Etsy Seller : Lovelyart

Tell us a bit about yourself:

I'm Claudia form Barcelona (Spain). Since I was a child I were atracted to art and painting because of my uncle and now I'm studing Fine arts. I've a sister 2 years older than me (I'm 20) she is bead addicted and is studing fashion desing. My sleep masks crafts start when I've decided to do a handmade sleep mask (for me). I was searching internet and think to do a inspirated Breakfast at Tiffany's sleep mask. But not the same, I would like to do it with my own desing. Then I tought that I can try sell this at my Etsy sotre. My surprise was when this sleep mask was sold.

What are your interests?

I love Arts and Crafts, tv series, beads, kawaii, vintage, felt. I would like to make things that you like to wear with a smile in your face. I want to do crafts and have fun with this.

How did you find out about Etsy?

My sister have a store there and encouraged me to sell my prints. But they aren't successful so I've decided to do my own crafts and sleep masks.

Please describe your creative process.

All my items are done with care and love. To do my items I have to think about it, search internet, make some sketches and a pattern. Then I love to use felt, cotton and decorations like appliques and beads for my creations.*How do you promote your work? I think that work and photos are the best promotion. But is too useful to be at internet sites like blogs, flirck ... and add them to google. I'm searching for marqueting tecniques!
