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.
Wrapping Part 1
Wrapping Part 2
I am South Australian artist, writer and online video producer, David Arandle, working under the pseudonym, 'The Extraordinary Tourist' or 'TET' for short. I have been working as a freelance artist/designer and selling my own artwork since 1995. Over the course of my career I've found myself offering a lot of Art Business advice based on my own experiences - hence this blog is a collection of articles, videos and more that I have created over the years. I hope you find what I've learned useful.
