What's New for You — May 7th, 2024
Today there is an exciting new development to share: the launching of my partner's YouTube channel, Hanging Out with Sam Francis.
Sam and I have been living nomadically and traveling across the US since 2021. During that time, Sam has had the opportunity to reunite with many childhood friends that he grew up in Scientology with. Sam's channel will be exploring his experiences in Scientology in interviews with friends as well as sharing his travel adventures and original music. I will be appearing on the channel often as I help Sam with the more technical side of YouTube.
With this video comes the promise of content through two other YouTube channels: Wild Free Kelly Green and The San Tan Bandits (a shared channel with Sam). The first will contain much of what you see here on the site, and the second is our band/travel blog. Another update coming soon!
Retrospective Update — March 20th, 2024
I've recently joined Threads, a spin-off app(?) from Instagram. I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by my experience on it thus far. I wrote an article on my initial experience with Threads for those who are interested in learning more. Essentially, I find the space to be fairly positive compared to other social media apps and there is a kind community there made up of people who are very willing to lift each other up and be supportive. All great things!
To connect with me on Threads, you can visit the app through my Threads link on Instagram, or just search for me (@wildfreekellygreen) on either platform.
Retrospective Update — February 16th, 2024
I've been permanently banned from Etsy for no reason in particular, and there's nothing I can do to restore my shop. I'd heard of many other small business owners who had the same problem and hoped that I'd somehow manage to avoid that fate. Nope.
My digital products are still available for sale on my Gumroad page for now. If and when I discover more ethical Etsy alternatives, I'll be sure to link them on my site.
Retrospective Update — December 22nd, 2023
I recently released another puzzle set in my Etsy shop, this one a 12-piece winter maze collection for $1.79. There are now individual mazes available for sale for 25 cents each, in case anyone is interested in sampling a puzzle before committing to a full set.
I'm beginning a new chapter in this business (and this life) and am excited to share it with you once it's finished. Stay tuned for what that entails, and in the meantime I hope you all have a lovely holiday season and wonderful new year!
Retrospective Update — November 13th, 2023
The first series of bottle cap paintings are now available for sale! This change brings with it the new Gallery, where all of my bottle cap paintings are able to be seen with the option of buying those that are currently available. I am currently selling them locally through Facebook Marketplace, but I sense shipping via Etsy will be available sometime in the not-so-distant future.
Two of my bottle caps were sold before I even had the chance to post them online. I'm extremely grateful for the support I've received in starting this business. Thank you!
Retrospective Update — September 28th, 2023
A fresh article titled, "Thriving on Trusted Housesitters: A Comprehensive Guide to Sitting Success," was released on my Medium blog yesterday. In it, I attempt to share basically all of the tips and tricks my partner and I acquired over our first year of housesitting on the platform. For those who are interested in becoming members, there is also a referral link here and within the article for a 25% discount off of a new membership.
Bottle Cap Paintings!
I recently began working on my first series of physical products: a dainty collection of acrylic bottle cap paintings. Each painting contains a magnetic backing and is sealed with mod podge to prevent chipping. I will likely attempt to sell these at my local market first, and if/when I get over my ridiculous resistance to sending packages through the mail, I may make these available through my Etsy shop.
Much of my attention has been focused on developing my physical presence at the markets, but I look forward to expanding my site and Etsy shop to include more digital products, articles, and other creative projects.
Featured Product
Introducing my first digital product, "A Puzzle Primer for the Beginning Witch" — A puzzle book designed for novice witches new to the craft. This booklet includes 32 unique puzzles that can be enjoyed on either a tablet or as a printable. Read more within my Etsy Shop!
