Good Experience

So the holiday market went alright on Friday. Didn't get any official orders, but I did talk with some people about potential orders. Gave out quite a few cards at least.
I ended up getting moved to a corner spot which was a little smaller. I wasn't expecting that at all. I had come prepared this time with another table and an idea of the set up. It had to be completely changed of course. The spot I was in also was kind of bad. But that's ok, it wasn't a complete loss. It was a good experience.
This week, I've got a bunch of drawings to get done!

New Finished Portrait

And this time it's a person! I pretty much like how it turned out but of course I see things after that I wish I did differently. Heh heh. I'll post pictures of this later.

On another note - I am participating in HOLIDAYS at the HAIGHT! An Elgin Holiday market. It runs the next 2, possibly 3, weekends in December. It's at 166 Symphony Way, Elgin, IL 60120.

I will be there on Friday, December 7th from 4-8pm and Friday, December 14th from 4-8pm. This is my first actual craft fair type event. I'm excited and nervous!

Come see me there!

The Yorkie Rescue Yard Sale

So, the yard sale went alright. It was a weird venue for my stuff, considering it was a yard sale...but I did hand out a few cards and got a bit of interest from people there. That was all I was really expecting, so yay me! :P

I've got about 4 portraits to do right now and hopefully they will be done soon!

I'm getting my Etsy shop ready for me to start adding my pet portraits up there for sale. And now I've got a bunch of cards and framed work; maybe I'll start getting into some craft shows or something!

Exciting Pet Portrait Opportunity!

Since I started doing the dog colored pencil drawings, I've gotten a few done and displayed at work. There has been a lot of interest from people!
I've already got 5, possibly 7, drawings to do that I will be paid for! And thats just at work, not even the ones i have lined up myself or with help from friends. This is so freaking exciting. I didn't expect to have this much reaction right away!
We finally set the pricing & got a flyer up. I'm going to be selling the 8x12s for $69 and the 11x14s for $99. I'm hoping this isn't too expensive. I don't think it is. From the research I've done and talking to people, it seems like a fair price to me. And also, my bosses are getting commission off of them, for the use of their credit card machine and the "display space" kind of idea, so I have to take that into consideration too.
I love the fact that I have the opportunity to sell my art somewhere & have gotten a response from it already.
I finished the JD picture. It turned out great! I'm very happy with it.
Woo!
