Happening Sydney Opera House

In this photography work, I have tried to maximize the crystal clear beautiful Sydney Opera House, on one of those bright and sunny days, with blue skies and equally beautiful blue ocean surrounding the world famous landmark structure. I loved the walk along, as I mentioned in my previous post, and also the lively cafes nearby and the delight on people's faces as they see this landscape and immerse themselves into it. Well needless to say, the performance inside are also equally stunning. I watched sitar concert by world famous Anoushka Sharma, in the main concert hall of the Opera House. It was an experience. Hope u will enjoy this photograph as part of my urban photography series-

Photography Prints of My Artworks

Realized that many of the photographs I hadtaken at different places, are good artworks in first place. Hence have started listing those on the etsy shop. So far have got a positive feedback from my friends. Well a few of my photography artworks have been sold on fotolia.com as well. Also one of my friends who is very passionate about photography has approached me, for listing his artwork. We are planning to have a meeting very soon. I hope he brings in a great collection for Creations-The Art Shop's photography collection. More about my friend and our meeting soon..I am eager to grow this product line of my shop over the time. Isnt the world of art so unlimited and full of creativity?

Experimentation With Prints

I had been thinking of doing this for long time and finally managed to do it, thanks to dad for his knowledge, help and right references. Now that our etsy shop is picking up and paintings being liked and loved, we got some select paintings printed and thus reproduced. The reproduction was done on canvas and a good scan quality is very essential. The printing press we know of (that my dad has already worked with) helped us greatly and this small project was thus successful. The idea behind this experimentation is to be able to re-create the artwork and be able to make it available to the buyers at lower costs (Original and print will always defer in pricing). We will see to it that our buyers also see prints in future and be able to purchase those at more attractive prices. Well they say - if you yourself use what you sell, then you are truly committed to what you are selling. Well, I got these prints framed and now I will be able to decor my own home with these greatly framed dad's prints. I have also got one of my dad's large size original paintings framed for my own home (thereby deleting it from etsy shop ...). Three cheers.

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.
