    You are a wise woman! Your decisions are sound and practical and as long as there are people in the world who love art and beauty, your work will be in demand. Iliana is growing so fast and is so adorable💕

    Dear Laura, I enjoyed this video. You know, I've bought a wonderful print in reddish colour from you. As a former art galerist (long time ago) I would like to give you a pair of recomendations: first of all, you are way to cheap! I paid three times more for a beautiful frame with non reflecting museum glass than for your print, can you imagine? Second: apart from the numbered edition of 20 examples (in the future you should raise the number a bit) you legitimely can make a number of artist proofs.
    I like that you delegate the non creative aspects of your art making like mailing and contability in other hands, to optimize your limited time. Also your own website is an excellent idea. Abundance comes from giving yourself and the artist in you the value that you defintely deserve...
    I wish you and your family all the best!

      Agree, up the limited edition to 100 and it's exclusive. Wait till I pay for mine then you can put prices up lol

      Hi Peter, wonderfull to find you here in the commentsection! Thank you so much for your wise words. I've made a few changes since starting up again now. 40% increase in price, raised the editions to 40 and currently six prints are being professionaly digitalized to make quality artist proofs or reproductions soon. I definitely need to start valueing my own time and effort more :p

    What a nice surprise of a video. I can't believe the "little peanut" is at the stage of trying to walk when it seems like only yesterday that you were holding a newborn. Your business ideas seem sound, especially delegating more work and realizing your limitations. Keep making changes as you figure things out along the way and good luck!!

    You could consider outsourcing the printing, or invest in a printing press so you could just focus on design?
    You could also consider reproduction prints into smaller items, such as cards and postcards; therefore earning money from past designs?
    Some farms also welcome in paying guests who are interested in permaculture and assisting you with the animals, farming and building structures; which in turn, helps you.
    Good luck, we all enjoy watching your progress and congratulations on your beautiful little girl 💕

    Making cards from your prints can be automated easily by having them digitalized and printer by a printer and they could be an attraction for those who have a lower budget or love to give cards.

    Lovely to be surprised with a new Vlog.
    Having grandparents living around the corner would make living working with kids so much easier. We haven't had that when our children were little. How far away is the next family with children? Are you open for more people settle in the neighbourhood work together to have a bigger number of people around?
    From the Vlogs it looks quite solitary for me.
    Art for money can be tricky but you seem to find a good way. I love the big prints but do not have space for it. Series of postcard sized prints would be very welcome.
    It is so lucky we have seasons to organize the year like in the old days when farmers turned crafty in winter.
    I wish you can enjoy the cold season have a little more cosy time in that beautiful built house of yours and I am looking forward to see a new Vlog sometimes.

      Yea, we dont show much of our social life on our channel :p We have a few friends with babies on the island but they live at least half an hour from us. We are in close contact with a local family with older children as well. But having our own family living close by to take over Eleana a few hours here and there would have been lovely indeed. Soon another friend will join our local area as well. I think I need to be patient, it takes time to build up those social networks. Thanks so much for being here!

    Will you help?
    Keep up the good work and happy parenting.

    Laura, have you seen the work of some more famous Estonian graphic artists like Eduard Wiiralt? "Hell", "Reclining Tiger" and "The Berber Girl with a Camel" and are probably the most famous works of Estonian graphic art.

    Why do you expose your daughter like this on the internet? Wouldn´t it be appropriate to at least blur her face? You´d have the original video anyway.

      I’d like to think that your message comes from a good place, from caring, though the tone comes across a bit harsh. In any case, this is a personal decision for them as a family, and I for one don’t see anything inappropriate in the limited things they share about their life there, which of course includes their daughter.

    • @elizabethstreeter2145
      @elizabethstreeter2145 18 днів тому +3

      I agree with the comments about doing post cards or writing cards of some of your prints I know this is getting away from your original work but it might help the euros angle as not everyone can afford or have the room for one of your larger prints as stunning as they are
