I wanted to thank you for sharing with us your experience, your organization, how you print things, and all of that. It's really helpful to me and it reassures me as well. Thank you so much for being transparent.
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for your lovely comment ☺️🤍
That springer spaniel at the top of your home page is just like my Toby, think he's been doing some secret modelling!!
Ahh such beautiful dogs! One of my favourites to draw 😍
Great advice, im doing my first craft stall soon so it was most helpful. The stall set up looked so classy and uncluttered. , thank you for sharing. I love your amazing art work too. The hare is my favourite. 🐰 good luck with your future markets.
You have such a gentle voice. I’m American and love seeing real life in the UK!
Nice art and you stand was well done.
Aw thank you so much! I'm glad you like it ☺️
Beautiful work! I saw someone talk about taking a painting you can work on there so they see you being creative.
Shannon thank you for sharing your experience for this craft fair. You certainly have given many great ideas on what items to consider and how to set up to make it inviting. I agree, there is a sense of accomplishment that certainly can build confidence once to go through a show. Your art is awesome my dear, and the fact that you want to share it with us who are still learning so much about coloured pencils is fantastic. Thank you ❤️❤️
I’m glad I gave some good ideas, thank you so much! 🥰 it was such a nice feeling especially as I spend so much time working at home and not really meeting any customers in person! That’s so kind thank you ❤️❤️❤️
when you said mini prints I just thought, mini mini ones to hang like christmas ornaments. nature is in and your drawings are breathtaking.
I love the idea Nini! I’d love to do little ceramic ornaments I just need to figure out where I’d get them made 😆 thank you so much that’s very kind ❤️
Love your work! ❤️ Thank you for sharing such valuable information!
Thank you so much I'm glad it helped! ☺️
Your video was great - I found it so useful as I'm preparing for my first fair. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. Your stand looked fantastic, clean, uncluttered. So easy on the eye which I think helps people buy. Plus clear prices of course!! :)
I'm glad you liked the video and found it useful! Aw thanks so much I may tweak it next time but it was a good starting point! ☺️
Your work is gorgeous! Thank you for such a helpful video as I’m doing my first craft fair this coming Sunday. I relate to so much in your video in preparing! Also just went to Hobby Craft too!
Thank you so much! I hope that it went well for you! I love hobby craft I could spend a fortune in there 😂☺️
Great ideas. Thank you for sharing. Nervously getting ready for my first Artisan craft fair in Nov.
Thank you, I hope it was helpful! Good luck I hope it goes really well for you 😄
Wow beautiful work, and thank you for sharing. I have my first craft fair in a few weeks and this was so helpful 💕🐾
Thank you so much I'm glad it was helpful! That's super exciting, good luck I hope all goes well ☺️
Stunning art work, enjoyed the video too, from Jane in NZ
I'm stunned at the realism and beauty of your art. New sub here!! Hope you do more of these, I enjoyed following along.
Thank you Tina! That’s so kind, I’ll definitely be doing more craft fairs this year I really enjoyed it. Thank you for subbing ❤️
You’re so talented!! Thanks
That’s so kind thank you!
Your artwork is beautiful. Wow.
Thank you so much! ☺️
Beautiful work!
Thank you very much ☺️
This was so good and helpful to watch- I’m getting ready to do my first fair. The card stand your dad made looks perfect! Maybe he could share how he made it on your channel ??! 😉
Oh and I love the little easel to display originals!
Thank you so much!! Ah that's so exciting I hope that everything goes well for you, think of it mostly as a learning experience and it'll take the pressure off you ☺️
Hahaha I will ask how he did it but I can't imagine he'll want to go on camera I know what he's like 🤣
8:39 I hope you asked for some discount off your next order! That's very shoddy service for a printing firm! Love your work! You're SO talented! :)
I didn’t even contact them in the end, I should have done so it prevents it from happening again 🥲
They’re usually super good with customer service though whenever I’ve had printing issues, it’s just typical this happened when I was so last minute 😆
That’s so kind thank you!
Hi there. I'm about to do a twilight market with my art. Could;d you please tell me how you actually hung your art. Thanks
Hi Suzanne, good luck with your market! I used small art easels to stand them up. I hope this helps 😄
I recently got business cards for the first time and the place I bought them from didn't trim the white from the tops, just like your pamphlets. The really sad part is I got them from the print shop I used to work at and I would have never sent out product like that!
Oh no that's terrible you think they'd be checked before sending them out! It looks so unprofessional and unfinished I hope you were able to get them trimmed!
Hi Shannon, can you please tell me the name of the company you ordered prints of your greeting cards from. Thank you in advance!
Hey! It’s printed.com 🤍
You have amazing talent!! One suggestion, lower your prices. Would you rather sell 25 prints at $20 or sell 5 at $30? When you have built up your reputation and get better know, then you can start asking for the big bucks. People generally like wildlife and botanical prints in groups of 4 or more. You might want to think about doing a special for that scenario and if possible, display them like that. People NEED visuals and that's why many people have their homes professionally staged when they are selling.
