Me and Etsy

Well I started my etsy shop in Feb 09. It has been 10 months by now and time flies so fast. Looking back in time, I realize that I have indeed come a long way. Learned so much from so many etsians in some way or the other and I have grown on creative as well as business path. Originally started with just the idea of giving a platform for my father's paintings from his exhibition in Sydney, now I myself have fallen in love with handmade artifacts, arts and crafts, as well as supplies for making those things. And I am glad to see Etsy supports all of these. Not that I did not love handmade arts and crafts earlier, however I must say my passion for arts and crafts is regenerated. With help of my father, by now I am looking at providing painting-PRINTS at lower costs than original ones, I am also looking at providing beautiful and exciting supplies for art and craft projects. I have also re-learned few things about "making" creations as well. Couldn't have been happier. Must say, I thank all my buyers, people who have added me as favourites, etsians who have helped me with shop improvements and suggestions. I also thank my friend from the US, Taru for introducing me to etsy in first place. Well I want to grow my online shop for sure, while making the customer happy through simple little ways, and I am ready to research further on providing new exciting product lines, better customer support and well priced items as always. Stay tuned at "Creations- The Art Shop".

I am very excited to introduce this new series of miniature clay made Lord Ganesha. Have a look for yourself at the following link:

I am hereby attaching the image as well of the new listing on ths shop. I can imagine variety of uses of this little wonder. You can use it in art and craft items such as 3 D paintings, you can use it in home usage art/crafts such as traditional wall hangings. You can get it framed just like that as well. Or if you have spiritual belief in lord Ganesh (Ganesha), you can also carry it in your purse or bag. Finally you can use it for gifting your loved ones. This supply item can really be used in many creations that you heart seeks to make.

I am learning too

This is the first time I am writing about my own creations..Well regards creating- I do have enjoyed creating things all the time and now I have formally started learning painting, two of my paintings are ready. Both are Warli paintings, one is on hardboard and other is on wood. Both are colored and the hardboard one has got decorative mirros pieces as well. I used acrylic colors and for the wooden painting I used acrylic tube (3 D) colors. I will update this post with the pictures soon. The activity was fun indeed.

Listed On Etsy Treasury For The Second Time

Well second time getting listed on etsy treasury is again a thrill. This time I am more prepared about it. This is the item (painting) that got listed in treasury :

Perhaps if the treasury listing is still active, you would be able to see it at

If you cant visit this link, no worries. Let me explain a bit. A very sweet etsy user and shop owner Caron (aka shop name: BeadSire) loved my shop and picked up the given painting ( which is based on energy chakras) for her latest treasury which is a series on the 7 chakras. Glad she liked my shop (and of course my great father's painting). Thanks so much to her. Father and everyone at home is excited too.

Listed On Etsy Treasury For The First Time

Very are happy to announce that our painting http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21600099 was selected for Treasury on etsy (by member: FlashForward). It was a day of dance indeed for us. At first I was confused as to what it means to be listed there. Perhaps I had not researched etsy on that front much. Basically it's member curated gallery of etsy. This particular item is indeed a very refreshing dancing scene of Warli people. My father was excited too to hear this. The next day 4 of our paintings for sold as well. All this is making me feel so fulfilled with joy and sense of responsibility that I am required to do better work on my etsy shop and in general to promote our art in the world of art-lovers. Thanks for all the love and support.

Sale Sale And Sale

Sorry readers I haven't been up to date with my blog. I have been in the midst of shifting base from Australia to India. Finally done. As far as Creations, our art shop goes, it will work even better since me and dad can work even closely. I can visit him and discuss new ideas for the shop in person. And yes, in the meantime I must admit I have mainly been renewling the listed items and /or putting up items on sale and further sale. This is the final sale we have going on at the moment. Also father is working on some new set of paintings which I will blog on with greater details shortly. We realize that we need to put up more of abstract paintings as well. Let's see how the shop remake goes. Till the next news, bye bye and take care.

Titles Of Our Artworks

As you visit our online shop (creations1000.etsy.com), you will see some interesting titles given to the paintings. I mean, I can hope you will like those once you look at the painting and then start relate to those yourself. It has become my hobby to give different variety of titles to different paintings. Looking back, I feel the names are derived from emotions the paintings provokes in me, famouns song titles, some teamwork activities and right words corresponding to those. It just feels great to convey one of the "perceived" meanings of the artwork. As any art-lover would agree, perception of art is also what makes it different. And it may vary from person to person. At the same time, while purchasing, a buyer is always looking for something, some expression he or she can relate to. And by giving right names, I feel I am serving this aspect of the art shopping better. Hope you will enjoy the titles!!!
