New art for 2013

I am working on so much new art for 2013....

and I am starting with...

"old" art.

These pictures are pictures I did in 1987.

I did a collection of about 10 and have decided

 that I want to

re-do them.

I still have the original paintings...as I painted them

to hang in the rooms of my own children...

but now

I want to update them

and make them 'new' again.

FairytaleZ 'N FantasieZ is now open.

Before all of the craziness on Etsy...in October

I had begun to put together a new shop...

mainly art for kids' rooms and nurseries.

FairytalezNFantasiez.

I thought...wisely, I might add...I would wait

to see what was going on at Etsy

before I put anything 'live' in the new shop.

Instead...I decided to open

SugarNSnails

on Artfire.

Let's face it though...even with all the changes on Etsy...

which I might add that I'm not exactly

fond of...

it still seems to get more traffic

than the other sites I am trying

at least for my 

Rustic Goth shops.

But...to be fair to the other sites...

I've had five years to build a following on Etsy...

back before all the changes...

and the traffic may be coming from the folks'

who favorited my Shop there.

At any rate...I wanted to open similar shops on Etsy

and Artfire...since it now comes down to

SEO rather than renews and relists...

and I am promoting both shops...equally.

Now...we'll see what happens...

but for anyone who is interested in some

'happy' art...
