I haven’t as am not Plus but I hope it’s a huge success for everyone involved and I look forward to seeing all the wonderful submissions.

I have a question! Would you like the entry titles to be ‘exhibitiony’ (e.g. “No turning back”) or would you like them to be descriptive, like our Folksy listing titles (e.g. “Figurative oil painting”)?

I can’t remember what the titles were like last year!

I don’t remember them being any different - but I’ve had a few nights sleep since then :zzz::joy:

@Eiderglass You can have a look through last year’s exhibition here - Buy and sell handmade gifts and craft supplies from Folksy - Modern British Craft

They don’t need to be descriptive titles because they’re not being written for SEO purposes, arty names are fine if you have them, or just a few word title if you prefer to the point names, but you don’t need the big keyword filled sentence sort of title that you might use on a listing.

I’m hoping to photograph 2 tomorrow and still have one to finish sewing, the photography is the worst part, if it’s sunny mohair can look almost plasticky (if that’s a word). The ònly room I can photograph in is the conservatory but it can be too bright, I tried taking some later in the day last week once the sun had gone but they didn’t turn out as I’d hoped even with a lot of editing.

Thank you, What a wonderful display of items, the photographs are amazing as well. Pleased someone asked about the titles as I was still unclear on it, I thought we just put our shop name and numbers 1, 2 or 3, love the titles on these pieces.

The photos are to be titled shopname1, 2,3 etc but they also need titles. It will become clear when you look at the form.

Thanks Carol, do you put for example; Bearlescent 1, Mohair Artist bear or Mohair Artist bear by Bearlescent 1 ? Or does it matter as long as it’s in there somewhere

You can call the title whatever you want but the photo needs to be shopname1, shopname2, etc

I have applied again this year as last year I had a blanket which made it into the fringe exhibition which sold so I was really pleased with the outcome even though I didn’t make it into the main exhibition.
