• Sales @ Ten Weeks (two new tshirt sales!!)

  ___ / FIRST BIT OF NEWS / ___ I sold two tees Yay (one last night and one this morning!!!!!) Two Latest Designs sold (with many thanx) to beautiful fellow bubblebees Firstly, last night some time Liesl Yvette Wilson an aussie artist living in London who does gorgeous children’s illustrations (please pay her a visit !!) purchased my latest Kokeshi Doll Autumn TShirt: ...and NEXTLY, SalsBells69 a fellow bubblebee and wonderful photographer from Australia, purchased my other latest tee design Fantasy Island Retro TShirt: I have been really down lately, and these two sales have boosted my spirits enormously, a very big thank you to my two special buyers Leisl and Sal :) thanx guys! _________ NEX BIT OF NEWS * ( / i see you’re still here, thanx so much for hangin’ round for next bit) / ________ Hi fellow bubblebees, I joined red bubble community on or around about the 7th February 2008 (near on 10 weeks ago) i think :) i never know what today’s date is even tho it’s apparently right here on my computer screen…i am really a computer illiterate in many many ways (sh don’t tell anyone that lol) – my friend frozenfa knows this only too well :) Just me with a special update…for a while now I’ve ummed and ahhhed as to whether to share or not about sales and figures…when i first started bubbling i was so excited i couldn’t help but share good news…but as time’s gone by, I’ve noticed the ups and downs emotionally that we all go through over the good and bad times. I think all of us struggle terribly when no-one’s buying our work, and I’ve had an immense struggle with it myself. When no-one’s buying you think, okay, it’s all over bar the shout, i’m finished, i’m washed up, i wanna get out of this cruel game which is a roller coaster ride to say the least I’ve watched friends many times feel despairing, and I know that feeling so well. So sometimes sharing about sales and views can crush someone else’s spirit, or it can spur them on to become more and more determined to win the big prize :) I feel seeing someone else’s success does both these things to me. I’m not sure how the rest of you are going with your sales and progress, i’m told some even make close to a living from selling their work here…...I’m far from that goal ….. but we must continue to encourage one another all the more if some are feeling low and flailing, there are so many wonderful artists here, and i see they have no comments on their work, or just one and i wonder why is that? I have been so encouraged by this wonderful community and the warm sentiments fill my heart with joy and put a spring in my step, i can assure you all of that :) and I wanted to say thank you to everyone for being like, my extended family of brothers and sisters :) Anyway, I’ve been keeping quiet about sales and views for a while…..i wonder whether if you’re doing well..people will drop you off their watchlist….or if you’re doing not so well, people let you go anyway, i really don’t know…. But i try to be honest about who i am, so i’ve decided to lay it on the table today….and here are my stats :) Ten Weeks on Red Bubble art views 25,045 / clothing views 7,350 card sales 25 / tshirt sales 12 / _print sales _ 1 total sales* 38 translated $$$’s $163.48 ________ FINALE _ (if you’re still awake and stuck with me til this / point, i must applaud and congratulate and send you / big hugs and thanx :)_ ________ I’ve been very busy lately, as i was commissioned by some folks in United States to create some designs for a business proposal…don’t think i can say much more than that…but stay tuned as it could turn into something big….and that would be very cool :) thanks for listening to my guff everyone, love yas all :) big hugs from Karin xo

  A little while ago I was contacted by Eliza Grey from the Advocate (the newspaper that services the North West coast of Tasmania) asking if I would be interested in participating in an article about RedBubble. Of course I was only too happy to oblige being as RedBubble itself and all you wonderful people in the RB community have helped me so much in my journey as a photographer. When the photographer from the Advocate came out to take a few pictures to accompany the article, I took him down to the boat ramp as the views down there are magnificent! I was a little apprehensive though… See, we were having a king tide at the time, and when he asked me if I would be game enough to go out to the end of the jetty which was all but underwater I had to think twice… It wasnt me I was concerned about, HE WANTED ME TO TAKE MY CAMERA OUT THERE!!! It all turned out well in the end though, both myself and my beloved Sami survived the experience and below is the result. Many thanks to RedBubble and every-wonderful-one who has made me feel so welcome here.

  I took Harrison to the beach with me this avo. He likes to dig for buried treasure while I take photos. Today I was snapping away when I noticed 2 surfers getting out of the water and they climbed up onto some rocks right next to me and started pointing out into the water. Turns out they’d gotten out because there was a shark. We’ve had heaps of newspaper reports and news coverage about the increase in sharks on the coast lately but I never thought I’d actually see one. It must have been a big bugger too because it’s fin was clearly visible through the waves. I managed to get a couple of shots off before it disappeared. We hung around for a while after but didn’t see it again. I think the surfers went home to a nice cold beer. / / Sorry about the quality of the pic – it’s so small you can’t see much – but it was definately a shark….
