A little bit o’ somethin’ new
Because I’m hilarious, I’m going to say this again.
I’ve been doing art fairs for 8 years. I’ve been in business for 8 years. And in that 8 years, I think I’ve learned a lot. I’m hesitant to say I’m a pro at anything because we all make mistakes and I’ve made some doozies. But…what I’m coming to find is that I really like helping people not make those same mistakes. If I can pass on my knowledge of what I’ve learned in these 8 years, I think that’s pretty cool.
So.
On the horizon is a project where I will be passing on to all you crafters, stampers, artists, scrapbookers and everyone who has every thought of starting a business in art, what I’ve learned. Where I get my displays from, how I find out what the good shows are, how not to strangle the customer that insists that her grandma could make something just like what you make. Ya know, the important stuff.
I’m currently just in the designing phases but I’ve given myself 90 days to get this thing underway. I’m gonna go 90 days from May 1st since that’s a nice round timeline. And I can remember that. Anyhoo, mix that in with the custom work, the art fairs and the retailers that I have to keep up with and well…you’ve got one busy artist. But nose + grindstone (hopefully) = negative 1 part-time job.
So yeah. Gotta get to work.
If you’re interested in finding out more about my new project as it comes along, drop me a comment! I’ll keep you posted!
