Hello Debbie and welcome. Cannot help on the art front but you seem to have listed fine.

As you are a plus member you can feature your designs in a banner on your shop. Minimum of 3 but better if a few more. That way the front page rotates with new designs. Find this option under dashboard, shopkeeping and feature. Just click on the star.

Also in plus you can have sections ie wildlife, abstract etc. I know you only have 4 designs listed arm but worth looking at for the future. Again dashboard, collections. When you list and scroll down you will see a section to highlight the collection once set up.

We are all here to help and sure others will be along later to give you some more pointers. I have been here quite a few years now and lovely to be in a team.

Love the stave church, they are beautiful buildings.

Welcome Debbie…lovely shop
we have an art chat thread on the forums…you might need to scroll down to find it.
You are welcome to come and say hello and share your art.
The best way to get sales is to list LOADS..keep adding items so that your shop looks different every time someone takes a look.
I have over 400 items in my shop and have been here for 15 years !
Everyone here is very friendly and will help you if you get stuck.xxx

Hi and welcome, your shop looks great and you already know more than I do about setting things up. I have been here nearly a year and only just learned ( from the comments here ) how to do the collections and featured items! You could say I’m a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to computer stuff :face_with_diagonal_mouth: :sauropod: But you live and learn and this is a lovely community x

Welcome Deborah. Your shop looks great and your work is beautiful.
I’ve nothing specific to add but as has been stated, the sellers here on Folksy are incredibly friendly, extremely helpful and are so talented in more ways than just the crafts they have here on display! I’ve been here for a year now and still discovering new nuances every week it seems so strap in, enjoy the ride and wishing you every success

Hi Debbie and welcome to Folksy. I think your shop looks really good, keep adding new items, I know this takes ages but it’s worth persevering! Don’t forget to add links to your social media accounts and if you don’t have any then it’s important to set these up as they will drive customers to your shop. Good luck and if you have any questions we’re always here to help.
