12/09 - $$$ Saturday!

I run into the same thing all the time with art. Sure, you can buy a image printed on canvas sold as a "painting" from overseas for way cheaper than a hand painted one. When pricing my work, I've always had a range of price points, but realized that my prefered type of customer is one who appreciates the time/effort I go to in making something, not one who only focuses on the price. A customer who is willing to pay the price you ask for your goods is one who appreciates your talent and work, and one who will truly appreciate the item. The best thing you can do for a friend who is a maker is support them by buying their stuff, and if you can't afford it, the next best thing is telling others about their work. Tell your son to hang in there, that there are many people who will gladly buy his items, and that to not waste much time and worry on the ones who prefer cheap inferior stuff.

Thank you!

One of the biggest things he learned from the craft faire is how to not show discouragement when someone who stopped by said how much they loved his stuff, how good it is and nice quality, they can't believe he made it, then put it down and went on without buying it.

I realize now we were priced a little too high. We've lowered prices. He did sell about 1/3 of his stock, so that isn't bad for his first time selling. We learned a LOT and hope he will do better at this event next year.

lots of people get denied. he just has to wait and there's nothing he or anyone can do.
he might get accepted in a month, or 5 months.
or he might not.

You might not want to do the "A Survey on Health and Personal Attitudes(~ 10 minutes)" by Lee ($.80) unless you can hold two contradictory ."attitudes" in your brain at the same time. [sheesh]

 

[Daniel]

Someone tried to walk me through it, but I still don't get it ersevere:

When you go to reply, look at that row of things at the top of the box. There's one that looks like mountains, it's next to the smiley. Click on that, it prompts you to insert, then you need to paste your image or gif address into that insert box. This has to be in the running for worst explanation ever, but maybe it helps lol
