I taught a few classes back in November. It was really – really wonderful. . .but at this point I have decided it just is not something I want to do at least not for the next couple of years. I just have so many other things I want to focus on. Speaking of which I was interviewed about my art for The Denver Post recently. The interviewer Dana (thank you Dana) – did a fabulous job.

Okay, back to what I was saying about not wanting to teach. I still want to share knowledge and other art swag. Besides so few things are free anymore. So clicking on the image below will get you the booklet in pdf form that I gave people who took my “Selling your art on eBay” class. For those of you who took it – gracie and well, you got the information eight months before it went public. I have updated it since then as well so you might want to scope it out. Ebay has been amazing for me and I am a complete geek about my feedback (1550 positives, no neutrals and no negatives baby). I actually thought it would die down once I opened my webstore. It hasn’t yet and I am finding that eBay, etsy and a webstore attract totally different people. However, I know eBay is not going to be my focus as much anymore now that I have my shop. ebay booklet

So hopefully this information can give someone else a jump start. P.S. It also has things that apply to etsy and well just selling your art on the internet. Here is the link for the successfully selling your art booklet. I release it into the public domain – share it and use it however you would like. Xo Tiffini

Holy Moly. . .it took me a gazillion hours to sort out my mailings today. International shipping, priority and first class is all different now. For most of my items shipped via first class mail postage more than doubled. First class is just now. . .three different rates. . .sigh. Oh well – I think I have conquered it and everything is on its way.

After getting through the packing it was just so nice to take some time to do a piece of art today. It has just so busy with the new store. This was sort of my “quickfire challenge”. I have spent so much time at the computer that anything digital was out of the question. So I figured I had an hour to spare and a couple of old art books that seemed in need of being chopped up.

I finally broke down and loaded up Google reader. It has just gotten impossible to keep track of what the heck people are doing by clicking on my links. After a couple of hours it is all ready to go – I am so happy. Should make the whole keeping up with blogs so much easier.

Well now for the important part the contest results. . . More
