Have been in a good mod since last night. Thanks to an ART TRADE with fellow tumblr member.
What is an ART TRADE?
It's a special request between two artist, trading their artwork. Can be anything as long as both are okay. Commonly seen in tumblr is doodles/drawings that are being used for Art Trade.
Had decided to go for the art trade even though I been holding myself back, as I didn't believe my craft skills are up to standard. You won't know until you tried, ain't it?
Ever since I got in the the craft craft since July 2009, making cards for loved ones for birthdays and anniversary have been a norm for me. Appreciation and praise for the effort put in, as well as the unique design for each card.
In a way, soon I wanted those cards to be more than just a simple gift to my loved ones. I wanted to share my cards, reaching out to more than just those around me.
So, I started to post my cards on facebook. And around september/october poly break, I started to set up tumblr as well as devianART just to share my craftwork.
Even though I had done those with the mindset of wanting to reach out to more people, but I didn't really expect that it would work. Thus, every now and then, I'm pleasantly surprised to see notification of appreciation for all these card I had done.
Due to the Art Trade that I done recently, I had reach out to even more people as the fellow tumblr had posted my craftwork in her tumblr. Can you believe 200% increasement for followers?
And this happy feeling, or maybe I can call this as satisfaction, had been in me since last night ever since I saw how many people had liked my card.
I feel appreciated.
I feel recognised.
And it really boost my confidence about my card making.
And all these had to thank everyone out there.
Internet really do wonders ^^
