*brushes dust off this page*

hello there! I have been... very quiet. but, with good reason! I have been figuring out my current irl dilemmas and navigation through the legal paperwork for turning this site into a full fledged business. I have officially become "SWEENEY'S STUDIOS LLC" & will be updating my business cards and webpage in the near future to reflect this!

Today I also added navigational buttons that stick to every page on the desktop version! I do intend to make a much simpler button system for the top of the page, but then again, it may just become a banner for misc. shenanigans. here in my art studio, shenanigans are encouraged.

ANYWHO!

BUSINESS IS NOW OPEN! I intended to have a lot more up on the sites store before my "offical launch" but c'est la vie. I currently do not accept paypal at this time, but this may change if paypal policies change - I have seen too many artists have bad experiences with paypal myself to feel up to taking that gamble aha. I only make exceptions on rare occasion to friends/family/people I have had good business history with, so, if you fall in that category, reach out to me and we'll figure it out!

I am currently shifting my focus more into uploads again, but, I do have quite a lot on my plate that I would like to achieve in the forseable future. Depending on interest, I may create a forum on the site for members only to engage in art discussions and such, as well as for those listed on the "other awesome businesses" page to get to share more in depth on this page what they get to do, their stories, etc. - My ultimate goal with this site, this platform, this business of mine, is to bring people together through art. Just as much as I want to share my art with the world, I also want to share those who have artistic endevors as well on my page to help build each other up. SO, that being said, please do feel free to comment on here if you've got a small business and want to have it featured on my other business page! Please note, this is not a 100% guarentee of being listed, but an opportunity to be potentially added to the page - I only guarentee slots for close friends & for family member businessess, but, I do intend to also add a feature each month for other small businesses as well! keep an eye out for that feature (:

all of this to say:

if you are reading this & have gotten this far - THANK YOU for your time & energy, and I do sincerely hope you enjoy your time browsing my collective of artworks created over numerous years of life. One day this site will be much larger than it is now, but, all in due time.

&&& of course, for those curious about upcoming listings, I still have easily over 40 unlisted acrylic paintings to finish doing a once-over double checking for mistakes in paint/quality and fixing (+ quite a few new van gogh inspired pieces to varnish, photograph, and list,) as well as 22 polymer clay sculptures that double as incense holders &/or necklaces, 3 sea pancake necklace charms, about 10 epoxy resin pieces (will be discounted/they're discoloured from age but still fully functional,) some UV resin keychains, and a few other misc. odds and ends. I also still need to do an inventory & photoshoot + labels for them, but, I have about 24 gemstone bracelets upcoming as well. I am shifting my focus from creating more bulk inventory & instead doing about a piece or two a week, but cateloging my studio area & all completed art pieces in need of listing/that are listed, providing them their necessary details like their name, price, and inventory log number.

Once I have thoroughly sorted through everything & listed it all, I would like to begin focusing on getting art prints made of some of my most prized paintings and digital works, as well as keychains, and potentially even lanyards, shirts, iron on patches, and more! I have been going down the rabbit hole with research, so to speak, so, stay tuned! Big things are happening, so please be patient with me, as Sweeney's Studios LLC is a one-woman-owned-and-operated business. I handle 100% of the process from creating the art, the listings, photographs, promotional images, all the way down to sending you your art in the mail.

All of this to say ~ I hope you guys enjoy! I will still be making changes here and there through the site and I am not satisified with the portfolio portion, and I also do not use social media (despite having handles for my art business on multiple platforms) so I am debating taking that page out, or incorporating the information into the "contact" page at the bottom. anywho, long ramble aside, big things are happening so be sure to become a member to make sure you don't miss an update! Members also receive extra access not listed for logged out viewing, such as sneak-peaks of future projects and such, as well as receive points and discounts through my rewards progrom! I will announce a more in depth reward program as it develops, but, there's a 20% off coupon amongst the deals c:

That's all from me for now!

Have a splendid day/night!

~ Sweeney's Studios
