My first custom piece! + some other little experiments
Hey fellow tufters :D I still have not given up on turning tufting into a lifestyle, so I thought it'd be fun to share a little update with you all.
I opened an Etsy shop about a month ago and recently got my first two orders. I'm still figuring out pricing and shipping costs (international shipping is brutal haha). So while I am finding ways to make my work profitable, I am really happy there are people out there who appreciate the craft and want my art in their homes!
As someone who has been a painter and illustrator struggling to get by and got stuck in more than one office job along the way, this makes me very hopeful and happy even if it's small steps. Most of all tufting is still a lot of fun and I am excited with every piece that comes out of my hands, so love to share the joy and the small wins here.
I'm also finishing up a YouTube video tufting a big rug, hopefully that will be ready soon so I can share a bit more behind the scenes type stuff for whoever is interested.
In any case, hope you are all enjoying your tufting adventures as much as I am. If you have any tips or ideas, please let me know!
