ACEO Auctions and a WIP

I posted in fb but I know many friends are not there so I am adding the links here as well. These are lots of 4 and 5 cards!

HERE, and HERE and HERE               Wish me luck!

I am opening a zazzle shop. I have it almost ready, and the coolest part is that I can upload images of paintings I am not really ready to part of. I find myself attached to some paintings more than others, does it happen to you? I love sharing my work, and the goal is to be able to sell it but sometimes I get too invested in a painting that I don't want to and won't list it :o)
I always recommend when people ask me about prices, to sell the work in an amount that won't make you cry if it sells. But at the same time, you have to scarify a bit, in order to get attention and gather more buyers. It's always a moving scale, isn't it? And sometimes it's also a matter of time. You still love the painting, but you are ready to sell it. It happens more often with dolls for me. It's terrible! lol

Well, time to say good bye for now and I leave you with this WIP:

 

The bottom part has collage with the word "important" but the scanner doesn't show it. 

This is what I did for the week....Thanks for visiting friends from the PPF!

  1. Your ACEOs packs (for want of a better word) on Ebay are a fantastic value--I hope they are snatch up & bid up!

    I, and even more so my husband, are always getting attached to things I've made. He is always saying to me..."You're not selling that, are you?"

    Love the new art!

  10. Yes, I find it very hard to part with certain paintings or to know when to let them go. Prints are the best option for me. Lovely WIP!

    Thanks for your tips on My Blog. I finally broke down and got out the manual. I'm gonna figure this thing out yet!

  22. A really wonderful work in progress and yes I use the "how much do I want to part with it pricing scale" too...LOL!

    These days most of my work is commissioned so it's much easier to part with knowing it's not mine to begin with! ~Happy Paint Party Friday! #9 Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
