Adele, you are so sweet and generous with your information. Your transparency definitely creates a kind and sharing atmosphere in the doll making community. Thank you!
My pleasure! It’s definitely a choice, not necessarily for everyone too. I found that untill I have very established name as an artist, and can charge thousands of dollars for my dolls I have to find other ways to make this work 😅
You are a delightful creative, and a beautiful young woman. Love women who wear hats! 1 thing: I'm 71 and riddled w hereditary arthritis and my hearing is leaving me, which has caused my genetically- similar mother to lose parts of her brain function, along with her hearing. There is a straight-line tie between dementia and cognitive decline. Therefore: I advise you, in the strongest possible terms, to plan income for your retirement. Expenses stay high, yet one's ability to support oneself is almost nil. I'm still a girl, in my mind, and am intensively fascinated by what you create. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. And it’s a really good advice. I admire your passion for life even in difficult situations. Best wishes to you!
I am so glad you came into my feed on my email somehow!! Wow, you are incredibly talented and you make such beautiful dolls!! I subscribed immediately!! I can't wait to explore your other videos and perhaps I will be one of your Patreon followers too!!
Hi, My name is Eileen from USA…. I love your doll making and dolls!!! They are adorable and unique! I actually made a mushroom 🍄 doll after watching your video on it! It came out so cute! Good luck to you and everything you do! 🥰
Thank you! I really wanted to share that this career path is actually possible. These kind of videos were my inspiration when I was just starting out 🫶
Thanks Adele for this insight. I have been a follower of yours for a couple of years now, and have purchased your BJD course, I have not made it as yet. I am also pursuing an art career, which I hope to incorporate dolls at some time. It is inspiring to know, with determination and with following your intuitive direction, it can all work. Keep up the great vids.
I’ve just found your channel, I love to follow your blog and each new doll you make! I would love a video about firing porcelain and the use of gas kilns to fire porcelain. I remember reading you fire your dolls with an electric kiln but with high fire porcelain you need to fire to cone 10 how do you achieve that temp? Sincerely a doll/ceramics nerd. ❤
Your math don’t add up. Just from your Patreon at 40 members at $350 ea that is $14,000.00 per month total times 12 months is $168,000.00 per year from just your Patreon. So, you being the starving artist, no way. The numbers used are according to what you put out and what’s listed on your Patreon. Like I said, your math doesn’t add up to starving artist, especially when you consider your other avenues of revenue. You make out better than most of us Americans do, especially being a country with much lower cost the living than what we have.
@@Nymphaidolls are absolutely beautiful. It takes a tremendous amount of skill, imagination, and patience to create these beautiful dolls I would imagine. That being said let us progress to the monetary figures. That is a huge difference. Your Patreon members website says $350 a month and that you have 40 members. That’s over $14,000 a month, so perhaps may want to fix that.
