Hi, I'm Nicole! Here I'll show my life as a full-time artist, whether it's the behind the scenes of running my online shop, drawing little plants and creatures, or sharing the latest artist alley I attended. Thanks for visiting!
I went there! There was a lot of cool artists!! But super packed compared to the last time I had gone there for a different event. Parking was the most stressful part since it was ppl going there for the mall + collectors + the artists. But I love seeing your stuff when I go to SJmade events ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🐸
Thank you so much for liking my wares at these events!! Yess i think that was the biggest problem all around - between all the things you mentioned, it was a very very busy time. Thanks for supporting the event and artists!!
I like how you give us insights into your business and also always very valuable tips about ordering or creating stuff. 🥰✨🙏 It is really inspiring and it seems like you had a great time ☺️🎉 Also, could you maybe tape the measurement of your selling spaces on the ground beforehand to get a feel for the space? 😅
@@katiecanine4548thank you so much! Im happy you find it informative and inspiring! And you are absolutely right- practicing the setup on a table or marked space is a great way to do it. I used to do it before every event. I definitely recommend it especially if first starting out! I found spaces often tend to be slightly different than whats told to us so even if its stressful it does help me strengthen my planning muscles to just adjust on the spot instead of being frustrated i cant do the exact thing i planned :’)
I also really love nature, it truly is so inspiring and I really like how you give little informations with what inspires you and what your thought process was ☺️❤️ your videos are also fun to watch, just watched the last 3 in a row because I missed them somehow 😅😁👏 also the ghost frog in the background in that box, so adorable, it's as if it was watching you, too 😂☺️
What a chill vlog 🥰 I think it really shows how you reflected on everything. Now you have built the whole backstory on your website, your characters are really more creature like and all belong together in this world you created full of nature ☺️ I like it! ❤ Even though my art style is pretty different you still are a huge inspiration so thank you for this video ☺️🎉✨👏
Thank you for all the tips and insights into your story. ❤ You achieved so much and learnt so many new things, it must have been overwhelming here and then but in the end you created these awesome products which must feel great 😍🎉👌I also want to start a small print and sticker shop at the side while working full time and your words about taking it slow def stuck with me because there is so much I would love to do 😅
A side comment from me , I just noticed I think we have the same blue stardew chicken LOL!! 🤣 but also want to say that I love hearing what inspired you and the story behind each artwork! Your art is so uniquely you and I feel like even if you pivoted a little bit or stop drawing as many frogs as you do, I would still recognize it :)) so fun and calming to watch!
i thought i saw that chicken in yours too, thank you for confirming hahaha! thank you friend! i love drawing frogs and will always draw them but i love so many other weird little creatures too, they deserve the love too 🐸 🦎 ❤️
Taking product pictures is one of my least favorite things too. When I started my business I thought it was soooo much fun but now I dread taking product pictures every time 😂😭
Loved watching this Nicole! I'm so thankful we met back in 2019 🥹🤗 😊 I appreciate you mentioning that thing about a switch turning on inside your head because I just feel like that happened to me recently where I just don't care about my job that might end soon yet I'm not panicking ...and I just want to do my art and go to markets again lol. I definitely want to get into wholesale and going back to Kickstarter stuff! Thanks for sharing your tips ❤
Im so thankful too to have met and known each other this whole time! ;o; That switch in my head was really important- i hope it helps you too and you achieve all ya want!! ❤️❤️
@@munespice thank you!! I will try Etsy i think i will understand that more but i hope i will eventually get to the point where i can make my own website!!<333
Yes! :D its a way to buy postage from usps, ups, etc all in one place. So whichever type of postage you purchase, you will drop it off with that company :)
