I follow a bunch of people on facebook, youtube, instagram…
various social media. Twitter too but I am rarely on there as much as the
others. I follow a lot of artists and creators in the same trade as me. I like to see what everyone else is up to. Check
out new trends. You know… practice good business. I have two questions. For
those who sculpt and create charms with polymer clay, I see all those videos
with your charm collections and charm updates. What do you do with all those charms
that you have so organized in those
plastic boxes? I love the charm update
videos. I am intrigued by the resin work. I am learning from you. So please…
what do you do with them once you make them? I sell a lot. I turn them into
earrings and necklaces and wear them. My mother wears them. But all I see is
charm collections and resin collections. And Please what do you do with those
resin tiles? 
Second… for those of you who promote on social media (which
lets face it, that’s all of us) what is offsetting about other artists that
makes you unfollow them? I absolutely adore the work of a fellow artist. And I had
to make the call unfollow them because while I follow a lot of people on
instagram, my entire news feed was completely filled with them reposting the
same picture over and over. Now I know what you are thinking… computer glitch? No.
these were posted throughout the day, with different captions and different
tags. They filled my instagram. And my facebook. I had to search to find other
images. After a just 2 days of this I couldn’t follow this person anymore. I
completely admire their work. I will look them up on youtube once in a while
but is this extreme? What makes you follow or unfollow an artist? What makes
you click that button to start with? What cross the line?
If you can answer one or both of these questions please
leave a comment.
