You always choose the best background music for these videos, nearly started passing out from how calm I felt watching this 🥹
Really good Polly
Thank you!!
Was lovely to meet you on the Friday, so I annoyed at myself that I didn't get the sanrio clown stickers. My anxiety was at its peak at this point so I just forgot:( So glad it went well, hope to see you there next year!
Ah, thank you for coming by anyway 🥰 Hopefully I will be there next year, it’s in the hands of mcm! I’ll be at hyper Japan next month, if you’re going to that, otherwise my Sanrio clown stickers are always available online. (Tho you might want to wait a little bit as more Sanrio clown products are coming soon!)
All your items look so cute and I love your Winx tshirt! 🌷✨ Hope it went well for you!
Thank you so much! 😊 yes it did! A vlog will be coming soon!
I have my first-ever craft and flea market this Saturday - so nervous. Glad yours went ok! Also was lovely meeting u at comic con<3
Good luck! I hope it goes well for you! 😊 wishing you slightly less sunny weather haha. Thank you for coming by to my mcm table 🥰
omg she is so sweet pretty and smart and full of knowledge
OMG YESSSSSSSSS IMMA BE THERE ON SATURDAY See u there…?
Yes! I’ll see you there 🥰
@@Pollygone yayyy exciting :)
omg I love how the enamel pins turned out❤
Thank you 😊 I’m very happy with them!
soxcks are weird lol, no heel
Yeah, it’s the only way I can make them. But my customers love it because it means I can have hundreds of options and it keeps the price of them cheaper. If I went to a manufacturer it wouldn’t be doable. Also they fit more people too 😊 They’re fine when you have them on
@@Pollygone dont they feel weird though lol
@@staceyros nope! I’ve also never had any complaints about them.
Hiya, I absolutely love your products, they are all so bright and colourful. I will be starting sublimation soon and wondered inks you use? Keep up the good work with the videos x
Thank you so much! I use A Sub ink, I get it from Amazon 😊
Did you use all the clay for these or did you have left overs?
Nope! I had soo much left over. About a bag and a half I think?
I’ve always loved collecting peoples business cards from etsy orders and cons, really miss collecting them but I don’t have that kind of money to throw around anymore 😔 I hope you were able to get a lot of sales with these 💕💕💕
That’s a fun idea! I haven’t actually used the new business cards yet (I’ve been using up the old ones), but thank you, hopefully I will!
Promo-SM 💃
deffo popping by your table on the friday of mcm :)
Thank you! 😊 I’ll see you then!
Are you allowed to just sell Sanrio merchandise?😮
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE CARDIGAN/SWEATER YOU WERE WEARING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS VIDEO OMG 💞💞💞
Haha thank you so much 🥰
Hullo Polly, I am always impressed with your work ethic! I thought your branding was super cute and I am curious as to why you decided to switch it up? I have seen quite a few creators who have been having troubles with their washi tapes and returns! I guess they are not a good supply to stockpile! The glue has been going bad/not sticking or the flip side it is sticking way to much and you end up with a blob that does not un-roll! I do enjoy seeing your products come together and how you continue to create fresh ideas and turn them into products to sell! I also purchased my own professional printer and just keeping it going was a chore! In fact I have an AD running for FREE pick-up I spent almost 3K when new, but I hope I got enough out of it and I had no questions about quality of my prints. I know it would not travel to the UK, it is an Epson 4800 Stylus Pro, a large format printer that does accept paper rolls. Good luck in the upcoming markets and wishing you only the very best at the next Con's!
Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve had no issues with the quality of my washi tapes, they’re just not selling as well as they used to, so it’s a waste of money to produce more if people won’t buy them :( I changed my branding because I had too many colours in it. It was distracting and made it hard to see my products, plus logos aren’t supposed to have a huge amount of colours in them. I just needed a good refresh! People seem to like it so far! I need a new eco-tank printer as it’s the best one to make into a sublimation printer, they’re not super expensive but it’s just money I’d rather not spend. Your printer must be a really, really good one! Mine are all under £250, maybe that why it keeps breaking haha, it’s the only one I can use for what I want to do though
How to order it 😮
Send me a message on Instagram 😊
Interesting to hear your artist journey and I love your designs, they’re so cute!! ✨🦆🌷
Thank you so much! 🥰
Hullo Polly, Glad to see your doing well and that you have a real handle on the business end of things!
Haha thank you, I try 😊
I posted a convention vlog bc u inspired me!
I posted a video a few weeks ago about how I designed my new branding! It’s up on my channel now ☺️
Congratulations!! You're set up looks amazing!!
Thank you! 💕
Would love to see that video!
I’ve just finished filming it, so hopefully it’ll be out soonish ☺️
I love your rebranding! 🧡
Thank you ☺️
keep doing what your doing gurl!
Will do! ☺️ thanks for watching!
Can I ask you when you use them you put distilled water?or no .
No, I just use normal water
NOICE
Wow! Your new art studio is fabulous! 🧡
It really is! Thank you :)
I went to animangapop Brighton in 2022 and it seems like it was pretty similar to your experience. It was very quiet (I don't even think other events were on around that time) and the vendors seemed to be having a tough time making sales. I had been considering vending there but after visiting, decided it's probably not worth it. Thank you for making this video though it was a good, insightful watch :D
Thank you for watching! ☺️ I probably should have done the same thing and visited beforehand too. Vendors that went in 2022 and returned in 2023 said it was even quieter this time round. I really should have done more research, but it’s still hard to tell how things will go, as it could have been better than the previous year. I’ve at least learnt a lot from the experience!
Which software you use in ipad for designing? Is it possible with Android tab also?
I’m using procreate, which is for iPads only
@@Pollygone procreate is a free or paid software?
Is it possible to create the design in ipad for sublimation? Can I get your WhatsApp no pls!!!
Yes it is possible to create it on your iPad! In the video I used my iPad to illustrate the designs, but I did transfer it to my computer to print and format the files I’m really sorry, but I don’t share my personal number
Hullo Polly, I do enjoy seeing your creations come together in your Vlogs and seeing you put them together and see their development is such a treat! Thank you! I have had bad and good convention experiences, I am glad you made your table back! I do hope you continue to work these events and research on events before you commit. It is so hard when starting out and even after you have been at it a while you can still get burned! I am looking forward to your new studio tour!
Thank you for watching ☺️ I’m definitely going to consider what events I do more carefully! I’ve posted the moving vlog, but hopefully a studio tour will be out within the next month or so. I want to make sure the new layout works for me
I’m so sorry that it didn’t go too well! Appreciate your point of view though, it’s so important! ❤️ That’s pretty bad that they wouldn’t refund you the difference! I’m actually doing my first animangapop next month, I don’t expect massive success but thought I’d give it a go! 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you so much <3 I hope your experience at Animangapop goes better than mine!
All the best with the new chapter. You're gona OWN 2024.
Haha thank you! 😊
First
I use a heat press; however, I have seen people use a regular clothes iron by continually moving the iron around a lot. I have not tried this. Have you>
Congratulations on your success at Comic Con! 🧡
Thank you!! 😁
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you 🥰
I love your work so much, you’re an inspiration and it is so great to hear your story. I am hoping to open my art shop next year when I get the money and I can’t wait. You have motivated me to keep going ❤
Thank you so much! Good luck 🥰
Hullo Polly, I hope you are doing well. I am not catching your videos when you post them! I have double checked my “bell” settings and it is set to ALL! I have ran my own Art business and I honestly don’t know how current artists create videos on top of creating actual artworks! I know that the algorithm is not helpful for the content creators that are not posting on a regular schedule! I have also had to keep looking up other artists that I enjoy watching their videos! Some do post regularly just not as often as the algorithm is set for! I encourage you to keep going, creating art that actually makes you money and brings you happiness! You create such wonderful pieces and so many are practical as well, my wife and I love your T-Shirts and you have always been an amazing artist, thank you for sharing your journey with us! I believe that I like the bears more than the frogs too! I will be keeping a lookout for your next video!
Haha, I’ve definitely slowed down on the amount of videos I can pump out now life is back to normal after covid. UA-cam is frustrating sometimes, though I think I forgot to share this one on Instagram (oops) Thanks for watching and I’m glad you’re still enjoying your T-shirts!
I love all the different experimentation you did with the clay bears. I think we sometimes forget all the work that goes into figuring out how to create the end product 🧡
Haha it’s a pain, but it’s the only way forwards! Thank you for watching 🥰
Thanks so much for sharing this, very insightful. On set up day do you just leave your stall overnight with all your merch and products out? Is there any chance of anything getting stolen? I'm exhibiting for the first time at Megacon (also at the Excel!) and just not sure what to expect.
Yeah, you do leave your stall out overnight (after set-up and between each day). Most people (if not all!) do this. I cover my table with my old tablecloths and I don't believe I have ever had anything stolen. However, I know some people have, but that is usually stuff that isn't covered. Anything super expensive you should take with you or lock up in boxes under your table. The only people who will be in the venue after hours will be other vendors, security and venue staff, but like anything, it doesn't mean anything is 100% safe.
@@Pollygone That's great to know. I'll be getting some covers too in that case. Thank you for the tips!
Air dry clay should only take 2-3 days to dry but not a week.
It did only take a few days to dry, but then I left the white paint to dry for another few days, then the actual paint for another few days and then a few days for the varnish! Plus, at this time I was working 3 days a week, so I couldn’t be spending all my time on it anyway haha
Been watching your videos all morning while product prepping and oh my goodness they're so enjoyable! Your work is beautiful and your videos are really lovely and chill to watch. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! <3
I'm so glad! Thank you so much 🥰 I make these kinds of videos so other artists can watch them while they work, I’m so happy they’ve reached my target audience
Hullo Polly, I have been so impressed by you and your art styles and I have enjoyed watching your videos and seeing you progress in this very competitive field of Art! I have not been watching very many shorts yet I do try to catch them occasionally. I started creating art when I was only 10 and my first teacher was my Grandmother! I am semi-retired after a stroke in 2016. I did enjoy a career of over 35+ years and I worked in so many different fields from inking comic pages to taking little league (Baseball) team photos. I did a lot of freelance work, but I did work at a couple of design firms and I learned how to use the computer and keep working around 1998 when I was refused a job because I had no computer skills! I am now back to paper/canvas and paint! Yep, my Gran taught me watercolor painting and I am still learning this wonderfully complex and at times quite aggregating medium! I encourage you to keep creating and sharing your art journey with your followers. I know recording is not easy and I hope you can continue. I do post on Instagram occasionally but nowhere near the numbers to generate a following! Thank you for sharing all of your amazing art and vlogs chatting with us. You are truly inspirational and so amazing! Please take care, be safe and remember to find the joy in creating your art. No matter what the medium you are always an Artist!
Thank you so much! 😊 I really appreciate all your lovely comments over the years. You sound like you’ve had a great career and it’s great that you’re still finding a way to stay creative 😊
It was so interesting to hear about your journey! 🧡 Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
I didn't see your booth omg I wish I did I would've brought stuff. I hope you'll be there in 2024!!
Thank you! I’m hoping to be 😊 I’ll definitely be at Hyper Japan in July & I’m at Animangapop Brighton on Saturday. (Plus there’s also my online store 😉)
Are you gonna be at mcm october 2024? 🫶🏻
Possibly! At the moment I’m planning on it, but it’s very early haha. May applications haven’t even opened yet.
@@Pollygone oh yay! I'm actually going on may on the Saturday so I hope to see you there!
