My Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/WinterSoulSt…
As many of you know, my main shop has always been located at Bigcartel: wintersoulstudios.bigcartel.co…
Well, I've been heavily considering the differences between Bigcartel and Etsy, and long story short, while I will be keeping the Bigcartel my main shop for the time being, I would really like to dip my toes in Etsy, if nothing else to see what the community is like over there. I've had my Etsy name for some time now, but in recent months have migrated a few of my unique paint jobs and items over, (some may have noticed this in my recent Hippocamp paints). I like the idea of having the Bigcartel shop be for custom pendant and blank orders, while my hand painted pieces being over on Etsy. This way, each of the hand painted pieces has their own page, there's no confusion on which piece you're ordering, plus each one gets their time to shine.
Since the main bulk of audience is here on the art gallery type sites, what do all of you think? Would this be too confusing to order? How have you liked ordering from my Bigcartel shop so far? Any thoughts on Etsy? Honest feedback is appreciated. Feel free to email me if you wish to keep your opinions a bit more private: ccarpenter (at) wintersoulstudios.com
With that, for anyone frequenting Etsy, support would be much loved! Stopping by to say hi, following the store, or even spreading the word helps me continue making art for all to see. Again, here's the shop: www.etsy.com/shop/WinterSoulSt…

Meet the Marble Collection
Just wrote up a just-for-fun post on Patreon, which is open for anyone to read. I thought it might be of interest to anyone who has adopted a sculpture, ornament, or pendant from me! Happy Friday, let's meet the marbles that one can find in my art. :) https://www.patreon.com/posts/meet-marbles-97268529
2023 Review
Welcome to 2024! Hope all of you had a smooth start to your year. Mine so far has carried over the theme of a rocky road - as most of my time has been struggling to sort out insurance, going to doctors appointments (mostly for my hand), and getting some kind of virus straight out of the gate. Yet, I’m hopeful for the year! On the outside, last year it seemed like the art side of life was quiet. But in reality, I’ve actually been making progress on my overdue commission list. Still some ways to go, due to one of the projects being far bigger than I had anticipated, but oh man I’m so excited to be finally working on the final sculpture! I need to do better at staying visible while I work behind the scenes. At the same time, I know I only had enough spoons to work quietly, as I’ve also been hit with a lot of difficulties this year. I’m proud that I stayed determined! In my other job, also proud of how much I learned! My work paid for me to take a canine first aid certification class
One Last Altar Cat Available!
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the last altar cat has opened up for availability! This is the last one in the series to be painted. She’s the “Queen” design, cast #4, deep blue orb with blue/white swirls. Early next year, I’m hoping to begin painting with the next batch of sculpts (ooh, could it be dragons?). Again, this is the final altar cat, all others have been painted. I can’t wait to put them all together in a compilation! If interested, the listing is up and running now: https://wintersoulstudios.bigcartel.com/product/altar-cat-queen-blue-4

Well, I had never heard of bigcartel until I started watching you, so Etsy may be more popular. Etsy is well established and has protection for the buyer and seller alike plus ratings I can refer to before spending a lot of money. Personally, I would rather shop Etsy, but your other store is definitely more attractive.
