Reminder: Artascope Summer Sale

 

Just a quick reminder that I’ll be at the Artascope Summer Sale this Saturday, Aug 1 from 10 to 4. Please stop by and say HI. The studio is located at 352 Cottage Rd in South Portland,  Maine. It’s very weather dependent, so if it’s raining, it will be held on Sunday, Aug 2, but let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Hope to see you there!

Tips for Preparing for a Show

My attention was drawn to a post by Felicia over at Fluffy Flowers. First off, I found myself wondering why I hadn’t stumbled across her blog before now? She has some great work, and some awesome posts. The post I’m writing about today is actually a series of posts on how to prepare and set up for selling your handmade items at a weekly farmers market. Now, this is a very specific type of sales venue, but so much of the information Felicia talks about is very applicable to any type of art/craft show/fair/etc. I thought it was important to spread the word. If you are preparing for your first venture into this type of selling, or if you are a veteran shower, I highly recommend taking a look at the articles, and you’re bound to find something helpful. I’ve linked to the five individual posts below.

New Items Added to Shop!

It’s certainly been long enough since I’ve added anything new to the shop. All these items can be seen in both my shop on this site, as well as at http://danclark.etsy.com. If you like Swarovski crystals, or anything that sparkles, you’ll want to take a look. Here are just a couple to peak your interest.
