Thanks girls! :smiley:

Brenda, my workmates are like my family and I’d be heartbroken to leave after 32 years! Being at home all day would be catastrophic for my mental health, not to mention my finances. I’m tired but relieved now.

oh that’s great news Margaret, sending huge hugs, and you know we were all rooting for you. Putting my HR hat on for a minute and with personal experience when all my colleagues left under voluntary redundancy last year I felt somewhat anxious about workloads and being ā€˜left behind’ everything was fine in the end but if you do feel that over the next few days, I just wanted to say it’s perfectly normal and I’m always happy to chat if you need or want to :smile:

lovely work everyone :heart_eyes:

listed this one today, I framed it for my last exhibition and thought I would try it in the shop framed, if it doesn’t sell I’ll unframe it and relist just as an ACEO, see how it goes

ooh exciting stuff just seen I got into the top sellers list this morning at no 33 :slight_smile: :balloon:

wow Max, I was going to refrain from person art comments but that is just WOW!
Well done on the top seller’s list too.
Today I have something completely different.
A fairy fantasy painting with glitter…and it is 9" x 6" which is an unusual size too.

good morning, thank you for the Heron love ;). Busy day off to Worle today for big meeting but then I have a long weekend and a canvas that’s 5 x 2 ft to paint for my craft room, never done anything so big, just hope my mental picture of what I want to do works :blush:

lovely work everyone :heart_eyes:

just listed this one

Thanks for the heads-up Margaret @Louisa15 and your thoughts Brenda @teabreaks regarding the other shop called Studio Bee.

Looks like I have a problem. I contacted Folksy and explained that I’ve been known as StudioBee on the internet since 2006. When I joined in January this year, the name StudioBee wasn’t available, so I did the best I could and added ā€˜art’ to the end of my user name. So I became StudioBeeArt. They say that the StudioBee shop has been in existence since 2011 which is why I could not have the name. I asked them to explain why the StudioBee shop says they are new and does not have any sales. I’m waiting for an answer.

Fab work everyone!

Sorry to hear of your difficulties Bee, it does seem strange that the other shop is saying they are new. It’s just a shame you’re both dealing with art so it could lead to confusion for customers. Hope you can get it sorted, you’re established on here now with plenty of sales.

I would add ā€œThe Originalā€ in front of your shop name Bee…lol
Hope everyone is having a good day
Here is my listing for today.
a 7x5 fantasy painting done with my favourite cling film.

Great news you are in the top sellers list Max. Well done :slight_smile:

Glad to hear you are safe at work @Louisa15 Margaret :slight_smile:

I’ve been very busy. Did three commissions last week then we had a few days away in Suffolk to return to more commissions and lots of sales so had a lovely couple of days paintings and sending off orders. Sadly none of the sales come from folksy :frowning:

Hope you all gave a nice weekend
