It encourages me to actually <I>let</I> people buy some of my paintings. Otherwise I'd keep them all myself.<BR/><BR/>I used to be really into silk paintings and churned out waaay too many scarves. Fortunately I lost interest after a while, and have gradually given away or sold all but my favourite scarves as gifts.<BR/><BR/>Only trouble is, I spent hundreds of dollars on a big roll of silk. I've been tossing up whether to sell it, or dye it up, cut it into ribbons and knit it.chocolatetrudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110359051876178390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34778011.post-1159234478936633102006-09-26T09:34:00.000+08:002006-09-26T09:34:00.000+08:00But the problem then lies in how prolific you are....But the problem then lies in how prolific you are. My mother discovered beading. She loved it, got obsessed and was turning out 5 or 8 necklaces or earrings in an evening. She ended up with hundreds of beautiful creations ... and we looked at her and said, you have to sell them.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if it relates to how long you spend on a piece?Alisa Krasnosteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07998430128376197754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34778011.post-1159224304733639122006-09-26T06:45:00.000+08:002006-09-26T06:45:00.000+08:00Sounds to me like you're a process knitter. You lo...Sounds to me like you're a process knitter. You love the process, and aren't necessarily itching to use the finished item.<BR/><BR/>BWT, artists aren't always painting to sell. Having been an illustrator, I love the fact that I can paint what I like, in whatever medium I like, and take as long as I like. If anyone buys one it's a bonus, and I'd much rather I sold it to someone I know who will give the painting a good home than some stranger who might throw it out when he or she changes the decor.chocolatetrudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110359051876178390noreply@blogger.com
