OK All this weekend it's my gallery/studio show.

[Gaer]

First time doing this. What if no one shows up?
Not scared but maybe a little nervous.
Oh, That's my porch but connected to the gallery.

It's a lot more fun creating things than selling them.

WoW!! Tht's just astonishing, how do you find time for anything else..?

I had to laugh when you said...It's a lot more fun creating things than selling them.... I am 100 % the opposite way... not a creative bone in my body ( except a little photography).. but I'm a born sales woman

Very good luck... hope you get a Rush of buyers

 

[Bella]

Everything looks terrific, Gaer! I wish you the best of luck selling your fantastic work!

 

[CallMeKate]

Oh my goodness, @Gaer !!! I honestly don't see *anything* that I wouldn't buy. You have a true gift... and your use of colors... stunning!

 

[Gaer]

Thank you all so much! You are all making me feel so much better about this.

If no one shows, find another marketing avenue
Once folks know, they WILL sell

It's a lot more fun creating things than selling them

I know that one

Great talent @Gaer

"It's a lot more fun creating things than selling them."

True as that is, it does feel pretty dang awesome when someone literally values something you created.

Enjoy the experience!

 

[Naturally]

SOooo divinely talented ... and organized !!! Impressive ma'am

Lovely work Gaer. You’re so talented and I absolutely adore your veranda and your art room. Nice spaces.

Have you ever considered selling your stuff on Etsy or Shopify? It’s really inexpensive to advertise and they take about 3% off whenever you sell something. I’ve sold plenty of stuff there and so has my husband. It might work well for you.

 

[davey]

great display ; a breath of fresh air - to shake the cobwebs away - is pricing them the hardest thing to do or do you have another system?

Hard to imagine, if locals saw these pictures I am sure you'd have a great turnout.

Makes me wish I lived within driving distance.

My daughter sells her jewelry on Etsy (CrystalWarriorWings) but paintings and bronze sculptures don't sell well on Etsy.
Thanks for the idea though. You are so sweet!
I know this doesn't make any sense but the important thing is creating, not making money.
At this point of my life I only want to do what makes me happy!

As well you should.

You create very well, to say I am envious would be an understatement!

Oh it does make perfect sense. I’ve given away almost all my water colour paintings.
I only made things to sell because I was helping my husband out but I stopped years ago. Now I strictly paint, play music and carve just for me and most things I make, I give away as gifts. It makes me feel good to do so.

 

[ohioboy]

Thank you all so much! You are all making me feel so much better about this.

You are a talented lady!

 

[Jamala]

Exciting! Good luck Gaer

 

[DebraMae]

I am awed. Hope you sell everything that you want to.

 

[Lewkat]

Gaer, your talents are beyond remarkable. I hope you make a fortune with these works. xxoo

I so get that
Makes absolute sense

The other side of creating and becoming sought after
is the demand
takes the pleasure right out of the effort

Now I strictly paint, play music and carve just for me and most things I make, I give away as gifts. It makes me feel good to do so.

A good gift given is beyond monetary rewards
