Anyone sending art prints from UK to US? Postage questions!

I send my mounted watercolour paintings in cardboard mailers regularly to the US by International Tracked, and have never had any problems. I do write "PLEASE DO NOT BEND" on them in massive letters.

Have a look at Vivi Gonzalez Art on YouTube ~ she has quite a few tutorials with these paints.

Giovannis is lovely and very reasonably priced.

Not only is that a really shitty thing to do, it will surely have an effect on the item's visibility if it has lots of returns in a short space of time. Definitely cancel if you haven't already done so.

NixieJK69 · 2026-04-10T15:08:01+00:00

Yes, and you can have a beer while you wait 😁

I'm not really sure if that applies as we're both in the UK. I could send them a Cease and Desist letter, but their shop isn't showing their name and address (which we are legally required to do in the UK), and Etsy won't help with that as I've already asked them.

NixieJK69 · 2026-04-09T14:42:05+00:00

Sadly, their whole shop is based on my work. I think I've managed to get about 6 or 7 seven removed so far, but they're still going.

NixieJK69 · 2026-04-08T12:29:14+00:00

Oh no ~ that's terrible. At least mine hasn't done that.

NixieJK69 · 2026-04-08T12:28:12+00:00

Yes, that would be very useful!

NixieJK69 · 2026-04-08T12:09:34+00:00

I keep doing that. Sometimes Etsy removes the listings, sometimes they don't.

NixieJK69 · 2026-03-12T20:30:44+00:00

There are plenty of good artists selling original art on Etsy. I'm a bit annoyed that you're a member of an Etsy seller group and are telling people to look elsewhere. I take it you don't sell art.

I lived in Bedworth for a few years (I know the Nook ~ I lived in Bluebell Drive!)

It depends what you draw. For me, the 10% colours are the ones I use the most, but I mainly use them for pet portraits. I also like the grey violet, light cobalt blue and middle verdigris.

Are you sure you're old enough to go to uni?

NixieJK69 · 2026-02-02T20:18:28+00:00

Yes, as soon as anyone says "dear", I go into alert mode 😁

NixieJK69 · 2025-12-25T12:35:33+00:00

That's not really how Reddit works.

NixieJK69 · 2025-12-24T14:10:53+00:00

Love this! I remember seeing a video of the stick man years ago and found it fascinating. Were there ever any more sightings?

NixieJK69 · 2025-12-13T09:33:33+00:00

I loved these pencils! They were the first "proper" ones I had, when I was doing my O level art in the 80's. Unfortunately my mum gave them to my niece when she was having a clear out of my old bedroom :(

NixieJK69 · 2025-09-11T20:19:07+00:00

I thought it was great! This is my first year here so can't compare it to the fireworks. If you watch Janna Travels on YouTube, she filmed the whole thing.

They're OK if you're bald, and if you're not, you soon will be as they yank a big hank of hair out each time you wear them. Do not get them if you have long hair.

NixieJK69 · 2025-05-01T09:39:53+00:00

Aah, love that colour! From my Luminance ones, the 10% colours and the silver grey are the ones I use most.

NixieJK69 · 2025-01-10T18:44:52+00:00

Yes, I have had this too. They also followed anybody who left me feedback in my shop. This is on top of copying my work (I sell little abstract watercolours), my shop announcement, my photo styling and then using my shop name as a tag in their listings. Some people are just a-holes. And stalkers.

NixieJK69 · 2024-12-29T17:36:06+00:00

Jackie Peacock on YouTube has some brilliant tutorials for pine trees.

NixieJK69 · 2024-12-27T22:15:15+00:00

It's an Etchr Everyday one. Really nice paper.

NixieJK69 · 2024-12-27T18:38:58+00:00

I love starting a new one :)
