I finally have my store up on Etsy! I'm excited. Check it out if you're interested in buying any of my crap. There are also a few things in there that I made five or so years ago and never posted on Deviantart. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6734754

Hello! I was going through a search on D.a and I stumbled upon your Little Shop of Horrors wallet and was wondering if you were still selling them :D If so, I would love to buy one since I have been obsessed lately with the movie and musical. Thanks!
Hello!
Funny you should ask because I actually just made another Little Shop of Horrors wallet for a friend of mine. I decided that I wasn't really a fan of those nylon wallets anymore (the wallets themselves just didn't seem very durable) so I decided to experiment with some wallets made from some other materials. I've drawn on a canvas and leather wallet in the past and thought that that came out pretty well: whyamitheconvict.deviantart.co… I've also recently started using wallets that are made of Tyvek paper material because they are meant to be extremely durable and my illustrations really stand out against the white surface. The American Psycho wallet I just made was Tyvek: whyamitheconvict.deviantart.co… and also the Little Shop of Horrors wallet I just made for my friend: whyamitheconvict.deviantart.co… If you want I could make another wallet for you with this same theme, however since the wallets I am using now cost me $15 to buy and there is a little more room for illustrations and detail I've had to mark the price of the wallets up quite a bit. I have two cream canvas and leather Eddie Bauer in stock right now that cost me $15 and I could easily order another blank Dynomighty Tyvek wallet for $15 as well. Because of the time I put into the artwork now the total price for a custom wallet now would have to be $50, but like I said, it would also be much more durable and higher quality than my old ones. If you're still interested let me know and I can set you up a custom listing in my Etsy shop! Thanks! --Bailey

I am very interested, I am right now looking to get a job since I am in High school so I thought if I could note you when I have gotten enough money I can put in a commission. Is that alright if I do that, I don't want to sound like I am not interested anymore because I still love the design!
Thanks for the fave on my goblin child!
:w00t:
Can I ask you a question? I've been looking through your etsy shop and all your bags/wallets on here, and I am considering giving decorating wallets/bags a try myself!

I was just wondering if you could give me an idea of how many you cell a month and about how much you make? I am trying to figure out if I can afford to get a project like this started as well.
Thanks for any info you can give me, and keep up the good work! ;)
Yeah, and thanks! Originally I was selling about half of my purses on Etsy and half in a physical store that let me keep my stuff in there for free since I know the owner. I would say that both venues were about equal in sales, I'd sell one in the store then one on Etsy...it pretty much alternated. I no longer have my stuff up in that local store as of a couple months ago but my stuff still seems to be selling pretty well on Etsy alone. I've made around forty bags total to put up for sale since I started this venture and so far I have sold thirty-five of them (one I donated to a charity fundraiser and I still have four bags left in my Etsy shop.) When I list them in that $20-$50 price range they seem to have an excellent track record of selling. I seem to sell at least one bag a month, but it really depends on how many I am putting up for sale I guess. It's always good to have a variety of items at different prices for people to choose from. I would also make sure you buy your bags/wallets from secondhand, clearance or bulk sources so you can keep the cost of materials low. Ebay, hobby shops and thrift stores are great. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for replying! I am attempting to get some art in a gallery this summer, and I've been looking for another way to make some money off of my art. And I thought this was a great idea when I saw your merchandise! :dance: I was thinking the same thing about the buying the bags at second-hand stores or in bulk! I really appreciate the advice, and I'll be sure to let you know if I start selling bags/wallets too! :boogie:
