Hello Beauties of the World !
I’ll make it short for now as it’s 7:43 and I have to make lunch and snacks for my girls today.
I have the pleasure to share a bit of my experience with Jamie’s Circe’s Circle over at her Studio. It is right there: Finding her wings, alumni Nolwenn Petitbois.
You can sign up now for the next circle, I’ll talk about it even more soon 🙂
Today is gonna be rockin’ awesome, hip hip !
See you soon.
Remember how I loved Kelly Rae Roberts‘ online class last year ? It’s called “Flying Lessons” and it was all about how to soar your creative business.
It was one of the more useful class I took in 2010 and she made an ebook from it. 205 colourful pages !!! I talked about it in more details right here.
For today only, she’s dropping off the price. It’s normally $140, today it’s $89. Yep.
I know it’s still a lot of money, but see it as I did: it’s an investment toward your creative dream.
The price is still noticed as $140 but once you click on “buy now” it’ll be the special one (so don’t be afraid): The Whole Shabang, tricks and tips to help your creative biz soar.
So hurry up, I promise you won’t regret it 🙂
Hello !
Here I am, finally taking this big huge step in my creative life. Thanks to all your support, I am finally opening a shop where you can buy my artwork.
I drop off this failure fear that kept me aside for so long. For the moment, I opened an account on the RedBubble website. You can by my artwork on a lot of different supports: postcards, prints (with lots of options), on canvas etc. I love the fact that the buyer can chose exactly what s/he wants.
I am filling it a little bit everyday. If there is an artwork you like that I don’t have in the shop, don’t hesitate to ask me for it.
I am also in the process of pricing my originals. Some are made on canvas, others on wood panel. I want to be sure it’ll ship safely and today i don’t know how to pack art yet. Those of you who already sell your artwork, I admire you; pricing is very hard in my opinion.
Again, if you’re interested by buying one of my originals, send me an email. The address is located at the top of the right column.
We are working on a pretty integration of the page here in the website so it’ll be easier for you.
It’s right there (click to go to the website):
This week is not even at its middle but is awesome so far. When I woke up this morning, I decided that this wednesday will be just fantastic, setting a intention for the day helps me a lot.
Today, Jamie asks us What do you wish to step into?
I wish to step into my Life Mission. It may sound weird or whatever but it becomes a little bit clearer. I have the great outlines of what it is but not the details yet. Trust me: it’s VERY frustrating.
I also wish to step into the artist i am without fear of showing my art to the World.
Following the encouragement and suggestions of wonderful Connie, I opened a seller account on RedBubble. I’m busy scanning and processing pictures of my artwork to sell. You can see it here (and i linked it to my facebook account so if you’re my friend of facebook, you’ll see each new item I add):
And last but not least, I wish to step into the writer in me. Let the words come out of me instead of keeping them all, giggling inside, hurting sometimes. I have this book project for more than a year, that I kind of gave up a few months ago. There are too many signs coming my way showing me that I should take care of it now and release all this. Maybe what I have to say will be helpful to someone.
Sometimes, when you discover a workshop (online or in real life), something starts stirring inside of you, and a voice is screaming in your head, telling you “this is your time, NOW, sign up !“. Of course, Gremlins are never that far aways “And where will you find the money to pay this class ? you don’t earn any penny ! you are a family of four, you’d better buy food than spending dozens of dollars in this kind of stuff, don’t you think ?”
That’s exactly what happened to me when I read Kelly Rae Roberts‘ blogpost announcing the launch of her eclass.
I knew Kelly Rae first thanks to her book, Taking Flight, that is a “must have” in the mixed media world. I bought it when we arrived in Vancouver, if I remember well it’s the first book in the subject I bought. Inside, she explains her Journey in the creative world, and gives some tutorials; I really like it and still flip through it now and then.
I follow her blog, and am always glad to witness how she expands her business and her life.
She listened to her Inner Voice and created a jam packed eclass. Not a class about painting, about creating pretty faces as we would have expected, but a class sharing all her top secrets about creating a successful creative business. 5 weeks, each one focused on a precise subject. This was A GIGANORMOUS amount of precious informations. She interviewed people in different creative areas that gave us their own input. This was just fabulous.
A huge tribe gathered around her, and everyone shared personal experiences, helpful tips and tricks, it was just exactly what I needed and it was well spent money. An investment in my future. The step I needed to take to finally learn and go further.
And since I took this class, everything is changing around me. I’m less affraid of buying my artwork. I am meeting amazing people. Building strong relationships because I finally accept that yes, I am an artist and yes what i create is liked by some.
I have a passage of Gene Simmons (you know, one of the KISS member) tv show in mind, a sentence my husband always repeats to me when doubts come around: “whatever you have to offer, there will ALWAYS be someone to buy it“. And if you take time to think about it, it’s true.
I am putting my Heart and Soul in this business I am creating for you. I really hope it will work, and if it doesn’t, at least I’ll have no regret because I’d have tried.
Kelly Rae is becoming a mama and doesn’t know if she’ll run this workshop again. That’s why she created ebooks from it. Each week is an ebook, that you can buy seperately if you don’t think you need everything, but you can also buy what she calls The Whole Shabang that regroups EVERYTHING (and costs cheaper than if you buy each ebook separately).
The ebooks are more than beautiful and you’ll so be able to have all the infos handy when needed, to read it again and again and again.
I needed some time to digest all this and that’s why I only write this now, despite the workshop ended ages ago. I won’t lie: it was sometimes overwhelming. And the ebook format is very handful because you don’t have the pressure of understanding everything in a short amount of time: take all the time you need to read, do you own researches, make it your own… and then, you just have to spread your wings and soar.

PPS: yes, it is an affiliate link, that means I earn a little money when people buy an ebook via the link on my blog.
