Ev Scott Studio

Times change.

  

I started selling at Craft Shows in 1974.

I did that until I went into Retail with a store in 1989.

Then I offered my wares in US magazines -

The Country Sampler and Country Folk Art in 1994.

And then I started selling wholesale at trade shows

in Pennsylvannia & Ohio.

That was craziness.

Supplying 65 stores through the USA

and tackling the challenge of crossing the border.

The most difficult thing though

was being inundated with orders

until the joy of creating was smothered 

by the sheer weight of it all.

So then I went to Retail Shows in the US.

No orders hanging over my head, 

but going through customs after 9/11 was 

a headache.

So I did shows here.

That was fun but not viable and sustainable in the long run.

So I started selling on Ebay.

Oh my goodness - that was fun.

And entertaining.

I met so many wonderful people and loved watching

the auction part of it.

A few years ago, when I didn't have enough time

left for the auction, I did

'BUY IT NOW'

That was fun too.

And now comes FACEBOOK.

A Business Page called

EV SCOTT STUDIO

Now that is great fun too!

I still may list some things on Ebay.

And I may start an Esty Shop.

And I plan on pinning some things on Pinterest.

Yes, times change.

Things change.

They get just get better and better.

And the world gets smaller

and closer to our fingertips.

Creating Again

There hasn't been much happening here over the last number of months.

There hasn't been much happening in my Studio either.

Until September.

And then I was too busy creating to actually talk about it.

Oh how I enjoyed being up there again.

Rooting through my massive stash.

Finding inspiration in everything I lay my hands on.

Finding stuff that I had totally forgotten I have.

While I work away from morning til night, 

content in my chaotic mess,

someone reads to me.

It's an important part of my process.

It not only allows me to catch up on books

that I never seem to have time to actually sit down and read,

but it also keeps me focused -

my mind on the task at hand.

I sit still longer.

I created 20 pieces.

And now they are ready to move off in the world.
