Affordable Art ?????

The album cover above looks like my living room, at different times the last month or more...if I was selling statues instead of needlepoint.....but you get the drift, don't you?....


a handful of canvases ready to ship out is almost charming....all spanking new, with or without embellishments...but let me tell you ...having one's vast body of work return , to be sorted,cataloged and shipped out again, is not much fun...even if it is your own work...at this point, after hundreds of canvases , who cares who designed the stuff.....it seems unending and I think it is giving me a rash...lol.....it is disturbing to see that much needlepoint at one time...truly... now imagine if it was old worn underwear...just kidding...only the stuff has traveled the world.... back and forth to various painting services ,that are now all overseas. The pristine canvases that leave my drawing table and go to the painting service, return to me looking like they have either lived outside for a few months, or were used as placemats at the dinner table.. In short, they smelled and had additional blobs of paint, etc., and were even unsuitable to even be sent to the next distributor or painting service. In some cases, someone had taken a magic marker to them to redefine specific color, such as grey. The worst ones were the dog portraits like the black lab that now has shades of purple and a Bichon with shades of green. Have to now repaint both of them.
The same folks that in one breath tout your designs, show a total disregard for your property when it is to be returned to you. The boxes of canvases come back to you and they are just tossed into whatever box is handy. Nothing is done to protect the canvases from the rain or any sort of moisture. No delivery confirmation, etc.

I have just repainted my large alligator on 10st....he had been painted so many times and touched and oozed on that some of the paint had even rubbed off....


these canvases have been on their own and at the mercy of the companies that have copied them....granted, some services take more care, but bottom line is that is the responsibility of the distributor to handle with care...after all they are leased items , and belong to me....


hint Fabreeze is a God send....takes care of the real smelly art...lol...


live and learn....knowledge is power...
