Sapling

I recently shared Sapling with a friend and within about 30 seconds, they were making a purchase. I love it when people find something that speaks to them and they just have to have it.

Sapling Discover truly unique products from small, artist run businesses. Explore niche interests, find one-of-a-kind creations, commission art, and more!

I'd really like to add some more features to shopsapling.com, but I'm feeling a bit stuck on what to do. I really want to add things that will help Sapling find a wider audience for all the amazing shops on the site right now. Maybe a mobile app? Something interactive? Any ideas? #art #smallbusiness

If you're still looking for prints, check out this search: shopsapling.com?tags=art-pri...

You can also add tags like "Still Life", "Pop Surrealism", "Cottagecore", or "Fantasy" to narrow down your search. Hope you'll check us out 💕

We founded Sapling so you can find real human artists without sifting through AI and dropshippers! And once you find an artist we link you straight to their site without taking a single cut of their sales, so you know you're fully supporting the artist!

what an icon ❤ ❤ ❤

Art is more important than it's ever been right now

drawing of a dog and a cat holding hands. text reads "i will hold your hand, and we will be okay."

drawing of a dog and cat hugging. text reads: "there is joy in small certainties. ones like "tomorrow you will still have me."

drawing of a dog and a cat planting a garden. text reads "and the certainty that we are able to do lots of good, together."

there are lots of feelings today, but i hope we can always find solace in one another

This is gorgeous 🤯💕

And hot take: the mentality of "I'll wait for a cheaper dupe for a product I want" is actually supporting theft!!!!!! It's such a common mentality now and it's genuinely ruining people's livelihoods! For gods sake just buy from the original creator

It was bad enough to see copied text posts or reposts without credit, but now it's soo common to see impersonation scams, product design theft/dupes, and whole videos copied down to the editing and recipes 🫠🫠🫠

It makes me so mad that we are at a stage where blatantly stealing ideas, content, designs, etc. is super common and even normalized/accepted

This is so unbelievably cute 😭😭😭

But all platforms that run on ads are going to push and push for mindless trends, rage bait, engagement etc. to get their click $$$. That's why Sapling is ad free and always will be, imo it's a business model that inherently suppresses art, creativity and innovation 😤😤😤

There are no words to describe how much I hate the contentification of the internet. Artists and creatives shouldn't have to conform to trends and do little skits just to exist and be seen.

Oh my 😤 I didn't realize I forgot to put our link in bio I'm such a BUFFOON 😭😭
Gonna try to get a bit more organized and active here

Finally giving this place another try and wow it's nice to see art and community again 🥹 seeing a lot of people that I didn't realize left Twitter as well ❤️‍🩹🥲

A hand holds enamel pins over a trans pride flag background. The pins are all small cats (mostly white cats with one black cat) holding knives in their mouths that have pride flag designs inside. The flags are transgender, genderfluid, nonbinary, and agender.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility! 🩵🩷🤍
