What art products are worth it? Luxury Art

Yesterday[s post was all about saving money on buying art as well as budget mother’s day gifts.
What money have you spent on your art that has been worth it? From spending on advertising, computer art programs, to easels,

1. What art program over $25 bucks can't you live without
2. What art tool do you own and love
3. Do you buy expensive paint or paper, easel?
4. Have you ever paid for advertising your art or artisan products?


To me my tablet was a needed expense because it helps me grow as an artist

Save Money for Art-lovers, Mother's day gift ideas

Save Money for Art-lovers

Art can be expensive but if you’re on a budget and love art. Who doesn’t like to save money. I like to save money on some items and then spend the money on other things like computer parts or gifts for family. You don’t have to let a soft economy keep you from surrounding yourself with art.
1. Check to see if your local art museum has yearly passes if you plan to go to the art museum a lot.
2. Search for coupon codes for www.zazzle.com for your favorite artists. You can get further discounts by buying bulk. Inexpensive art items at zazzle include postcards, magnets, and stickers. You can customize many of these items turning something into a luxury item.
3. Yard-sells and thrift stores can have originals and prints at less expensive prices but it may involve time.
4. Etsy has expensive and not so expensive art prices search around for prints and originals. Etsy has a lot of homemade artisan items like soap and purses at much cheaper than designer prices if you look around.
5. Make your own art out of recycled pieces. Make sure the pieces are non toxic.
6. Join art clubs, or form art swaps to swap art for things like art, soap or clothes.
7. Food can be art and making your own food rather than buying a bunch of processed foods is cheaper and more expensive. Rice, lentils, bulk cheese, whole potatoes can be options.
8. Furniture doesn’t have to match if you’re going for an arty look. You just have to make sure items are not on recall lists.

Thankful Thursday

I was sad this morning and I didn’t think there was anything to be thankful for between the stuff in Japan, my mother’s friends accident, and other stresses
I realize I must find gratitude in something.
What am I thankful for?

I am thankful for the love I feel for my husband and children.
I am thankful my art got featured and that people were kind enough to check my art out
I am thankful for water
I am thankful for a hug
I am thankful when I get a nap in.
I am thankful for art and the ability to create
