I wanted to use my paintings for something more as it seemed a shame for them to just sit there after I had put so much work into them. So I have been experimenting in turning my art into pendants. I'll be posting my creations sometime this weekend so that might give you some ideas too!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077749964397488191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586209003497544940.post-90833158733349924112009-10-08T17:19:38.375-05:002009-10-08T17:19:38.375-05:00Darla, this is a great idea.

If you can and have time, totally try some. They will look awsome and hopefully you will sell these along side you art! <br />What would you like to make?<br />Thank you for your lovely message Darla!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586209003497544940.post-2526034764112408342009-10-08T10:33:44.665-05:002009-10-08T10:33:44.665-05:00I'm more likely to purchase a canvas for my wa...I'm more likely to purchase a canvas for my wall!

That way, it can be justified.<br /> The high income earners can afford to pay for art to sit on a wall!<br />I am not in the high income earner bracket, so I paint my own art for the walls at my house, oh and "painting is my passion".<br /><br />Gosh, I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for.<br />Hugs,<br />AnnaAnna Rosa Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776801135504956709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586209003497544940.post-52265324304801204812009-10-07T14:43:09.558-05:002009-10-07T14:43:09.558-05:00Congratulations Darla on the Treasury!!!!!

If it's a bag or something like that - it doesn't have to be dusted!

In answer to your...Congratulations on the treasury!<br />In answer to your question about art, I rarely buy original art pieces, either because I feel I could make it myself or because I can't afford it.<br />I buy quite a lot of prints though and have them in pretty frames all over my house, the other thing I buy a lot of is anything that combines art with fabric, because I am appalling at sewing and love the combination of the 2 together, art dolls, mini quilts etc<br />I also love to buy little painted polymer clay sculptures and painted wooden dolls/houses etc<br />I display these all over my house!<br /><br />I'm sure that's not a lot of help for you but I tried ;)<br /><br />Micki xMicki Wildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09719473182855936757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586209003497544940.post-82588100848213908482009-10-06T22:15:03.107-05:002009-10-06T22:15:03.107-05:00Hello~

But, I prefer functional art or art that is small enough to use in a vignette of some sort.
