It's been a great week for felting, cool with lots of rain and not much on my schedule for a change! As much as I loved home schooling our daughter last year, I am thoroughly enjoying having more time for myself again, without every minute having a task attached to it (and even better, she is loving high school!). I actually had two days in a row of not having to leave the farm.... paradise!
I am really getting into a nice groove in my studio, and feel that nearly every piece I felt is teaching me something lately. The huge amount of new things I learned at Felter's Fling, taken in tiny little bites, has led me to a place of new inspiration and understanding of the felt process. I am trying to be less predictable with color, and more free with my artwork.
The other side is that I do need to sell. I've gotten lots of orders and encouragement lately- thanks to all who are supporting what I do! I've been trying to determine how best to market my goods over the coming holidays while keeping as much profit in my pockets as possible. Someone told me about a Jr. League holiday sales event- $675 for a table for the weekend? I think not! The galleries from which I sell are asking for more of my products, but it's hard to price things at a sellable level and still garner enough for my time. So, I've decided to dedicate myself again to my Etsy store and and I'm going to really try to promote it like I should. (The Wazala store that I tried wasn't what I was looking for). I'll be adding more items over the coming days, so please check back frequently. I plan to add some of my felting embellishments such as handspun art yarn as well as hand-dyed alpaca fiber.
