As previously mentioned, I purchased fifteen of my own photographs as cards. I’d ONLY planned to give a few away as gifts to close friends, and in particular to the one person who convinced me that my photography was worth selling. She knows who she is. So this morning I brought fifteen cards into work purely to allow these friends to choose the picture they liked most … and allow them to have it for FREE. These are the photographs they choose. / / ... for Yve / ... for Rosie / ... for Jenny / ... for Liam / / Little did I realise what would happen next… / / First, Jenny liked them so much she insisted (read: I caved) on having four more. Who am I to argue with a woman? So I decided on a price, she agreed … and I earned another ten dollars. Yes, I reduced the cost to $2.50. But that’s what you do for friends, and free publicity. / / , , So I stopped for a minute to consider my options. Why not sell them? OK, so I had instructions from “SWMBO” to keep some for Xmas and Birthday cards later this year. I was implicitly told that two would go family interstate within the next week! / / So after a quick email, these two photographs were purchased by Yve: / / , Then Wendy said she might miss out – so she bought three (and asked for three that had already been purchased)! / / , , Whew! I feel exhausted and exhilarated all at once! And I need to remember to exhale. Because selling one’s artwork is like giving one’s children away. The photography and post-production is nothing compared with suddenly becoming a ‘recognised photographer’. One person did say I could make more money if I did all this myself. Possibly. But all I want to do is photograph. RedBubble remove the hassle by doing all the framing, laminated, sending, and finances for me! / / One more thing: Wendy also gave me the boost and the BEST Quote of the day : ” I’d rather spend my money on your work, not on Hallmark! “ / Wow, I’ve been compared with Hallmark – and won! She also indicated she will purchase more of my cards online. Only one of the didn’t sell. I get to keep this one for my desk: ‘A picture tells a thousand words’. I love this quote. No longer do I need to write to family and friends – I only have to take one photograph to write a thousand words!

Ok, a bit of a fluffy title, but I am over the moon because someone bought another card – my ‘Toadsville’ image. To the buyer, a huge thank you. My confidence goes up in leaps and bounds! The feedback I had from my other sale was extremely positive – RedBubble produced a very impressive product and the recipient was delighted. So I am sure that this buyer will be too. :-)

I have sold the original of Tropical Reef to a buyer from Brisbane…...I am proud to say this wonderful painting will be making it’s way to Brisbane early March…...I will deliver it myself….then head out to the art galleries whilst there…...The girl from the bush goes to the city…..lol This painting is 1m x1m and to truly value it you need to see it in person…there are layers of collage, layers of thin glazes of paint….it is truly stunning…..letting it go is not easy….. Hey guys, forgive me if I don’t get to comment on your work for a few days, I am back in the nine to five work force…..so time on computer at present is limited, the spare hours I have are spent on my painting and running my boys around….lol Thank you to my wonderful friends for the mail, keep it coming, love to you all, see / you soon…...Cheers Kym Tropical Reef

All happiness is a fleeting experience. We cannot hold on to it. This is also true when a picture appears on the Redbubble home page, as one of mine did yesterday. Today, only a day later, we can no longer see it. But fortunately the memory remains! And it is a good, a lasting memory! And what also remains are all the wonderful reactions which I got, are the 8 new watchers and the many, many views of the picture in case. It has been viewed 456 times up to now and got 54 comments and 42 favs – the absolute topper in my gallery. As I do not yet master the technique of placing a picture in a journal – old men are learning slowly, I am afraid -, I can only give you the link: http://www.redbubble.com/people/jchanders/art/589054-3-in-the-enchanted-forest#comment-4635479 Ever so many thanks, too, for all your lovely comments, not only for this picture, but for so many others. I experience them as a great encouragement! And many thanks too to Christoper Ewing who turned the attention of the shots in the fog group to yesterday´s home page. I am all the more grateful as without his mail I would just have missed it myself! Good luck and good light, Juergen

The Redbubble gods are meaning well. A second home page admission within one month! It happened yesterday! And I missed it! Only today I saw all the wonderful reactions on my acitivity list and then the message itself, leading me to the home page account. I also found that I have got a number of new watchers! What a great happening. I feel most grateful. It is indeed most stimulating to get so much support. And I am very happy with all the wonderful reactions again, just as I got so many lovely comments the last time. Redbubble has been good for me. So many interesting photographers with great stuff, and so many very kind people. And even three sales up to now! So this is again very much a general vote of thanks to all of you! Thanks to Tom I am now able to show you the picture here, even with the hyperlink. With 183 views and 14 favs it is bubbling strongly:
