Welcome to my blog! Here I will post some short and sweet updates about what’s happening!
New Developments!
Hey hey lovely people!
Just adding in a quick blog post to say thank you so much for the support so far! I have officially signed myself up to sell at four different markets coming up! The details of all of these can be seen in my events page! I have also applied to vend at quite a few holiday markets, though the really big ones apparently have had their applications closed since before I started! I would be most excited to be accepted to the Boston Women’s Mart Armory Holiday market as I have been there as a guest before and it was lovely!
I have added stickers and my gachapon spin to my website and am working on fine tuning my bookmarks as some of the painting has gone… a bit awry. I need to work out the best method to make sure it is neat and tidy! I’m actually going to try and engrave them inverse today and see if that works any better!
I’m so excited to continue on this venture, though I do wish my online sales were a tad more robust! I’m hoping as I expand the types of products I create I can lure in some new customers.
If you like stickers please consider buying a sticker (or three) from me~
As always! My work is NOT made in any way by AI and it is all hand drawn by me. I manipulate my art files to get them to be friends with my laser machines and then I cut them out and assemble by hand! I love what I make and I hope others do too.
I do know that a lot of my designs are very “in your face” statement pieces, but that is just kind of my design style! I’m hoping to find my people who love it so please share my stuff with your friends who are into the louder style. That being said, I have also recently added some more… subtle designs. My Zen Ferns, Flower Swirly, Floral Snakes, Little Lightning, and Little star designs are a lot… calmer!
That’s it for now! Thank you for reading!
Getting Up and Running…
Hello and welcome!!!
I'm SO SO ecstatic to be here!!! I can’t believe I’m finally actually doing this. I have dabbled in using artmaking to turn a profit in the past with my handmade dice business (DreamSeekerDice) which I LOVED doing and actually became quite successful at! The time required, however, is a bit prohibitive as a mother to a 16 month old who is now seemingly trying to destroy everything she touches. Please help.
The dice making business was beautiful and nerdy and fun but also had a lot of time-consuming elements such as hand sanding 20 tiny sides of a die using 6 different grits of sandpaper and polish papers…. yeah…. It took….. a long time. Additionally, there were some danger and mess aspects of dice making that really took a toll on me. Resin work creates terrible fumes and I needed to work with a respirator and a window open. I also had to work quickly with a lot of bending over and fine motor work that had become pretty tough on my fingers. I am still down to make a set of dice if someone really wants me too but the work ethic has faded on that venture.
In any case. That has led me HERE. Another artistic outlet where I can use my creativity to hopefully help create some extra income and combine it with my crafty tendencies! I have- what I think- is a pretty unique art style so I’m hoping others like it too!
importantly: all of my designs are hand drawn by me and I NEVER use AI to design.
With that being said, I do use a lot of tech within my design and creation process! I do sublimation products, and laser cut/engraved products! I have a sublimation oven, a heat press, and a laser cutting/engraving machine at my disposal and the tech savyness to get my art onto/into those machines. Though… I still do fight with my sublimation printer… because printers are from the seventh circle of hell lest you forget.
I hope to have some products on here soon and I’ll send out an email to anyone who has signed up for the email list when I do! I will also include a really awesome discount within that email list so please consider putting your details down there! Note that so my art does not get stolen, I will be using watermarked images when I am selling just files of my art! If you order one of those have faith that I will send you the un-watermarked version!
I love you thank you for being here!
