Adrien Art - Painting, Sculpture and Pottery by Adrien Miller

I would like to feature a wonderful artist today. Adrien Miller is a potter, a painter and a sculptor. He is a visual artist and creates pottery and paintings of the human form. His studio is based in Seattle and is a member of the Etsy Recyclers Guild Team, as am I. I randomly chose his sculpture in a Treasury before I actually began talking to him for this interview. I liked his art as soon as I first set eyes on it! His sculpture is the lovely torso in the top row of the Treasury below. Visit his Etsy shop, ADRIEN ART at : http://www.etsy.com/shop/AdrienArt?ref=pr_shop_more# His shop is filled with fantastic pottery, vessels bearing faces, torsos on tea pots and paintings of the human body. It is surely a magical place! I asked Adrien some questions about his Etsy experience. When and why did you start selling on Etsy? "I opened my Etsy shop on November 10th, 2009. I needed to do it. I make art with most of my time, and I was having an issue with not minding

I have lost 62 lbs since my last post! This is my before photo.  I feel so much better now. Hello friends, I know it has been ages since a post.  Lots of crazy things have happened from surgery to Covid 19 quarantine!! We have been doing some projects in our time off.  Our backyard had an old shed ,painted red, and rotting.  The hubby (Len) decided to help me paint, replace wood walls, and insulate to make a "She Shed". Rotted wood on the shed walls. This project took a week or more.  Len said we could have built a whole new shed !! We scraped and painted as best we could. Now it will be painted a safety blue.  This is paint Len found for free.  He  also made new barn doors for me. Finished painting the outside.  Now for the inside!! Dirt bin and mosaic top to the potters bench (made from broken china) Inside painted and partially panel wood veneer.   We used what we had and there is some insulation behind it. I used an o

Blog Post ala' RetroChalet- Cindy

I wanted to give a shout out to Cindy at RetroChalet , she is what I call my "Wifey" and our two shops are "married" in spirit.  She is my Etsy mentor. Cindy has been so helpful to me, she's always ready to comment and critique the RetroBabs Vintage shop. Recently, we has a discussion about Titles and Tagging of items on Etsy. I had this item titled as a Red Apple Canister but Cindy came up with 20 other ideas for the title and tags.  Red Delicious and Cookie Jar to be the few that were excellent.  Her take on the issue was the fact that the more "HITS" one gets for an item -the greater the chance for a sale.  The Canister and Cookie jar folks might also include an apple collector and a lover of vintage.  The more ground you cover the more people you can reach. I eliminated useless descriptions that did not fall under the Relevancy criteria of Etsy and Google searches. She wrote a great article on the subject for the Handmadeology Blog   ca
