Introduce Yourself: ​  Hi! I’m Klaryza, I’m a self-taught calligrapher based out of Saskatoon, SK. I create items from cards, home décor art pieces, to customized items for weddings. I’m a wife and a mom, and I spend most of my free time on my family and learning more about calligraphy.
What is the name of your shop and how long have you been open?  My shop is called Klaryza Calligraphy.  I have been open since 2015, so about 2 years.

How long have you been doing your craft? ​  I started lettering when I was 15 (back in 2003), but rekindled my interest in 2015.​
How did you get started?  My dad had a book all about different lettering styles and in 2015, I saw a post on Instagram about modern calligraphy. That’s when I decided to re-learn lettering.
Where can people find you online?  
I have an Instagram account: @klaryzgraphy

What do you like about selling on Etsy?   ​It’s very easy to use, and my page looks professional without any hassles. The community is great, and I can reach a lot of audience through Etsy.
What brought you to Etsy?  I have seen from an Instagram account that they sell their handmade products on Etsy, and so I decided to check it out. ​

What's been your best Etsy experience?  Best experience for me was when someone contacted me for a big custom order. Most of my orders are customized and I like making them because it means a lot to the customers.

What is the name of your shop?  My shop is called Megan’s Piñatas
​
How long have you been doing your craft?  I have been making piñatas for over 20 years now. ​
How long has your shop been open?   I opened up shop on Etsy at the beginning of March 2016
​
How did you get started?  My mom used to make piñatas for mine and my siblings’ birthdays and I loved to help make and decorate them. I love to make (and smash) piñatas for any occasion -even if there’s no birthday. Once I had my own children, I carried on the tradition because it just didn’t seem like a birthday party without a piñata. I just took the leap and started selling them in the past year.

What do you like about selling on Etsy?   I love that anyone all over the world can see my work -not just local folks (although I do love all my Saskatchewan customers)
What brought you to Etsy?  I wanted to expand my reach and try to sell to more people. I think my piñatas are pretty unique compared to more traditional crepe paper piñatas (most of mine in the past have been painted) and thought maybe others would enjoy them too. ​

What's been your best Etsy experience?   My best experiences on Etsy are when a customer sends me a photo of my piñata in use - I love to see the kids smiling and loving it. ​

What do you like about selling on Etsy?  What I like about selling on Etsy...hmmm...I have only sold one item! But it was so exciting, never the less to know someone out there actually likes what I do!
What brought you to Etsy?  My daughters and daughter-in-law brought me to Etsy. They would be wearing something they bought on Etsy and I would always ask
them where they got it and they would say "Etsy"! So of course, I was curious to know what "Etsy" is and had to check it out. I have bought a few things from Etsy and have also sent some gift cards. So you can see I like Etsy!
What's been your best Etsy experience?   My Etsy experience is very new to me, but in the last couple of weeks I have had so much fun! It is a lot of fun to see people favouriting my shop or even just viewing it from all over the world. I feel like I am connecting with other creative people.

Is there anything else you would like to share with us about your shop or yourself?   One thing that I like about having my own little Etsy company is that I have the freedom to create what I want and not be bound by the limits of a large publishing company.I am free to be just me!
