things couldn’t get
worse.
this was my pull me down to earth (wasn’t i already there, buried in fact?) thought when i had to re-price my art to a lower asking price at the physical site as well as on my etsy site and at my art exhibit. i thought i was under-pricing my art. turns out i am worth even less than i originally thought. it’s a sobering thought…. but supply & demand & all that….
sigh.
so i am not making any new pieces to sell. instead i am focusing on other projects, including doing nanowrimo for the first time ever.
so maybe it was the push i needed?
(lemons & lemonade & all that)
I honestly think it has more to do with this year than anything else emje. Every artist is suffering, unfortunately. You and your work is definitely worth it, it’s simply all about timing.
