First, let me introduce myself. My name is Robert and I run the arts and crafts business
RJGOriginals for my family. I also work as a freelance/ghost writer with a main business hub at the media blog
Sketchy Details. But this isn't about me.
This is about you, your interest in arts and crafts, and your web-based business.
This week, a really exciting project managed to get funded in just under 3 days through Kickstarter.com. The
April's Army Tarot Project is an international effort to design and print a full (78 card) size tarot deck inspired by the website
Regretsy.
Despite what you may have heard, Regretsy is actually a strong arts and crafts community filled with artists, crafters, shoppers, and humor enthusiasts who agree that not every hand-crafted item is automatically worthy of praise. There's a place for a swift dose of reality in the art world and Regretsy is not afraid to deliver it. Simply put: if you believe your work is above criticism, you shouldn't try to sell it because you will never win over everyone with anything you produce. Lighten up and remember that art is not life or death; it's just art.
However, beyond the snarky exterior, Regretsy has turned into a tight community of similarly-minded people.
