Just know that you don’t need validation from others because when you have down days, it creates that feeling of not being validated, like the doubts may come and so forth. You’re already validated on your own, gifted and successful. ❤️👏👏👏🙏
I did my first artist alley last week and it was an amazing experience. I live in France, and even tho it was considered a big convention it wasn't as crowed as in your vlog. I'm pretty happy with the money I made, a lot of others vendors came to bought plushies or bucket hat and all my friends stopped at my booth during the weekend to buy somethIng and encourage me. My neck was hurting as hell sunday night but I will repeat all over again if I could. People were so sweet and it definitly set my mind about doing more artist alley in the futur 🥰💜
I'm glad you had a good first artist alley experience! I only vended once at Anime Weekend in Atlanta because it's far away from where I live. But I def agree people were really nice about my plush prices. I also bring my merch back and forth because I don't trust leaving my merch at the con overnight. I love seeing another plush artist on YT and sharing their artist alley experience! I look forward to seeing more!
You’re really aspiring!! I’ve been thinking about doing this for awhile, I’m currently trying to stock up on anime plushies as well, because I’ve been wanting to try this out!💗 thank you for the inspiration, and good luck on your journey!
Beautiful work Melanie. All the best for the future. Can I suggest that as you sell out of items bring others down from the top to display at eye level
as someone who's done cons since 2010, you're doing amazing right from the start! your prices are spot on, and honestly could probs go up another $5-10 all around and still sell out! you have such an amazing variety too, i'm not surprised you had such success!! you're going to have such a wildly different experience from one day markets if you pursue more conventions. you could EASILY sell the Appa for $300. can wait to watch your journey!!! congrats!!!!
aaaaaaa obsessed with your stock !!!!!! valorant , spyfam , pokemon , sanrio , atla !!! i love it all and so glad i found you through this vid , also so happy your first artist alley went well for you ^o^
I am so so happy for you!! Knowing that you’ve worked so hard, until the night😅. It’s so amazing that people came back and that your product got stuck in their head and they had to buy it. love those stories. It’s inspiring because I want to join a convention and it’s hard to figure out how much inventory to bring, but it’s inspiring to make more than enough, also for the next event. 🙃I’m going to follow you and I’m curious about your next steps.
Your work is so cute Congrats for your first alley 🎉 it's would be good if you can make little crow from haikyuu maybe keychain it's would be super cute💕
Wow! That is so awesome! I am so happy for you! I can relate. I have watched a couple of your videos and I admire your skill level. I am now a subbie. I look forward to seeing more of your content I'm the future! Happy Thanksgiving!
This is so cool. I was excited about the idea of becoming a vendor at Sakura con. I sent in the forms but I haven’t heard back if I’m accepted. But I heard a lot of bad things about it. But I love crocheting and I just started this year, back in April.
OMG That's amazing! Congrats! Question: how do the customers reach the plushies that are high up? do you have to go around the table to take the plushies down for customers?
How much time did you need to make all of the plushies? I' m willing to try for the first time that kind of events, but I'm scared that I' don't have enough time to prepare.
What would you recommend making to sell at these that don't violate trademarks etc? Do you find that non-con items sell just as well? I'm considering 2 different artist alleys next year
Yay!! I'm so glad your first artist alley experience was such a positive one. Here's to many more in the future!!
ahh it was so good seeing you Erica 🥺💝thank you!!

I am soooo very proud of you! Keep going and never give up!! You are amazing!💚💚💚
That's so exciting, good for you!
Aw im really glad that your first Artist Ally went super well!~ I always enjoy coming across other artist as well that enjoy making cute things ^^
I'm so happy for you!! This was a very nice video to see🤩
Oh wow. I am so glad for your success. You totally deserve it! I wish you the best in future conventions. 🧡💜
aw congrats! I'm also a crocheter, and I had a similar experience at my first artist alley :) Glad you had such a good experience
I was at the same con with you with crochet plushies. Glad you did well
hello, do you know if the events are juried?
A lot of them sold out in this convention especially,some even made mid 5 figures in profit after selling out inventory! Crazy.
Wow! That is so awesome! I am so happy for you! I can relate. I have watched a couple of your videos and I admire your skill level. I am now a subbie. I look forward to seeing more of your content I'm the future! Happy Thanksgiving!
Im so happy you did well! is it possible for you to tell me where you got the appa pattern? I wanna make one so bad!!!

I do that all the time too! Get off of work to work more, but this time on my business!❤❤❤
OMG That's amazing! Congrats!
Question: how do the customers reach the plushies that are high up? do you have to go around the table to take the plushies down for customers?
OMG everything is so cute, congrats on everything ♥ I wanted to ask if you don’t mind, where are your patternns from? Everything is so cute ☺♥
Just a suggestion, when you're items are running low spread the remaining items out. Put individual price tags on your items.
I'm so happy you did so well! Your display looks so nice!
thank you!! 💖
How much time did you need to make all of the plushies? I' m willing to try for the first time that kind of events, but I'm scared that I' don't have enough time to prepare.
I've noticed with cons most people myself included will save up quite a bit of money to be able to buy something and not really worry about it
Woo! Nice video.
I agree you good girl blessings
What would you recommend making to sell at these that don't violate trademarks etc? Do you find that non-con items sell just as well? I'm considering 2 different artist alleys next year
Hi! Was this an exclusive event, as in were you the only crocheter?
where did you buy the big blue display shelves?
Congrats
this has inspired me to really do a market event of some sort but I'm too scared
haha took off work to work, samee
Where do you find these cons in Atlas?
Hi how are you doing today
P r o m o S M 💕
