How did you get your start?

For a while, I'd been trying to get my work out with little success. I discovered Etsy by accident, looking for a gift for my friend. I saw some really nice works here and decided to give Etsy a try.

Where do you get your inspiration?

I get my inspiration from my surrounding.  I am especially interested in nature, music, art, and architecture.

What has been your biggest successful moment so far?

When my mini pillow was featured on the Rachael Ray Show in 2007. That was the big hit for me.  My desk calendars also have been published in the book called " Wheel of Time: Calendar Design".  Here’s the link:

What challenges do you face selling online?

I still have a lot to learn in term of marketing and promotion.  Those are the biggest challenges for me.

What advice would you give someone just starting out on Etsy?

Spend a bit of time learning how the site functions before you start.  Don’t give up. Enjoy!
