I have had a very busy fortnight. One day I had 10 sales on my Etsy shop alone. That is a record for a day there. I had spent between 3 and 4 hours packing and posting a day. Christmas is coming!
It's not only once or twice that people said they were surprised that I do packing myself. First, I don't have an assistant. Second, packing is an important job, which I take seriously. For example, I make a special commission for someone special, and if packing is not good enough it will ruin the work, my labour and my time as well as my reputation. Good packing could save your career.
Here are pics of those who went to loving homes earlier on. Most people buy my work as gifts at this time of the year, so I am sharing those I know are not secret gifts.

Tim was very impressed with your packing when his spoon arrived. Was also delighted to see your work in GalleryTop last weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charlotte. I didn't used to enjoy packing, but as I have to do so often, I decided I will enjoy it as much as possible. I now see it as a 3D puzzle. I am glad to know you enjoyed the visit at GalleryTop. : )
