Emz sketchbook

Pretty much the same picture as the last one so appologies for that but we forgot to get one while i was on the stall in action :P. So this was my stall all layed out in the hall.

Yesterday the stall was pretty much a waste of time. I was so disapointed by the number of people that came, looked like no one knew about it and I only made a sale of 2 cards. Made me feel a bit rubbish the rest of the night and my birthday night ended up me going back to hughs because i really wasnt in the mood for drinks did stay for laserquest though which was good.
Today was VERY different though. Was worried it was going to be as bad as yesterday but it was the total opposite. It was extremely busy pulling in all the people from my church next door and overall I made £150!! Soooo happy :D. Sold all 3 canvases, nearly all of my christmas cards and one or two prints aswell. What a wonderful feeling it is to get lovely comments about my work (even if they didnt buy anything) or when people actually want to pay you to have your work on their wall :)
The church took 20% of my sales and I owed hugh some money for all the printing/photo paper we did at his but I still feel it went very well for my first stall.
I feel this is really a good thing for me to be doing right now (not forever) but it really is a great way to make money and to keep doing my art while I try and get a more permanent job.
So yeah what a difference a day makes...
