I have been commissioned by lovely Heather at Mrs Feather’s Emporium to make some fairy paintings like these, which you may remember:
This has coincided with some news about some local craft fairs coming up, and I am mulling over whether to take my fairies further afield.
Art fairs tend to be large and ‘professional’ events, and I don’t consider my work to be QUITE there yet! Which is not in any way to diminish craft fairs as any less professional; they just tend to be a bit ‘cosier’ and more affordable both to do and to shop at, in my experience.
So I’ve been thinking how I might take my more crafty art to some fairs and see if there’s a market for it; the smaller paintings, the fairies, and now the cards too. I guess you don’t know unless you try…. 
What do you think? Have you tried taking smaller art pieces, that may cross over into craft, to fairs? Any thoughts on this would be welcomed. 🙂

Yes, depending on the craft fair, it works real well, as long as your prices are reasonable. People love art, but can never afford the high prices. So when they're able to take it home with them, they're so happy and appreciative. It's nice spreading your art all around. This is why I love doing this–to share it.
Thanks Diane, I know you do a lot of fairs so your advice is much appreciated!
Your fairy paintings are amazing. I would imagine people at craft fairs would totally fall in love with them and want to take them home. Oh. I would imagine that happening at art fairs too! They are so darling.
So I have no advice but wanted to cheer on the fairies.
Love those fairies,x
