… We draw inspiration from the natural elements of the Australian landscape specializing in Australian natives and botanicals. We sell modern contemporary Australian wall art prints, wood wall art, candles, placemats, and cushions. Along with creating a modern contemporary feel with our artwork the emphasis has been on sourcing local sustainable resources on which to print our artwork.

… The majority of my products are custom made so am always happy to work on a new customer brief, however, my most popular products are the illustrated stories, where I paint an illustration from several landmarks in a couple’s relationship. These have been used for the wedding ‘Save the Dates’, invitations, or anniversary and Christmas gifts.

… Right now I have one listing, which is my “Happy Hallowap” sticker. I am currently using glossy label stickers to print them out. I design my products using Adobe Illustrator, which is great for printing and digital downloads because it won’t be pixelated.

… Reiju offers an inspiring range of natural, unique healing crystals and semi-precious gemstones to help boost mental and physical health and wellbeing and keep you smiling! All crystals come beautifully gift wrapped and are charged with positive Reiki Healing energy to harmonize, balance, and align the chakras.

… As a writer, I learned to write by writing. In the early days, I worked with an editor who taught me, line by line, how to write a book. As for the products I sell in Pink Gazelle Cards on Etsy, I just jumped in and started to create products – such as the quote card sets – to see if people would buy them.

… We print the photos that you chose on canvas, mugs, pillows, or phone cases. We also design various creative products such as airport-themed pillows, and t-shirts for special days. When the customers choose and send us their own or pets’ pictures to us, we send these pictures to our illustrators.

… First, I brew myself some coffee, early in the morning, think of what to add next what ideas I’d like to have in the store, then from there start the process of elimination. What would make more sense to introduce onto my virtual shelf. I tend to sketch next to the written idea so visually understands what I would need and what I wouldn’t need.

… Note that Etsy has two customers, the sellers, and the buyers. The buyers in the Etsy shop will never be “your” customers they are Etsy. The same for Amazon. Etsy is a great platform to be on however you need to diversify and get your own website as well. Etsy at any time can change their policies, their cost, advertising, etc and if that is the only place you are selling you need to comply with it or you can get kicked off the platform.

… After my Master Degrees in Fine Arts at the Sandberg Instituut, I started creating my first coloring books for adults. Now, I’ve made my own business out of it. It’s making it possible for me to practice my passion for drawing and designing every day. How great is that! I hope to convey my passion for the wonders of the world, through the creation of my coloring books and, in that way, inspire the people around me.

… Every customer brings their own inspiration. I ask people the story behind their image and try to understand who they are before I start. Once I feel I have something to work with I create a draft and work with the customer to make any adjustments before rendering the final image.
