Haha! Thanks Mitchell! For a long time I thought it was only me who had "that didn't work out" moments so I really appreciate other people sharing them and thought I should too!
Thanks Mariann! Sometimes it feels like a wasted effort to send things when you know quite a few clients will just put it in the bin. BUT I tell myself they can only hire me if they remember me, so it's better to keep saying "Hello, here I am! Here's my work!" 😊
Brilliant video! I was thinking.. were paper doilies like just cheap copies of the old fashioned lace doilies. In fact why has that only just come to me 🤣😏
Haha! They must be! While I was looking for paper doilies I was surprised to rediscover lace ones! I don't know how I'd completely forgotten about them and decided only paper ones exist! 🤦🏻♀️ 😆
Quick and fun videos are the best, other wise they can become a chore to make! I'm not so great at putting myself on camera but I like filming time lapses and processes, mistakes and all! 😆
Thanks so much Ben! I've been trying to put all that marketing advice from Good Ship into practice! Congrats to you too on a great year of art and business!
Absolutely amazing. Loved seeing the video and the progression. One comment would be is there anyway you can allow subtitles? The auto generated ones would be great. Thank you for sharing.
Anna, thank you so much for pointing this out! I can't believe I didn't think about subtitles. I'll investigate how to fix that for the next video - and this one if there's a way to edit it xx
Wow thank you for sharing your process. Never realised the amount of work that would have gone into this project. Well worth it for such a beautiful card.
Love the video. Thanks for including the “Yeah, that didn’t work out,” parts. A lot of artists (myself included) try to hide that part of the process.

I just lke what you do. Making the effort. I have been sending clients similar stuff, because i do photography, but last year, I saved. Maybe in 2025

You never know. And it fills you up. This creative work

Thanks Cheryl! I was surprised by the amount of work too! I always assume everyone else gets it right first time, but I suspect very few of us do!
It's the most beautiful card!! And has been much admired. And I always love a video... xxxxx❤️
