Shannon Kish - Artist

This is my art diary. I love to dabble in different things, but mainly I love to draw, sculpt and make jewelry. This site documents my lessons learned as I delve into other areas of "play."
As you can see, I have a bit of an obsession with big-headed men. I like the large craniums. Stay a bit and look around!

A Sale...YAY!


I finally sold this pair of earrings on Etsy!



I made them so long ago. They had like nine different people favorite them, but nobody wanted to buy them at $18.00. Then I raised the price to $23.00 and someone bought them. Interesting. Do people think if they pay more for something that it must be better? It seems silly, but I know of a couple different scenarios where this has proven to be true. For example, I have this friend who is a photographer, http://www.justinkphotography.com. When he first started his business, he didn't charge quite as much as other photographers and business was slower, but as soon as he raised his rates, he started getting more jobs. It could just be coincidental that business started picking up around the same time he raised his rates, but there seems to be some correlation. I suppose it depends on your target audience.
