Morning Max, your frames look amazing, the guilded ones especially, are you going to sell these framed or just as a display?
With the miniatures / dolls house market for art, I find people will sometimes pay if its something they really want, that said, I havenāt sold as many as I thought I would, when I started painting them last year, I had a flurry of sales but now they are more here and there ā¦ and mostly from the other side and some from my own website but not many from folksy.
Out of interest with the Dolls House ones, where do you all sell best ā¦
This is one of mine from folksy ā¦2 1/4 x 3 inches approx
Morning all. Iām always blown away by the miniatures. What patience you must have - and what good eyesight! My herb garden is exploding at the moment so I thought Iād show my Thyme painting. Iāve just worked out how to do clickable images - I am finding it so much easier to post images on this forum.
Thank you Hazel. Iāve just been rearranging things in the shop and adding categories - what fun!. Iām a bit frustrated as all my painting recently has been gifts for family or requests from friends. So Iāve not been able to add much to the shop. That is going to change!
Morning allā¦great workā¦pouring with rain here and I have to go outā¦sighā¦
Good day for watercolour painting en plein airā¦no need to take water with youā¦lol
Just listed this one
.
Hazel facebook is my biggest draw so wherever I point facebook to is where I get the most sales. At the moment that is here, as I decided to stop trying to chase sales by opening more shops and just have everything in the one place. And this is by far my fave place to hang out
The largest of my paintings tend to go locally, Iāve not had many online sales with those.
I just found out this morning that the tea shop where I have a permanent exhibition is going to close on Sunday. Itās so sad as it was a life long dream of the owner to run a teashop, but sheās losing so much money that she canāt carry on. Iām going to pick up my paintings on Monday - Iām not too upset about bringing my paintings back though as Iād like to try them elsewhere.
I bought some long matches this morning and a set of new blades for the stanley knife to see if I can make an easel for my miniatures. It wonāt be foldable as Iām just going to stick it all together with glue but might work for display purposes until Max gets them in her shopā¦hint hintā¦
Waving Emma, nice to see you here
Iāve listed these two now, the daughter was thrilled to see them (theyāre modelled vaguely on her) but didnāt object to me selling them
Waving Emma, Hazel and Stephieā¦and Max and Gaynor
I havenāt gone out yet, apart from to feed the birds, deliver a birthday card to my neighbour and look to see where two stray dogs had goneā¦they were in my back garden at 7 amā¦looked like strays in desperate need of a mealā¦by the time I had my shoes on and some food for them, they had gone back into the fieldā¦such a shameā¦I hope they will be okā¦no collars and a bit emaciated and one looked like it had not long had puppiesā¦sadā¦
Taking hubby for one of his appointments shortly and then off to the Rangeā¦I will TRY not to be tempted (well not too muchā¦lol)
Thatās great your miniatures sell on facebook Stephie I have sold via Facebook but not any dolls house miniatures ā¦ I agree folksy is a great place to hang out and sell Art too my feeling is I like to keep all my options open, so having shops on Etsy and my own website allows for a wider audience as it does when people use EBay I guess. Iām not doing the bay at the moment but may do later in the year
Sorry to hear the tea shop is closing such a shame when local shops canāt compete with the big names.
Hereās m Hereās my latest tiny paintings they are called ā inchies ā
My best place to sell is also f.b. some on the bay too. Just seen that these two have been sold!!! Steph! Your easels look fab,clever girlā¦lol x Jeanie x
Congratulations on the sales, Jeanie! The easels and frames are great, Max and Stephie! Hi everyone!
Iāve just listed an acrylic on canvas - my first painting on canvas!!
