Been kinda dividing my time between drawing, carving, cooking, and relentless hyperhund-walking. The drawing has been benefiting my Zazzle store. www.Zazzle.com/petitefrite Check for my new Chinese Love Cat design. Super extra cuteness!

At any rate, as far as ETSY is concerned, I've been trying to find a solution to my perennial problem of what to print, what size, and how many. For example, say I print a hoodie in size large, yellow. Someone wants it in a size small, yellow, or a size large red. Then the actual sample sits around for years waiting for the perfect buyer. Sometimes the perfect buyer never comes and I get another few sales for something almost exactly like it.
So, I decided to try a new idea: letting people send me a favorite garment or one of their choice to be printed. That way, I just do the printing, I don't have to worry about maintaining a stock of inventory, and stuff may be easier. Plus I can provide the design more cheaply, and people could get exactly what they want without me having to scour stores. Sounds ideal.... but we'll see if it really happens.
I started here with a print-your-own Peace Wiener shorts! Tomorrow, I'll post up some other designs people have bought tons of, and see how that works.
Well, I'm sleepy and overly warm and it's raining outside and I'm about through for tonight. Good night!
