Fine Example of Teamwork on Etsy

For the past year, I've been fortunate enough to be part of a very cool team of sellers on Etsy. This team is called "Killercool" and they do know how Etsy works. The members are successful sellers and this success is partly due to their personal abilities, original product, fine product photography but also partly to their willingness to work as a team.

 Today is the team's second anniversary and the members, me included, were "treasuring" each other continuously since last night. 100 member in the team, 3 treasuries per member, that makes min 300 treasuries in 24 hours!!! My shop has been lucky enough to be chosen for more than 20 treasuries, that is a real boost for my viewing numbers and it did not cost me a cent (except of my time, of course), but I do enjoy making treasuries, it is almost like curating an exhibition. When the artists are good, the work is done quickly and well and we all sell!

Thank you so much my fellow team members, you rock!!!

Here are just 3 examples of the fabulous treasuries I had the honour to be featured in.

Art History for Shopaholics - Gustav Klimt

The potraits painted by Klimt are all full of gold and decadent decorations. Here is a section of one of my favourites. The title is 'Expectation' (1909) and it can be found in the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna, Austria

Art History for Shopaholics - Frida Kahlo

I love the History of Art and thought this could be a fun way to introduce some of the famous portraits of women....

This is the original:
Frida Kahlo, Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, Nikolas Muray Collection, Harry Ransom Center, The University of Texas at Austin (Wikipedia)



And this is the easy way to become Frida for a day (or two)...
