Hello
Welcome to the FLOAT-YOUR-PIGMENT Newsletter #83, Gifts
Black Friday has come and gone, did you get all your gift shopping done? If you are like me that answer is no, I wish I could be that organized to know what I am
getting people by Black Friday but I seriously think that will never happen. Then again most of the things that are sold at cheap prices on Black Friday are things I normally wouldn't buy anyways. I really like to buy from local merchants and small businesses and most importantly artisans. Yes, I also shop at the big box discount stores but when I need to get that special gift I look to get that personal artisan small business touch.
As an artist, you also need to realize that at this
time of year people are looking to you for their gift ideas.
Do you have anything to sell them that they could use to give as gifts, and I am not just talking about a painting? This week's newsletter goes into the gifts that you can produce using your artwork.
Sorry, I should have put out this newsletter weeks ago, but like my Christmas shopping, I do everything last minute.
This Thursday I will be demonstrating at the Lakes Region Watercolor Guild
meeting along with running the meeting. I am the Vice President of the club and the President will be out this week.
The first half of the meeting will be spent making and getting cards ready for the Camp Quality USA charity.
Every year all the artist's in the club make small original greeting cards that are then sold and all the money goes to the Camp Quality Charity. Read about the charity
