i have a friend who has a small farm and raises sheep. she makes such lovely crochet w the wool, which she spins herself. she sells them so cheap, she barely makes any money. she has an etsy shop, and does markets.
she was asking about photographing her stuff on fb recently, and i told her she needed a pro, and that it wd b worth it, since she wd sell more. she- i literally cant afford a pro. me- u cant afford not to. invest in yourself.

but she just cant. she knows a couple photogs, and i suggested she try to get 1 to work on spec. i hate that idea, too, but i know it wd pay off.
she also sells yarn. here’s her etsy shop- https://www.etsy.com/shop/VidenovichFarms



i was a painter, and never sold a painting. my style is simple. ppl wd ask- how long did that take?
me- all my life. that’s me on that paper.
