100th Sale on the Art Shop and an artwork image sale subsequently :-)

It has been a long wait, as they say before a great joy of 100th sale. I will inform you all about the customer and her own joys in her own words very soon. In the meantime, I really feel that my father is getting to live beyond his lifetime via the energy being passed on from one thing to other, from his soul to his artworks and through his artworks to the buyers that deeply connect with his artwork.

As part of celebration of this 100th sale, I shipped the artwork via courier and not regular post at my own expenses. Hopefully buyer C H Howell has by now received it or is soon to get it much earlier than expected.

I am also getting to improve my shipping options further depending upon the type of artwork whether it is canvas or paper based or something else. The type of artwork will decide the best suggested shipping option from my side. Of course buyer can override it if for e.g. it gets too expense for him or her to pay courier charges and is ok with regular post which is more time taking plus at the risk of - for paper based artworks- being not handled 100% carefully by regular post option. Of course from my side the shipping quality will be equal in both cases, regular as well as courier, just that each mode offers different pros and cons.

Lastly, there has been 101 th sale as well which was a sale of downloadable image of the artwork by a yoga institute owner, Mary Bruce, in the US. She has used it for her website http://www.marybruce.com/parayoga-invocation.html and I am thrilled about it She has also given due credits to the artist - Chintaman Rudra- my father and my artshop. 

Happy Ganesh (Ganesha) Chaturthi , Elephant God Festival Celebration in India and across the world

With upcoming festival of lord of wisdom, our dear elephant god, Ganesha whom several people across the world worship and admire for its virtues, let me wish you all happy festive times. My father particularly had such a strong hold and fine brush with Ganesha paintings. Of course he did several other arts as well, such as other folk art paintings, nature paintings, abstract, at the same time I think Ganesha paintings were so nature of him.

In his abscence, I am part of close team of artists who paint in their own great style and we have several new works. Hope the watchers and shoppers of my shop will love those as well.

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.
