Good morning fellow inmates!
I've been working on getting my shop loaded and setting up the ability to take credit cards and I am happy to say that both have been done!
My Etsy shop is now open at : https://www.etsy.com/shop/RavenNtwngCreations
I have put in a few pieces, including all 3 deer skulls and several canvasses with more to come. I am also all set to accept credit cards at whatever con I go to next.
I picked up a couple of interesting things at several estate sales this last week and a couple of those will eventually make it into the shop when I am done adding my special touch to them.
This week is full of outings, beginning with an auto auction on Wednesday and several more estate sales on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. My husband also has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, so I'm not going to have a lot of time to work this week. I better get stuff done while I can so I have to take off now. Keep it creepy folks! Until next time..
Welcome to my blog full of everyday ramblings and updates on what I am working on in the studio.

Back from Monster-Con and Moving Forward
Good morning fellow inmates!
Monster-Con is done, we had a great time and now it's time to look towards the future for Raven Nightwing Creations. I have a lot of things I want to do, so I've decided to work on some new projects in different art mediums. I have always loved nature photography, and have dabbled in it for a few years, but never really did a lot with it. I am thinking of working more with it and see where that leads. I am also going to try my hand at resin art and upcycling furniture.
To be honest, sales this past weekend weren't where I wanted them. I got tons of people saying they liked my canvasses, but not a lot of buyers. I had one woman buy 5 though. I think that most of my stuff was to classic for the folks there so I need to update and modernize things.
Art is difficult sometimes. It depends on so many factors that can't be controlled, like the type of folks coming by the booth and their ages and what is popular right then. I am conflicted as to whether I should stay with the things I have done and hope I get sales or if I should follow the crowd and do what's "in". Maybe a bit of both?
Today I am going to set up an Etsy shop and see how that goes. Maybe things will work better this way. I will be dong other cons, just not until after the first of the year. I need time to work stuff out and get it organized. I will continue working on things though. For now, here are a couple of pics from Monster-Con with some new friends I made :)
Killer Clowns from San Antonio came by. Jingles on the left, me, Giggles on the right. Great guys and watching them terrify folks was a riot :)
My daughter and granddaughter came out to help.
