In this video I’m taking you along for the very real, very unglamorous part of running my little art small biz: logistics and packing my first orders. It’s basically a few different packing days stitched together—labeling, organizing, figuring out what actually makes sense to batch, and getting into that rhythm where you’re like “ok wait… I can do this.” I also share a couple studio moments (including a minor studio accident… rip) and some quick behind-the-scenes updates as I prep everything to ship. I also show my new PC (Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x—this part is sponsored), and talk through why it’s been helpful for my workflow while I’m juggling studio sessions, admin, and planning future drops. Between packing day 1, day 2, and the last batch on day 3, you’ll see how I’m thinking about small business “investments,” what I’m prioritizing to keep orders moving, and how I’m balancing work with little life moments—like a virtual chat, ceramics pickups, and a chatty rundown of the drop. If you’re an artist trying to ship your own work, I hope this feels like a cozy, honest peek at what it actually looks like.
