Description
Hi,
My name is Abalone.
I am a shell faerie.
I love to collect and arrange shells. I am pretty quiet and tend to live on my own.
You cannot see me because I blend into my surroundings, dipping between sunbeams.
I am one of a kind.

Our marketplace is designed to keep as much of the funds in the pockets of the creators, aligning with our core values of fairness, sustainability, and respect for artistic labor.
Why Direct Payments Matter
By encouraging customers to pay artists directly via e-transfer or cash, we are embracing a decentralized business model that prioritizes the financial well-being of the creators. This approach minimizes unnecessary fees and intermediaries, ensuring that more of your money goes directly to the hands that crafted your unique piece.
Rooted in Indigenous Business Practices
The principle of Directionless Art is deeply rooted in indigenous business practices that emphasize community support, self-sufficiency, and equitable trade. In many indigenous cultures, business is not just a means of commerce but a way to strengthen community ties and ensure that everyone benefits from shared prosperity.
Decentralization for Empowerment
Our commitment to decentralization is about more than just financial transactions; it's about empowering artists and buyers to connect on a more personal and meaningful level. By facilitating direct payments, we create a closer connection between creators and their supporters, fostering a sense of mutual respect and appreciation.
