I will print them and put them on my inspiration wall for the times I get lazy about my art. That said, I was wondering - do you think a newbie should get a body of work before she starts marketing it? Also I know an artist should start a resume of pieces sold but I'm not sure what form that should take?Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-51498664771900781582009-01-21T19:08:00.000-08:002009-01-21T19:08:00.000-08:00Great post Elizabeth!

And I would highly recommend it. I very much feel included in the community even though I've just started. SAQA is also an invaluable source for quilting art and business information of every kind.Cate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-71700328234237298352009-01-21T18:24:00.000-08:002009-01-21T18:24:00.000-08:00Very thought provoking.

I do still have a few questions: In "Show your work to as many people as possible" do you have thoughts/ guidance as to what types of personal marketing you believe add value and/or work best for a textile artist? You mention handing out postcards of photos for feedback, but what about our cyberspace reality? Finally (for now), I think that somewhere in all this there needs to be a statement about being bold. It's tough to market oneself without the courage to thrust yourself and your work out there.Vivien Zepfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110439402332926588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-28069389370576776642009-01-21T15:22:00.000-08:002009-01-21T15:22:00.000-08:00Do you think it's worthwhile to join SAQA?Do you think it's worthwhile to join SAQA?Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730298448632087144noreply@blogger.com
