Nixinixi and myself did it on blogger or blogspot.com
(Not sure about Munchki)

Are you joining us Saucy?

I may do. Although I wouldn't have a clue what to write...I can dribble for England, but writing people actually want to read? No chance, lol!

Lol! I think (from my long experience of two whole days) that you just have to be yourself and write from the heart. Personally those are the blogs I like to read, although I don't really follow any religiously. That may change now

yay more new blogs I also started one last month because of this thread! Its on my profile... but I have no idea how to link to other blogs - i'm still learning what to do with it... and erm... well trying to update it regularly..

(thanks for the nudge Sparks )


But anyway, if you all figure out how to do it let me know and i'll link to all of yours too... although (excuse the ignorance) what does the linking actually do exactly?

well done to the £1k bingo winner! and congrats to OH saucy! good luck munchki on the job front! Cally get well soon!

I am loving reading this thread, nearly every day. It brightens my day and fills me with hope.

I'm nbot officially contributing, as with my health at the moment, it's a rare day when I am able to do extras, BUT I ma sitll thinking of what I COULD do.

I was wondering, I have done a couple of paintings recently for friends. My most succesful was a protrait of my friend's dog. Lots of folks are saying I should get into doing animal portraits, which I am contemplating.

What I'm wondering is:
a) is there a market for such a thing
b) what people would be willing to pay (again, is it viable)

The paintings would probably be 12x10 boxed canvas, done in acrylics. Any animal lovers here want to give me their opinion?

Ta dribblers.

Thank you

Links let people click between blogs, and make your blog higher up on search results. Sorry if that was really obvious

We paid £65 for a painting of our dog...it was pretty rubbish, too. But I was too shy not to pay, lol. There's definitely a market, I think.

Thanks Saucy. I was thinking £60-70 based on the amount of hours it took, but wondered if people would pay that, glad to know it's not a ridiculous amount.

Sorry your pic didn't turn out as you hoped. But I know how it is to feel too shy to say something, LOl i struggle to return things.

This is the painting I did for my friend of ehr doggy:

Oh wow, that is amazing!!

Definately set that up. Tonight!! You'll make a fortune.

My poor dog had an ear missing (he's a cavalier king charles so it was hard to miss!) and was the wrong colour, and it was no where near as good as that.
