To help protect the corners of large framed pieces, I recommend using cardboard or acrylic corners, available from your frame wholesaler. They come flat and you fold them into whatever thickness you need. Then, to hold the corners in place,…

These will hold a painting up to about four feet in length, and for even larger paintings you can put one on each end and tape them in the middle. They are kind of expensive at the outset since you…

Frame Destination (my company) makes a product called GalleryPouch for transporting large artwork to and from shows. It is a very sturdy high quality encapsulated bubble bag that is designed to be used over and over again due to the cost…

I assume these larger pieces are priced accordingly (i.e. "big moolah"). If so, I assume you will already have self-made or custom wrapping for each individual piece that you use to transport the artworks to the show. If one…

Not sure if this will work for you or not. I use Propay http://propay.com and you have several input options. Low tech, online, knucklebuster - messy and time consuming. They also offer a microsecure card reader - data is encrypted upon swiping and…

Large clear plastic bags. Just like for smaller work but bigger bags. There are a number of places you can get them, usually by the case. You buy bigger than your larger size and use them for everything. As you figure out which size sells the most,…
Wrapping Large Paintings
Hi Everyone, I do oil paintings (many of them large) and intend to do my first Art Fair next week. I've seen some discusions of sending purchased art home in nice professional plastic bags, but this was usually in reference to smaller items. For a large oil painting, let's say 2' x 4' would you just take it off the wall and say "here you go, enjoy!"? If I'm fortunate enough to sell some nice big expensive work, should I offer to wrap it in brown paper or something? Any thoughts would be greatly…See More

I've been using the Intuit service with the card reader/printer device. Can't say enough good stuff about it. Works perfectly with my blackberry. Very easy to use. Prints out a receipt for the customer and one for me to keep with my…

Linda Anderson replied to Ann Steverson's discussion 'smart phone credit card sales'
OOPS - I made a mistake. I have been using my I-Phone with Go Payment for awhile and it works great. The little blue card reader does not work with the I-Phone yet.... but will in the near future. Bummer... I just got today and am waiting until…
