Hi Heather,
i do paintings, watercolours, oils, acrylics, oil pastels, soft pastels, and have just started with encaustics ( bees wax) ... I like to learn! and play. but have to find the money each time i want to do something new so that limits what i do :cry: :cry: I'd love to try glass blowing, stained glass, woodcarving, sculpture - there's so many things to do!

I'm just having a look at your gallery - one quick point , you need to resize your photo on front page, all the text is going offscreen unless i scroll down - i thought it was still loading til i realised that and it might put off potential customers, they can be impatient so we need to make it easy for them to navigate our sites :)


had a better look, i love your vases, you might want to mention what size they are? back to those customers again - they like info....never knew what lampwork was - they'd make interesting and unusual gifts -i tried to see your stained glass, but for some reason none of your images come large when you click on them? it might be something to do with the size of your photo, in my gallery when i click on an image i get a larger one.

see http://www.jeanniezelosart.co.uk/landscape/
if you click on any of them it brings up a large image, with your stained glass it would be good to see the detail. If you're stuck ask admin, theya re very good - best to email direct not via the forum - quicker response.

best of luck for sales :D

Hi Heather

I've just used your link to look at your work. Each piece that you do is so unique and really good. I'm so pleased that you enjoy your work it looks like real good fun. :D

All the best in everything you do.

Hi Heather

Looks like interesting work. I originally trained in theatre where I gained a variety of skills including blacksmithing but alas no glass blowing.

Is it the type of thing you can do in a day class, I'd love to try it.

Helen
