Important BEE Team Announcement

kbean — Mon, 24 May 2010 14:00:17 +0000

I am sorry to announce that due to lack of interest and participation, the BEE Team is officially closing its doors. The website will remain up for a couple weeks, so make sure to glean everything you can from that resource before it disappears! The facebook group will stick around, so please continue to connect that way.

It has been a pleasure serving as your leader and getting to know more about you all. Keep spreading the love for encaustic and all things wax!

Thanks,

Kathryn Dart

Announcements:

1. Spring is Here!

With spring comes new life and rejuvenation, and hopefully, a new source of creativity! How has spring inspired you? Share with us what you’re working on here in the forums.

2. Let’s Get Buzzing!

A hive of bees can’t function without all its members! Last week our meeting was canceled due to lack of attendance. Let’s get this team back up to speed by buzzing with participation. Hang out in the forums, contribute and article to the blog, brainstorm event ideas, add your buzz to the mix by commenting on the website, or volunteer your time to help out the team. These are just a few ways you can contribute. Email info@beeswaxteam.com if you have any ideas!

Thanks,

Kathryn and Melissa

1. Marketing your art in a tough economy:

What networking and marketing tools do you use to promote your artwork? Flickr, Twitter, Facebook? How do you get your work out there and sold in a tough economy? Have you ever wondered if having a Ning account will help you at all? (or don’t have a clue what that is?)

If you have questions and thoughts for us on this topic, we want to hear from you! You can respond directly to this email, or join us in our team forum here. We’ll put together a series of helpful podcasts on building up a web presence / marketing tips based on what you said + things we have found to be helpful. Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you!

2. Object Challenge results:

Be on the lookout for a post soon about the BEE team’s summer Object Challenge results! Thanks again to all who participated!

Summer heat and melted beeswax,

Shannon, Kathryn and Melissa
