It's also a good idea to pack it yourself; personal touch makes clients feel important. Good job, Carrie!<br /><br />-<a href="http://www.legacytsi.com/rigging/rigging-services.html" rel="nofollow">Renea Luong @ Legacy TSI</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974364189150938443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250068323501618005.post-60990586623679054672012-08-28T15:06:54.054-05:002012-08-28T15:06:54.054-05:00Wow, thank you!

May I ask where you get your photo corners?<br /><br />I admire that you make your packaging look very professional -- mine is much less fancy in comparison. I would love to do it better but it does take a lot of time and resources. However, there are bits and pieces from this tutorial I'd like to pick up -- like the brown wrapping paper, which is not expensive at all. I do need to learn about wrapping though -- I am extremely bad at it.<br /><br />My question would be with all the materials and all how much you charge for shipping? I charge for $10 domestically and find it barely cover all the mat, foam, tapes, clear bag, shipping cost, DPW commissions and Paypal Fees, and it seems unreasonable to raise the shipping charge even higher for artwork that costs less than $100. I feel caught in the middle and would love to hear your input on that... Thanks a lot!

(not that I am selling at the moment, but you never know...) I also like the interview with Dottie above, especially when she says to trust in your own style of artwork and not try to be like others! She is going to be a very successful artist, just like you! I can see it in just these few pieces!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250068323501618005.post-89831612699683286712012-08-23T21:42:17.612-05:002012-08-23T21:42:17.612-05:00Great post, Carrie!
