It is good to be able to offer folk a chance to purchase a little something like they might in my studio. I am pleased with the updated portfolio as well - I think it is important to me, for me, to maintain that page and to show where I have been going and what I gave been doing. Already I need to pop Conversations up! Go well.Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-46742838835442315212014-02-01T03:22:42.794+10:002014-02-01T03:22:42.794+10:00Your online shop is looking wonderful, Fiona! You ...Your online shop is looking wonderful, Fiona! You are offering a nice range of "accessible" pieces, & bring up an interesting point about the dilemma of price threshold for online artwork. It's undoubtably true that people cannot truly appreciate the beauty/intricacy/details of a piece until holding it in their hands - a shame, as this means that most will never have the chance to experience all of the unique & exquisite work that exists (& is just waiting to find a home). At least the web does make it easier for artists to share work with others, whether through a blog, website or shop. I hope that your shop continues to be discovered by more & more people...<br />Your updated portfolio is also looking smart - you have created such an impressive body of work...it must be very satisfying : ) Happy continued creating!Arzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-53715883044042259332014-01-23T14:53:41.459+10:002014-01-23T14:53:41.459+10:00Thanks Charlton - any feedback welcomed, and I hop...Thanks Charlton - any feedback welcomed, and I hope you enjoy your wander.

I think you are right about the sort of price point at which people are reluctant to buy works online. It has happened, but I've also found that my "online" work in the Etsy shops tends to be more accessible financially. Best wishes....you are off to a fine start for the year!Missouri Bend Paper Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153989891514458384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-58400262644141094802014-01-22T02:16:40.187+10:002014-01-22T02:16:40.187+10:00I like your web site.

I'm wondering what platform you used to create your site? And are the prices showing in US dollars or is the computer doing a conversion somehow? Probably asking too many questions so I'll stop now.
