Ok, so I have always done crafty things. I may not be brilliant, but I do produce some nice things - though mainly cross stitch or hand drawn mugs and t-pots.
Now, bearing in mind these are things that take time, there is never any way to make a living or really any money from these. I am aware of that. I put pics up and dont get much of anything from anyone (yes, I am aware that what one persons likes another won't)
My sister bought a punch. She punched paper out, stuck it on more paper and put it in a frame. That's it. And her friends on FB are near creaming themselves over it and wanting to order from her.
Literally 4 pieces of PUNCHED out card on white card. Total cost probably about £1 more than the frame.
We have a lady locally who hand cuts hers out with a scalpel. Now to me THAT is skill. Not punching something out.
And yes, I FULLY admit I am jealous (and fed up as I cant find a job and its now blatantly clear have no real skills to make ££), as all my life I do anything and its shrugged at. She does it and her sycophants make it out like she pooped gold.
