Ooh ...I'm happy you were inspired to go there by my banner, and mostly, I'm thrilled you did your first sale so quickly on it ! 😊 ❤️
I didn't sell anything there so far 😉
Just recently there have been a lot of new additions to the site so that more people are engaging there about their work. Which is perhaps stimulating more people to look at the work of others. The concept of a digital gallery combined with social media is VERY creative. I love it. So happy to have followed you there Barbara. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
I'm so pleased that you liked Sylvia's music @nurseanne84. It's very much music from the heart and so it's not all that surprising that it touched your heart in that way. I'll pass on your comment to Sylvia and she may wish to add something as well. Thanks so much. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
You personally sylvia? That is so amazing! I love her song so much that I constantly listen to it even whatever I am doing. I listen to her through spotify
Thanks so much Manol. I'm still on Cloud 9 about it all.
You don't have to be working with digitized imagery as in Photoshop, to set up a Makers Place Gallery. Although many people there are working with some rather interesting imagery software.
Just adding a photographic image, technically speaking digitizes the limited editions of it ie images become available to Collectors as digital images. It's a wonderful platform for creatives to share their work on and I'd encourage you to have a look at it. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
The dream of earning an income from my artwork has been such a long time 'dream' of mine and so this one sale now has really sparked that dream anew. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Congratulations on your first sale! With your wonderful energy & beautiful work it does not surprise me one bit. And now I hope it will rain because I really want to stick my feet in the wet ground...😆
Just one sale been such an affirmation for me that it IS possible to attract online buyers to my work @plantstoplanks.
I hope you've had some mud producing rain and have been able to feel the squelch of it between your toes. We haven't has serious rain for so long and winter has just about gone ~ All the early spring signs are here. Magnolias and irise and the first of the blossoms and freesias. Beautiful, but really dry again, so I'm hoping it will rain here as well. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
A beautifully worded post here my friend.
I have two loves in life, charity work empowering the poor and nature.
Spiritually I have only one love and that's for our Creator.
Simple and sweet.
Blessings!
Being able to sell the occasional image online at Makers Place would be VERY empowering for this 'poor' artist. Although sales aren't my primary focus, it would sure help towards 'the rent and bills.'
The song is also about the connection we have to our Creator when we connect to the beauty and physicality of the earth.
A lot of Sylvia's songwriting is about connecting and reconnecting. Connecting to people and nature and reconnecting during those time when we might not be in the space/place we'd like to be in. Like being in the middle of the city and calling out to feel the connection we can still have with our Creator, no matter where we are. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Inner peace is what it's all about my friend.
During our many years of moving around from shoddy places to other shoddy places we accepted our lot and didn't allow it to disturb our peace.
The connection to our Creator comes from Him, as it's called Free grace and we would have fared terribly badly if the connection were to come from us.
Nothing can stand in the way of the connection.
Blessings!
It sure was @foxyspirit. I've had some of my photographic images in my gallery at Makers Place for 5 months now. I love the concept but have felt that it would take a while for 'collectors' to resonate with the concept and actually pay for acquiring a collection of digital images. So what made this sale all the more amazing is that it was TOTALLY unexpected.
My thinking about Makers Place has been through quite a shift as a result. Artists offer their work for sale through credit card or Ether. Time for me to learn a little more about Ether now too.♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Lovely! It's great when it's unexpected as it's definitely more of a surprise and gives a heightened experience. Definitely a good idea to learn about ether 😊
So much to learn @foxyspirit ~ But I'm being pushed to learn sooner rather than later. I just sold my second piece from Makers Place. Yes. Surprises like this are FANTASTIC. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Pleasure @amalinavia. Your paintings would have a wonderful home at Makers Place. The actual drawing/painting/photograph doesn't have to be a digital image ~ As in being created in photoshop etc. The work is called 'digitized art' by virtue of it being in a virtual online gallery.
Having your images at Makers Place is a great way of copyright protecting them. Which was one of the reasons I became interested. No-one can take an image that has been uploaded and displayed at Makers Place and share it at FB etc without attributing the artist. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
That is awesome news about your first sale and the significance of the date too being on 8/8! I remember my first sale of my music and it doesn't happen often but when it does you want to give a massive hug to the person that liked your music or creation so much they went out and bought it!
Congratulations and keep up the positive vibes hey!
I love synchronicity and numbers and special dates like that Nicky.
I used to sell my silk paintings and collages at different craft events around Sydney and always felt a tremendous amount of gratitude to the people who appreciated my work that much that they bought it. It brings back memories now of how it actually felt when in direct contact with a buyer. YES ~ I'd love to be able to give the person who bought this image now, a heartfelt hug.
Up until now, it was only possible for digital visual artists/photographers to upload images/GIFs to a Makers Place gallery. But it's now going to be possible for video artists, which I'd have to check, but I presume will include sound artists, to upload their work at Makers Place too. This may interest you? ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
It might be worth looking into, thanks for the info. I will have to make do with the digital hug giving for now haha.
I've just spent the last few days updating my website to make it look a little more professional but I am on that border of being a serious hobbyist. I love what I do and create but I can't live off of it so day job and side hustle for now 🙂
I just received a reply from Dannie, the founder of MP.
Please refer your friend and we'll get them set up! We currently don't offer just sound, but we do support video art which has or doesn't have sound.
So if this interests you Nicky you would just need to join the MP Discord and go to the Support section and ask Dannie @Dannie | MakersPlace for an invitation to join MP.
I understand only too well the plight of a creative who loves to create but can't earn an income from it ~ At the same time it's good to start somewhere and places like Steemit and MP allow us to gain more exposure of our work ~ Which all helps. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Thanks a lot @allyinspirit! I'll have to do some more research on this if it's not possible for just sound. Video art makes it sound like it's graphics and things like that? Is MP connected to steem then?
Makers Place is quite independent of Steemit. Work is purchased with Etherium or credit card.
I think if you aren't into graphics/animation etc for music videos you could do just the one image as a cover image and leave the emphasis on the sound. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Such wonderful news @allyinspirit Congratulations on your sale. I Hope it will be the first of many. I must take a look at the Makers Place website myself. Have an awesome week ahead. 🌼 🌻 🌼
Thanks so very much Trudee. I hope you'll look at Makers Place. Great place for artists and photographers as well as digital artists to share their creativity.
As well as setting up your own Gallery some well-organized contests are conducted through the MP Discord: Some of the themes I really love eg 'Delicate Balance' is one that I'm starting to come up with a few new ideas for at the moment.
These contests are a great way for MP creatives to have their work seen by other creatives as well as potential collectors. It's a totally new concept in online galleries that hopefully will take off. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

When the eth flows, there are quite a lot of works I'd like to add to my own MP' Collection' including something of yours Barbara. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Great music! I don't know but the beat sort of felt like my own heart beat. ahahahaha
I'm so pleased that you liked Sylvia's music @nurseanne84. It's very much music from the heart and so it's not all that surprising that it touched your heart in that way. I'll pass on your comment to Sylvia and she may wish to add something as well. Thanks so much. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
You personally sylvia? That is so amazing! I love her song so much that I constantly listen to it even whatever I am doing. I listen to her through spotify
Well done, congrats!
You got me curious about Makers Place.

Fabulous ephemeral artwork, and exciting news about a new marketplace! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much @thekittygirl.
I'm really happy that you like this piece. Was wonderful to create. It required the utmost attention and even then the rocks kept falling over.
The Makers Place Gallery is a fabulous way for artists to showcase their work. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Amazing work and congratulations on that sale. I wish you more success on your endeavor.
Thanks so much @watersnake.

This is a really nice post, love the poetry, and the music
Thanks so much @wales.
The poetry under the images are some of the lines from Sylvia's song: Earth Beneath My Feet.
Delighted that you took some time to listen to it and liked the music too. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
A beautifully worded post here my friend.
I have two loves in life, charity work empowering the poor and nature.
