these are exquisite works Diane……you are very talented :)
Thank you, very kind! I love your work too, in fact I am going to enter your competition to win one of your lovely portraits. It’s a great prize!
Diane, I’m sure your books will sell well. What will you do to make them get known? I have found so far that personal connections work best, I sold most to people I know and there friends (also due to my boyfriend telling everyone about my stuff :). It also seems that DaWanda gets more and more known. In three weeks, I’m having my first craft fair – I’m very curious about how it will turn out! So keep on going!
that’s great news Diane…I have just subscribed to your RSS feed :)
Tulibri, I’m building a web site to sell them but I agree that my initial sales will be to the family and friends who want to buy them. There will come a time when that market dries up though so I will have to cultivate others! The area where I live has a thriving artistic community and has lots of galleries and craft shops. Only problem there is, they take commission and that affects the pricing. So much to think about!
Kim, thanks for that. Must check for the next question!
Hi Diane, it’s great to see so many handmade books. What do you do with it? Sell it? You really love stationary. Cheers from Fruity
Fruity, thank you! I don’t sell them at the moment but I hope to in the future.
I love stationery as much as you love fruit! Very informative blog!
I love this one…the best! Great work.
Thank you very much!
So sorry but your comment fell foul of the spam filter and I only just rescued it. I checked out your blog which is great fun to read though it’s a very new one. I look forward to finding what was in the book….!
These are so beautiful it almost tempts me to give up blogging and take up my crafts again – not quite though :-)
That embroidered paper is amazing.
Thank you!
The embroidered paper is gorgeous, I am desperately trying to find a UK supplier (with no success) as I mail ordered it from the US which seems a ridiculously expensive and roundabout way to get it. I can’t even find the Indian manufacturer which is irritating, I always assume that I will always be able to track things down on the internet but this search has me beaten!
Your blog is so full of useful information it must be very time consuming to run. I find keeping this little one going takes up an huge amount of time. Not that I mind though, I’ll just have to get better at time management! What crafts did you do?
