Now, back to business…
This is the third piece my client has purchased from me and I’m doing one more for her next week. It will also be in the Otomi print but multi colored…I am so excited!
This is the second piece I’ve painted using this fab paper from Spoonflower. Check out the before photo below.
I used the Aurora Staining Gel in Boy Blue from Heirloom Traditions Paint to create this drip technique. This product is exactly what I needed, made my job so easy. They have more colors to choose from including metallics.
Am I the only person crazy enough to hang flowers on the wall using painters tape? Don’t answer that, actually. My son had a friend over while I created this staging wall. He walked by, stopped and stared. He asked, “Is that tape supposed to be on the wall?” I laughed, and said, “Absolutely, you just wait. It’s going to look amazing!” I was hoping, at least.
Etsy offers all kinds of business advice that I love to read and absorb. One of the latest posts was about creating conversation about your shop, get people talking. They said one way to do this is to share comments and questions posted on social media to you or about your shop. I love reading the comments my amazing followers post and always feel so energized by their kind words. Let me share a few of my favorites and you’ll see what I mean. I wouldn’t be where I am right now without my clients and followers who graciously share my work with friends and family.
