I'm printing and laminating, when I have an extra afternoon, toward that end. Etsy seems to be a popular venue. <BR/><BR/>I just noticed your update. You should definitely sell your own drawings.

But in an entire year I've only made six dollars. It's pathetic. I'm not very savvy about using it better, and don't like the look when my blog gets cluttered with sidebar ads (I had a few up and took them down after months of not even any clicks.) Any suggestions...?

Because the images are from someone else's photography. I still like the idea of making bookmarks, so am digging through my old sketchbooks from school to come up with some drawings to use.
