There are lots of them that are high end and would be perfect for what you do. Degrees are simply pieces of paper to a customer who comes along and loooves that wall hanging with the leaf and windows. Don't get discouraged. You're good. And your studio looks great.

The way I see it, you're an artist in your heart and nobody but you can determine that. If you're interested in more of the selling aspect, maybe a few business/marketing courses would give you some ideas. Just a thought! And as for not selling anything this time around, you gotta remember the economy right now. My husband and I run our own business and it's taking a hit right now too. People just aren't spending right now.

Degree's do not an artist make. Go...Stephanie,<br />Degree's do not an artist make. Going to school or just studying gives us information about how things work...color etc. You know that from Graphic Design. You have an understanding of what works & why. For what you do this may not be the right venue for you. Yes where you live and have your studio space is home. You put a lot of hard work & effort into your art...you use loads of bright beautiful bold colors and I love that. Any New Yorker or Californian would. <br />I would, if you have any kind of relationship with one or two of the other artists, ask them for some feedback on your pieces. Constructive feedback will give you information to grow as a quilter. This is why I enter juried shows, to get feedback and glean something from the judges comments.<br />You can do this Steph, your work is good...don't let one sucky weekend drag you so far down you can't recover.<br /><br />TeriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
