On Friday I was contacted by the BBC programme DIY SOS about using a photographic print in their show.
They are sourcing UK items, but found my print on Etsy.
While delighted and flattered that they will be using my print, I do think it’s a shame that it was found on an international site rather than Folksy, which advertises as ‘‘Modern British Craft.’’
I understand that Etsy is a larger site, but Folksy has been around for more than a few years now, yet it is still relatively unknown!

Congratulations on being in their show, that’s great news.
It is a pity that the other place being more well known means it’s used by others as a source rather than here. :sad:
But hopefully you mentioned Folksy to them, so that next time they will look here first 
Congrats on the exposure!
Wow what an opportunity for you. It is sad though that it was through Etsy rather than a British site.
Congrats
Well done, which print is it? So we can look out for it on the show
Congratulations! I hope they give you a nice little plug as well. 
Thankyou!
It’s this one…

A really nice image.
I find that semi-gloss and particularly ‘pearl’ and ‘lustre’ printing papers suit nature shots a lot better than gloss, although the gloss ones always look a bit sharper, due to the way the reflections work. I am printing more and more on non-gloss papers.
“Permajet” and “Fotospeed” papers are superb, and at least the equal of Epson, and I print all three on a pro’ Epson A2 printer. They also have some special finishes including art papers and even metallic !
Well done to you.
I was watching a UK craft channel the day and it annoyed me immensly when they mentioned the US site and not Folksy!
