Where to sell embroidery paintings
There are many ways to sell embroidery paintings. The easiest one is to use the internet. There are a huge number of shops organized like craftsmen's fairs, where everyone exposes their work for sale. Naturally, it should be borne in mind that the competition here is quite high, so you cannot immediately count on success.
Study the offered assortment carefully. Based on this, you will understand whether it is worth posting your work here at all. Maybe it's worth, if there are some highly artistic creations against your bunny, look for another resource.
Alternatively, you can put up your embroidery for sale and advertise your services as a private craftsman in various thematic communities on social networks (LiveJournal, Facebook, Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, etc.). They usually include the "For Sale" section. This option is also good because you can monitor the prices for the work already exhibited there. This will help you decide on your own price tag.
It is believed that trying to sell your work on a thematic forum is a useless exercise, because there will be no one to buy them. However, experts are confident that this is not the case. After all, it is precisely on such threads of conversation that those who are interested often come. In addition, it is the thematic forums that "drop out" in search queries most often.
You can also take your work to a design store by yourself. Some of them sometimes purchase similar works in order to then offer them to their clients. Such embroidery works especially well in the general design plan if the company draws up a complete home improvement project.
There is an option to sell your embroidery at various weekend fairs. It is enough to come to it and stand in an empty seat to sell your work. It will be an advantage if you frame it.
How you can improve your chances
