As the schools go back and I can start working longer hours on things I am starting to think about the release of my first 'Fine Art' piece. I am pondering the name of the piece. How important is a name? Is something likely to sell better if it has a name or will it be fine just being itself? Could a bad name actually reduce the perceived value of the piece? I give all my Hardanger patterns girl's names. This started after I created my first big piece 'Emmanuelle'. I spent ages trying to think of a good name for it but everything just sounded trite so I gave it the name of the person who I had created it for. I like giving them girl's names now as it gives them a sort of personality for me. It can take long enough working out which name to give them as it is.
I may carry on with the tradition and give the Art pieces girl's names too. It's going to take some thought.

My mother is a painter, and she says that she once saw a client mentally add £100 to the price when she told them the name. They bought it, too!
I think names are worth getting right...
That's interesting, thanks! I really must think of a name for this one.
