So... I'm thinking of selling my clay dragons. And possibly bracelets. I have to make said things first but I'm seriously thinking about it. I just have to figure out how much they cost in materials, how much in time, and then where to sell them. I'm thinking Etsy again (looked into it before), because that seems the best for one of a kind things like this.
I have no idea if they'll sell at all, but so long as it doesn't cost me to have them listed then it might be a viable way of making a little extra money. I'm not going to let myself think about my skill level or anything like that- I just want to have it set up so that if someone wants to buy one they can, and if they don't it'll be no big deal. I enjoy making them anyway.
Not thinking about my skill level is exactly why I'm not going to try for art commissions. I'm still trying to like doing art, not completely flip out about it again. (And besides, I'm still in that now year and a half long art slump.)
This is my brain's way of brainstorming ideas to get money because it's going to be reeaaaally tight for a little while. But it's funny, instead of freaking out or stressing I'm really calm. I'm actually strangely ecstatically happy. I feel suddenly confident and that I can take on the world. Yeah, it's scary suddenly taking on 100% of the bills, but I know I can do this. I feel powerful.
I ain't questioning it. I'm just going to listen to myself roar.
