Etsy’s Dark Side Holiday Countdown

As an artist, I know how difficult it can be to juggle paying the bills and do what you love. I love writing about artists and crafters on Screamstress because I know I’m helping to promote people who are passionate, creative and serious about what they do. With the economy the way it is right now it’s important to support your local and artistic community, because I can’t think of a better holiday gift than one that has been made handmade with love. I can guarantee you’ll be investing in something that will make a difference for the artist as well as the person you’re buying for. Everyone appreciates a thoughtful and unique gift so much more than the random thing you tore off the shelf at Walmart.

Through the end of December, I will be featuring several artists whose work represents the dark and decadent side of Etsy. If bones, zombies, witches and creepy dolls fill you with the holiday spirit more than the usual fare, please consider purchasing a gift for yourself or a loved one from one of these great shops.

Why do you Etsy?

Why not! It’s a fun place for buyers and sellers who are in love with handmade. Also, Etsy seems rather cute so I am there to give it balance between light and dark art.

Why do you Etsy?

I am a fine arts painter by trade but wanted to offer customers more affordable artwork like cards, jewelry, and home decor. Etsy is a great way to get artists more exposure and also meet other artists with similar interests/tastes.
