Selling Art on Ebay Part 5: Wrapping

I sometimes get asked about how I send my artworks through the post. In part 4 of this series on Selling Art on Ebay you got to see me wrap an artwork as I talked about auction listings (well you did if you followed the link to the video that post was based upon).

However I didn't really explain what I was doing so I thought you may like to watch this series of two videos (embeded below) that I filmed specifically on wrapping my own artworks.

Before you watch them I have to apologize for the audio quality which is very crackly but you still can make out what I'm saying. I was trying out a new webcam at the time which, unfortunately had a very poor in-built microphone. However if you're prepared to persevere with the audio and my monotone voice I think you'll pick up a few useful ideas.

I'll completely understand if you give up on the videos. They are quite long and it is, after all, just how I do things.

If you're looking for more ideas about how to package your art then Susan Holland wrote an article that I highly recommend you check out over on Empty Easel titled, How to Safely and Securely Package Your Artwork for Shipping. She includes a fantastic template for making an artwork holder insert from a single piece of card - which, if you were to adopt in your own shipping, would make you look very professional indeed.
