Hi mel! I'm really interested w how you started selling art! Like how did you juggle school and having side hustle/s. :) Procreate Tutorials are cool too! I love how you pick your colors! (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Another great video. I think making a video on how you started selling your art and a Q&A would be nice. Can help those who are thinking about selling art like myself. The shrinky dinks are so cute!!! Also, the mic is amazing it's so clear!!

[@ashleysombres]

You're shrinky dinks are adorable. I understand wanting to start your channel back up. I'm working on getting the courage to start mine.

[@jdoart]

everything about this video is just so cuteeeee, the shrinky dinks, the art, you, and your dogs especialy leoooo. still thankful at yt reco for your studiovlog that time, one reason why i also started making and selling my art :(( and now you’re still my fave studio vlogger also, you making a podcast seems to be a good ideaaaaaa!

[@smoleart]

[@kevinsmith5360]

I love your shrinky dinks! :) They turned out so cute. I really like the segment where you were packing orders and talking about when you started making youtube videos and the reels and stuff like that. I’ve been watching you for a while and it’s so fun just to watch your journey and see where you’re going and how far you’ve come! It makes me a little sad to hear you say you’re dying out on youtube, I have a creative job that depends on an algorithm too and it’s so scary because you never know when the algo is just going to stop pushing your content. But I think your work is still great and I appreciate all the time and energy you put into sharing your life with us on here! PS I love the way you use random things as a makeshift microphone. 😂

[@smoleart]

thank you kevin!!! here's to ignoring that gross alg 🥂 :-)

Hi Mel! Gosh Big Cartel must have raised their prices pretty high to scare you off. I looked and I see it is $15/month if you pay monthly. Is that too high? I will be interested how you find squarespace. Great job on shrinky-dinks. Yes, don't wait to long to get that job! You worked so so hard to graduate that program! I think you should make a video on finding your PA job!

[@smoleart]

hi annalisa!! it doesn't seem like too much but it felt like there weren't any major changes for the rise! so with the extra few dollars going to squarespace i can finally create a secret shop for patreon and have a nicer portfolio :-)

[@lightbulbnirvana]

@@smoleart As long as you are getting the value you want! I hope you will do a vlog on your launch on SS! 🎆
