A Business

Once upon a time I thought I could be a professional photographer.

Then I realized I can't handle the competition.  Hence graduating in Art Education and not Photography.  So I will teach photography, and I will be my own photographer, and I will have my own high standards for who takes my family photographs and things.   But if anyone asks, I will still photograph them.  I just don't see myself building a business around that...

Question: What could I do to make money? Answer:  I started painting shoes- just started a little thing on Etsy here:   thebethslade.etsy.com

Just started, not a lot up.  But, I already have two orders for shoes!  If you want a pair, let me know!

  2. I am seriously impressed! I'll be interested to know if you can make much on a per/hour basis doing such detailed painting. I'd be way to slow to make it pay.

  4. Hi Amy!
    Ok, Lauren wants painted shoes - she gets a pair of Van's about 1x/year and was a little bummed they are so plain this year...she needs some pizzazz! So we are in the worn out pair looking for plan B. I am confused - is Beth Slade you? And do you have a choice of designs?
    Can you email me when you get a chance?
    Thank you!
