I personally never liked painted wood as a decorative item. Being a woodworker I always liked seeing the grain in the finished product, seeing the texture of the tree that this wood was a part of, seeing something that nature created for our use and enjoyment. But everyone's tastes are different, which is a good thing, we like different designs and colors. We want our own look, one that nobody else has. we need to be unique. This is one thing that makes us individuals, we can choose to be different. As people of the "handmade" community, we have the opportunity to create these unique designs for the individual tastes and needs of the public. As usual, I got away from the point of this post. I am starting a new line of painted decor products. First up will be this black frame in the 8x10 size . More colors and styles will be added in the next few days.

Promotion
It's not taking the time to promote, it's making the time to promote. You can make a great product but if shoppers don't know it's there, how are you going to make a sale? Making product and promotion have to work together to get the sales . I'm trying this idea of making time for promotion. I have my products up for sale so now I need to concentrate on getting people to know what I have and where it is . So as much as I like working with wood, I'm leaving my saw alone and I'm going to be hard at work on promotion.
