lorimarsha's Etsy Shop - Handbags- Flaming Heart Messenger Bag
Scooterists love them some messenger bags! And alas! mine is rapidly disintegrating. So a combination of searching for a new one, as well as searching for ways to make a little cash off of my creative endeavors, brought me to etsy. I'd seen a few things posted on boingboing from here, but hadn't really dived in and really explored it. Now this is the new economy! It's like Ebay for creative folks (sellers) and those who appreciate them (buyers.)
They only accept handmade items (their definition of "hand-made" is arbitrary, but I think most folks would go along with it.) And they take a very reasonable cut... $.10 per item to list and 3.5% of each sale. YEAH! Folks the Dragon has had some gallery shows, and this is RIDICULOUS! Ridiculously FAIR to the artist! The art world standard is 40 to 60% for the retailer. And the quality/style of stuff they have is great. It's like a hipster's arts and crafts fair.
So, dig around, I think you'll find something you like.
Heck, in a little bit there might just be some of the Dragon's creations to had there...
