I have started to think about Christmas already so I can get some stuff done while I still have a bit of free time over summer. I also want to be able to print these before the rush right before christmas. I am keen to make some new designs for cards this winter as I have had a few people say to me that they would be interested in buying their cards from me this year, which is obviously really nice to hear! However, I also want to see if I can easily adapt some of my existing designs which I know have already been successful.
I think these have potential to make some simple cards and tags. I think i'm going to keep things simple with the penguin design and just use the existing image with a message of 'merry christmas' or something similar. I may consider adding colour to the hat. With the pug drawing, I want to add another element, most likely some reindeer antlers as these somehow feel slight less cliché than a standard santa hat.
I did a few sums and I worked out I can make these pretty cheaply but still good quality. Hopefully this will allow plenty of room for profit and paying myself for the time it takes me to pull all of this together. Now I need to look at whether there are any local craft fairs I could take part in or whether it would just be enough to sell these online and to people I already know in person.
I am also wondering whether this could evolve into a more substantial project that I could complete as part of my extended practice. Greetings cards is something I am definitely interested in learning more about so this could be an option.
