Today I found that I am a featured artist on this blog.

Here’s the direct link.—> {Click here to view}

• I’ve updated both my “About Alisha” and “Contact” pages, so be sure to check those out and add me on Myspace and Flickr if you have those. (see contact page for my Myspace and Flickr URL’s)

As you may know, I’ve decided to start selling some of my paintings and prints. The news is that I’m now, simultaneously, raising funds and awareness for Project Rescue. (50% of my profits are being donated, see www.ProjectRescue.com for more info) It’s been a long time dream of mine to use my art to help others. I’d like to invite you to visit my store …and I also need your help.

Since opening my shop on Etsy, just eleven days ago, I’ve already received a lot of great feedback and reviews. My work has been featured in eight treasuries and one blog. (refer to this post see what a treasury is) The outlook seems good, but no sales yet. I really need, and would love, all of my readers and friends to help in spreading the word about my this latest venture with my online shop.

Here are some ideas:

• You can copy and paste this post (or my latest newsletter) and email it to everyone that you think may be interested.

• Post info or my blog URL on your blogs, Myspace, Facebook, Xanga, etc.

• Write a post in your blog telling everyone about what I’m doing and to check out my store. www.alishavernon.etsy.com my blog AlishaVernon.com and Project Rescue.

• Here’s a link to the newsletter, if you want to post it somewhere or email it. http://alishavernon.com/newsletter

• Tell your mom, your dog, etc…..you get the idea,… let’s get creative here people.

I’m also inviting everyone to join me on this journey, and get some fun behind the scenes info, by subscribing to my blog, if you haven’t already. Just type your email address in the box on the upper right.

I now ship internationally.  …..at reasonable prices, using USPS first class.

All I can say is “Whoa Mama!”….. ok and maybe a little “Wa Wa Wee Wah!” too. (like Borat)

Basically, I’m super excited!

My little experiment of putting a few of my paintings on Etsy is going awesome. This is only the second day and I’ve already been told by two people that they’re going to feature me in their blog, and I’m in 2 treasuries on Etsy. A treasury, on Etsy, is a group of photos of people’s art/crafts compiled by a another member of Etsy. All of these are put into the “Treasury” section on the site and that’s where the front page images are selected from. So, once someone puts you in a treasury, there’s the possibility of going to the front page and getting some major exposure. Plus, just being in a treasury gets you some extra views because people like to see what’s in there. How cool is that!? 2 in just two days.

Here are they are! Click on each image to see it full size. In each one, my paintings are on the bottom row.

{If nothing comes up when you click it’s probably because that one is expired. Try the other one. They only stay on the site for a few days. On the top box I’m in the lower left, and on the bottom box, I’m in the lower right}
