If you ever want a dose of humble pie try selling some of your homemade crafts and art pieces.
You may spend hours creating a piece. This color or that? What watercolor paper to paint on? What fabric should this project use? The list of possibilities are endless. In the end it comes down to your personal taste. You like a certain group of colors, a specific fabric, a certain style of painting.
After hours of time trying to create what only you can see in your head you're finished.
Then you take it to a market and try to sell it.
Hours go by and people look, touch and contemplate. In the end they may or may not buy your creation. It all comes down to whether your creation works for them. Are the colors what they like? Is that the type of piece they were searching for? Do they have the cash on hand?
You think your work is great and would hang it anywhere. Others don't. Humble Pie.
Below are a few ink, watercolor and paper creations I have made that will be going to market on Saturday. Pie may ensue.
I am hoping to save some money for a trip to China to visit my sister and brother-in-law. I may have to offer to mow the neighbors' lawns a few times (like 100) if Saturday doesn't go well :-)
The below are called the Superbly Wordy Fairy Wrens. Inspiration was gathered from visits to Dixons Creek where the Superb Blue Fairy Wren flits around the surrounding fields. They are lovely little blue and black puff balls.
