My Society6 shop

The artwork on Society6 is created by hundreds of thousands of artists from around the world.

When you buy a product from Society6, we produce it using only the highest quality materials, and ship it to you on behalf of the artist.

 I just opened up a Society6 shop with items made with my artwork.  They make it so easy to do.  Just upload your jpg in the right size and have your designs turned into all kinds of products without losing the rights to your artwork.  

I now have a shop full of tote bags, pillows, coffee mugs, skins and prints.   I just got my computer skin last week and it looks fantastic.

Here are some more samples of products available in my store.  http://society6.com/PaigeSchillerHirsch

Next Up- Sewing

As some of you already know, I have been taking sewing lessons for the past few weeks.
I've had some of my painting designs printed on fabric and want to start selling items using this fabric.

One problem, I didn't know how to sew well.  So I started taking lessons from Kesa @FreehandsCraftStudio in Silver Spring and things are going really well.
I thought pillows would be a great way to incorporate my fabric but I think they are going to be too time consuming and too bulky to pack and display at shows.  We did sew one pillow and it came out great, so maybe in the future I will venture this way again.

 But for now, I am focusing on scarves and little bags.  Last night we finished my scarf prototype.  Its a patchwork design infinity scarf.  I love how it came out but it might be just a tad too bulky so I might cut down the size of the squares slightly to see if I can get it just right.

 And next time I will actually use my fabric.   Just too scared to ruin it on my first try.
Next week we tackle small bags with a zipper!
I will share pics when I have them.
Wish me luck  If you are interested in sewing lessons I can't recommend Kesa enough.  You can find her here:  http://freehandscraftstudio.com
