I made this collection of all my Etsy orders from last year on
Mixbook. Mixbook is one of many online photo book publishers, but it's a little bit different because you can collaborate together with your friends to create books online. The site was actually started a few years ago by some friends from my church, so yeah, I have
connections. Anyway, I made a book with each of my Etsy drawings from 2009, along with the customers' photos and their comments.
It's part personal keepsake, so I can have paper copies of all the drawings I mailed out. It's also part advertising tool. I had a copy of the book sent to my parents for two reasons:
- Because I love them
- Because I want to make money off of them
My parents are
highly skilled at bragging and are great Drawworm ambassadors to the world. Now they have a nice book to show their friends, who have children getting married and grandchildren being born, and maybe their friends will want some drawings.
I look forward to getting the book in the mail and seeing how it turned out! Hopefully the drawings look okay in printed form.
Way to go Kelley!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about making a book of my own art for advertisment purposses.
