I Make Things

So, apologies to Leah for claiming that I've never really sold anything, artwise. This is not completely true: the same week that I wrote this, I sold two things at her gallery.

It is also not true that I never make anything new. I dropped off a knitted/felted purse for her just yesterday.

Now I have an entire shelf area devoted to Eliza, Fiber Artist.

I also recently attending a coptic binding workshop at Portland's Independent Publishing Resource Center. I left with a nice little handmade book. Please take no notice of the bloody smudge partway through, even experienced seamstresses sometimes poke their fingers...

    Lovely! All of it. I touched every piece at First Friday Artwalk, especially like the purse, but no tag! Oh, and the framed art, the fabric container, the fortune cookies, and the book is sweet...but really, unless you're in a store featuring vampire art you've got to stop talking about the bloody fingerprint.

    Just rip out the bloody page. No one will be the wiser.

    As for the rest, gorgeous!

    Or, get artsy-fartsy and decorate around it, maybe a really cool artist signature, and tell Leah you hide secret stuff in all your work, make a treasure hunt for people. I'll tell them (on Sat afternoons, of course), "Oh, that artist is really cool, she always leaves a secret FORTUNE in each piece of her work, it grants you special favors in the universe, you should buy
    it!"

    Then as I'm wrapping it up, I'll casually mention, "You know, you could double your good-luck by a second purchase..."

    Can you tell I'm in sales??
