says. “The technology made the art forms fragment into their own little pockets and Id like to sort of bring it back to the time before that, when before those technological innovations we had the live experience and that was it,” he says. “For our shows, people can go back to that space.”
There’s some really good looking artwork here. And the site — www.society6.com — itself looks great. Nice and clean. No clutter. Easy to explore. I’m going to have to spend some time splashing around here despite the overwhelming temptation to buy a different iPhone case for every day of the week. -ag
