Click Here to Purchase - $200 - 6x6in. - oil on panel
I bought the little stripey cup on Temu. It's my only purchase using the site, and I wasn't crazy about it. But the cup is fine. It comes with a matching saucer, and I've tried painting them together several times, but it never works out. I'll get it eventually.
Speaking of bad purchasing experiences, if you enjoy sewing and are considering purchasing patterns on Etsy, beware! Apparently there are a bunch of pattern scams, and I fell for one with my first purchase. After many frustrating hours, I realized the pattern was physically impossible to complete. Here's a video I found about how to avoid these scams. Us makers have to stick together!
How do you not see the irony of buying things on Temu while rallying for makers to stick together? Temu is a dangerous combo of drop shipping, literal slave labour, hazardous & toxic working conditions, design theft from Etsy artists (again, google it) and identity theft for the Chinese state. This has been reported time and time again this year.
ReplyDeleteReally good point, I agree. I guess I just didn't think about it. I definitely won't use them again.
