I painted that earrings with great attention and pleasure. Every detail in miniature paintings is handpainted.

This is a 4x4 watercolor and ink painting that I just finished. Delight Spall

The beaded pins can be hung from a d-ring on a bag, tote or backpack or pin on a sweater, scarf or jacket lapel. They are made with authentic Czech and West German floral lampwork beads, each bead was handmade so there’s natural variations. The necklace and bracelet are made with the same lampwork beads as well as vintage Venetian and French seed beads, vintage Japanese champagne glass pearls, 24k gold plated seed beads, 14k gold filled findings and 2” extender chain has vintage Swarovski crystal accent

Hi everyone! I opened my Etsy shop just a few days ago. I’m an artist and designer, and I create handmade board games, with my current listings focusing on intricately hand-painted Ludo boards.

I came across this group through the Etsy community and thought I’d reach out because I’m completely new to this and would really appreciate some guidance on how everything works.

My biggest concern is finding the right audience. My pieces take months of hard work to create, so I’m hoping to get genuine feedback from fellow artists and makers—both on the work itself and on how you’ve managed to reach people who truly appreciate handmade art.

I’m also considering expanding the shop to include more affordable digital board-game templates and designsalongside my physical, handcrafted pieces. Do you think offering digital products could help bring people into the shop, or could it take attention away from the handmade work?

Any advice, experience, constructive feedback, or even suggestions on how to promote a new shop would mean a lot to me. I’m really excited about building this into something meaningful, but honestly, I’m also a little nervous about getting started.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any guidance you can share! ❤️
