I saw this lady at a art show she had little roses in pots but when you got closer they were made out of fish scales, she was around a fish market and figured out a use for the piles of scales. Who says you cant make a fish smell like a rose well maybe look like one.
We talked and she said it takes days to make one did not have time to say too much but was selling them right and left as we talked, good thing we can multi-task.
so we look around us and see what there is we can make into art oh and as artists we can do something with anything, Take rocks you can polish them string them and sell them if its pretty they will sell. I have lots of gemstones to prove that.
I have also seen (paintings) lack of a better work made from dyed wood chips from the husbands saw he woodworks and she makes beautiful birds with wood chips for feathers, So who would have thought of using wood shavings that way and artist would.
artists dont see the world as others may we look at something and say of that is neat what could i do with this? so now the question is what will you do will you look for something that can be reused and make something special ? www.almajofineart.com

how to make your art sell?
Today i read a newsletter and it made sense to sell art it has to be different. So now the question is what can I do to mine to achieve that? whatever you do u have to be unique . Yes i have noticed that the person at the shows with something new will sell like mad, one lady had roses made out of fish scales now i know that took a log time to do but she sold everything she had brought. I could handle that, so now what can i do that no one else is doing well at least not in my area? So now the thought process is on to kick it up a notch to get the attention of people .
I paint in oils and acrylics so its got to be something that really jumps out whatever i come up with.
So think about what you make where can you take it to what level?
look around at what is selling get with other artists throw ideas around we all want to be able to sell our art at least most of us, some dont and that is ok too.
now i will go into my studio and see what i can come up with, alma jo
