I have come to the realization that 8 megapixals is just not enough anymore. Which is rather disappointing, considering I just got a 8MP camera this past Christmas lol.
See, here's the thing...
Recently, my mother approached me on the subject of starting an Etsy shop. This idea thrilled me and I have since been researching to see what things sell, the price ranges for different items, what's worth my time, what's not, things of that nature. My dreams are growing by the day....
However, the low quality camera I own, while great on a regular picture-taking basis, will not hold up in comparison to the awesomeness of the other (what I would deem) "successful" Etsy sellers. What sells are the well displayed items.... good lighting, good design, great stitch definition being shown.... my camera cannot compete.... But, at least I'm willing to try :)
My mother crochets to a certain extent, but she excells at sewing, and considering I'm an awesome crocheter that sucks at sewing, it works out. She also makes gorgeous fabric flowers and buttons, and is pretty creative. We both have talents in taking inexpensive objects and incorporating them in beautiful ways. I think we'll make a great team! We both work full-time jobs, so this would mainly be a side business to make a few extra dollars. It will give us something to do together, even if we don't sell anything it'll still be fun!
