Overwhelmed

Friday I started the guided Business Goddess workshop with Leonie Dawson. You have the choice to sign up for just this workshop, and then it's finished after 5 weeks, or you can sign up for a membership with the Goddess Circle, and then you get access to all the workshops and materials on the site for a whole year. Being just 20 dollars more, I figured I'd be better off doing the whole year membership.

And now I'm a bit overwhelmed. There's so much information on there that I don't even know where to start. There's a wonderful group of people to meet, forums to read and information to share. Although from what I've seen so far it seems to be more of a place for people who want to do women empowerment, healing, massage, coaching, meditation, etc ... If you're into that, you're definitely in the right place there.

Don't get me wrong, it's also about art and making a business of it. Actually, it's for everybody who wants to make their dream job come true. Whatever that dream job is. I've picked up some real interesting tips and information already. Looking forward to exploring it all.

But you can't sit in front of the computer all day, can you! So yesterday I played with a painted background again. This is what I started with:

I immediately saw the bird, and then the contours of a body underneath...

 so that's what I painted (Inktense pencils and acrylics)

It's so much fun to do these little paintings. I never would have thought to paint a figure like that, it just came out of the drips and layers of paint. Pure coincidence. I have a whole bunch of them now, but I still need to  finish them. Meaning that I have to paint the sides and put a coat of varnish on them. And then they'll be ready to sell. Oh, yes, and put my name on there as well ;-)

I am thinking about setting up an Etsy store, but I need to look into it first. I have also been reading about Redbubble and DeviantArt, where you just have to upload an image, and if somebody wants to buy a print, they take care of it. Of course they also take a percentage out of it. But I've read some really bad reviews about it, so I'm very much in doubt now.

Do you have experience with selling your stuff like that? Are you happy with the results, or is it just not worth the work? I would love to hear your view on this!

Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! Enjoy!
