Improving Strategies for Selling My Art

Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 at 07:24AM by Registered CommenterBeth Robinson in | CommentsPost a Comment

I've added a couple options in the last few weeks and have found three local shows to put my work into between now and May.  The first one isn't juried, but the next two are.  I'll also be able to display it at the biennial exhibit of my Embroiderer's Guild chapter.  That one is primarily completed work from patterns beautifully stitched by the chapter members, but it will still be a great place to increase local exposure.

Giclee Prints - I'm selling reproductions of my artwork now!  I made this announcement before, in regards to Artwanted, but decided to switch printers to Finerworks since their set-up was more classy and it better fit the way I wanted my artwork to look.  I ordered a full-size 12"x12" print of Kite-Flying in Zandvoort to check out the quality and was very impressed.  I don't need to keep it, so if you want it for $20 plus shipping, just contact me.  The usual price is $30 plus shipping.  I also uploaded Dragon Scales and Snowfall and will be adding pieces as I complete them.

Cafepress - I opened up a Cafepress store as Pumpkin12pm, but instead of offering my full images on the articles I followed Sharon's example and am using detail shots of the stitching in my artwork.   For example, I'll likely use one of the pictures from yesterday's post once I am sure that Kalambah Jasper is complete.  I concentrated on the paper goods, but couldn't resist adding in the tile box, since I have a fascination with boxes.  I really need to order one of those for myself.  I still need to complete the page on my site that will summarize the information, but the store is open.

Please remember to subscribe to my Studio News blog if you are at all interested in purchasing my art, in any form, as that is where the regular customer updates will be.  I'll be keeping the majority of that information off of this blog.
