Hi All! Spending some time, over the next few weeks, getting ready for some Craft Fairs. Pres-Pandemic, I spent about 20 weekends, at craft fairs, selling my images on Prints (5x7, 8x10, 11x17, 10x20 Pano's, 18x24, 24x36 mainly), images on Coasters (image above), Glass Cutting Boards, as Ornaments, as Note Cards (image above), on lunch bags, on Pillows, etc.
All craft fairs were cancelled for me, during pandemic, so, it has been some time, fall, 2019, since I have done some. I some many of my images on some home decor items, in a few stores, too. I sure do miss, tho, getting out and seeing people's reactions in person. Talking with them, telling them the stories of the images, and how I came to capture them. It also gives me a chance to see which images are best sellers, and which are not quite as popular.
I am not around next week to finish all the printing of coasters but, once I do, I will update you all on that whole process!
To the animals and birds around me
to put more plants in than I take out
And be a good steward for the world around me!
Story first published by me, on On Uptrennd
Yesterday I was cleaning some of the paintings we had bought from art fairs and wondering how these artists were fairing. It must be really tough for such artists who have only this source of income.
The pandemic has hit small businesses severely.
Hope you make some good sales from these.
I know some who were ok, and some who were devastated. I am glad they are back... and that people ahve a chance to make a living again
In my side of the globe the dark clouds of covid still engulf us. We are still under lock down. Can you imagine we've been under its treachery for 14 months and some more now.
I fear for those struggling artists.
