Tips to fellow artists:

The biggest tip is to go for it and don’t doubt yourself. I mainly started creating because I found it enjoyable, but never thought so many people would actually want to buy my products. Try in person events and put yourself out there to talk to other vendors- I’ve made some amazing friends and even have connections just over Instagram where we’ve encouraged each other, given advice, and just had fun!
