Today's post is going to be a bit different from what I have been putting up on here. I figured since it's the start of a new year and somehow I managed to end last month with a total of 30 posts, it was the perfect time to try out a new experiment. A couple of years ago a friend of mine turned me onto a site called Society 6, a place where she had ordered most of her prints that decorated her apartment. For those who haven't heard of it, which I've come to realize is most people, it's a more art focused Etsy. Artists submit their work to the site, decide what products they want their images printed on to, set the prices for certain items, and reap the royalties when people order things. Like Etsy, users can follow the artists/ other users they love but they can also promote the pieces they enjoy so that others will see it. The images that can be found are an amazing mixture of ideas and styles. Some are artists interpretations of pop culture, which range from adoration to the rather bizarre, while others are more abstract and stylized ideas. But no matter what your preferred decorating style is, it's really easy to find something that strikes your fancy.
When I was in the process of starting the blog, my friend suggested creating a space on Society 6 so that people could buy my prints. While I rather doubt this is going to be a source of revenue for me, I thought it would be an interesting experiment. In the very least I figure it'll increase the traffic to my site a little bit. So to start my collection, I picked a third of the images that I've posted on here so far. I tried to pick things throughout the total, kind of sticking with my personal favorites. The thought process is that at the start of each month I'll add five more; so if you have a particular favorite you really want to get, leave a comment somewhere with it and I'll do my best to accommodate. I also thought I would keep it small to start, which is why the only products available are the different types of prints you can get. Again if you really want to have a coffee cup or a tote bag with one the photographs, let me know and I might add it on later. I've kept the titles of the images the title of the original post, in an attempt to make life a little easier. If you haven't guessed, the slideshow at the top is the first batch. Check it out, let me know what you think, and we shall see where this experiment goes. https://society6.com/maggieondrey
