I am amazed with the size of that sand dollar and thank you for the glimpse of the ocean at the end of your video. Glad to see you are more comfortable with your choices regarding your business. i think it would be really difficult juggling having inventory in a store and online at the same time. I think the only way a person could do that without stress is if the inventory in the store was treated as if it had already sold and wasn't listed online. A person would be having to stock both and there would be the pressure to get both done and that pressure would I expect take the enjoyment out of the artistry. Once that's taken out it is just work. I think you are a talented artist and a talented business woman, I admire that.

Yeah I've been thinking about it for a while then with my last order it happened again with the inventory confusion and that was enough for me. Not a high drama circumstance, but I know how important is is to listen to the signals.

It is so beautiful where you live. I loved that you showed the sunset on the beach at the end of your video. I could watch those waves at that time of the day forever. I'm glad to see your enjoying yourself with your hunter, he seems like he would be a fun kind of guy to spend time with.

I have followed you for years. I used to get paid for my art but never as successful as you. But I notice that you tend to isolate yourself out of fear from things. Like the Hunter, who is now your bf. Recently you have expressed how selling is difficult and dealing with all it entails. I think you are in a place in your life where you maybe need a break. But …. My thought is for you to stay true to yourself but not give up all you built. Try to not get frustrated. It’s not an easy business doing what you do but you have so much more success than so many other entrepreneur artists. Just sell your items at the price you want. If you need to create a discount, do it. But it’s not personal. What you create is beautiful. Isolate from the emotions with selling your art. Artists are emotional about their craft but try to isolate it from sales.

I really enjoyed your Vlog today. Beautiful sunsets and the ocean, anemones, and watching the joy you are living, its good to see. I also find that watching you paint with the wax is real calming. I was wondering if changing your light bulbs would make a difference. There are ones that are soft white but I got some that were a natural light for my daughter once, not sure if they still make them. I like incandescent but I'm pretty sure they don't make those anymore. Best wishes for figuring out your lighting issues. I actually liked the hoodies you weren't happy with especially the Fuschia one. I thought it was magenta, lol, I don't know much about dye colors.
@batikwalla
@batikwalla 16 күн бұрын
Thanks for the input! I agree about the lightbulbs. I have some en route that are supposed to be truer to daylight, also we're going to paint the interior white when it gets a little warmer out. That plus the extra shop lights will help a lot. I'm still in debate about the exterior awning, but there's more to it I haven't disclosed.

Your hair is blending beautifully. I was thinking it looks rather spectacular today. Maybe hanging some mirrors or leaning some against a wall, ir something. That could reflect the existing light. Just a thought. The fuschia shade is pretty. You'll figure it out! You always do!

Hello, friend, I watch and like your videos on my husband's account (Gene France) because he has a subscription to you tube. Please don't cut me off. I'm a batik and tie dye artist and I really get a lot of inspiration and value from all of your videos. I don't ever comment under his account name because it would be misleading but it's just me. And yes these are a treat to watch and you're providing ME a valuable service. I've had similar life experiences and can really identify with you.
