Giving Art for the Holidays?

by WS

Dec 13, 2012

Anyone giving art (your own or someone else's) for holiday presents? (Solstice, Hannuhkah, New Years, Christmas, Kwanzaa, etc.)  I tithe to the arts, but it also seems like the perfect chance to give art. It doesn't have to be your own art - and when you give art you can be supporting fellow artists.  Anyone a member of art websites where they sell and can buy others' art? Share your experiences with us. I'm on a couple, but haven't listed my work. Are you having success with online sites? Do you worry about people stealing your images? Do tell!

    My mother wanted a new flower pot and my daughter asked for two dog bowls for her new dog so yes I am giving art for Xmas. Some times I buy other artists art to give as gifts.

        I can now report that I gave some of my art as a gift for the holidays. I had mugs and calendars done with some of my drawings (and also old family photographs.) I think it worked pretty well. I couldn't mention these before because I have relatives on this site, but I think the gifts were appreciated. They looked nice and professional because I had them done by one of those print companies. I also did hats, but those fall under crafts and I will post some of them to the group Creative Outlets." Below is one of the images. (There were 12 - one for each month of the wall calendar.) These are my male relatives: grand fathers, nephews, father etc.
