It has been on the cards for a long time but the time has come when my family is moving out of the family home and down to the New Forest; so I am busy trying to pack up my room with piles of stuff everywhere surrounding me I feel a little overwhelmed!No arty stuff has been created this week as a result but this is a commission from last week: For the lovely Rachel of her sister and her partner for their wedding present!I'm off to Venice on Saturday I have a lot going on at the moment but hoping that I will come back very inspired ready for lots of new creations.

Busy doing new commissions, I can't upload all of them as some are for valentines day tomorrow!
Had another good Biscotti networking meeting this morning and may have my work becoming a little international. I will hopefully have more exciting news on this soon very early days at the moment. Watch out for more card designs as well as finally got my own Bernina wooh! Here's one of my new commissions: It's already Febuary! Where did January go? It's cold and frosty outside so I'm spending time creating new products for my shops. I now have a etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/SarahMichellePaints and a folksy shop http://folksy.com/shops/Smhpaints I also had the fabulous experience of having a boudoir shoot with the amazing photographer _Rosie Hardy! It was so lovely to see somebody around my age doing so well working for themselves it has spurred me on to try really hard. So keep checking back lots of new stuff to be added soon fingers crossed. A few more commissions coming through as well! Almost didn't have time to squeeze in a blog this week but refuse to break my resolution especially so early on! Been a busy week although not much of it has been creative which has been frustrating planning on doing so much, then life gets in the way. But have got a new deal on Gumtree so fingers crossed more commissions to come plus , got some exciting personal things to come including a photo shoot with Rosie Hardy yey! Also finished a commission of my Godmother's parents that I was pleased with Hopefully I will have a lot more creative stuff to show next week and more exciting stories to tell! On the hunt for a sewing machine as well, fingers crossed I will find one!!
It has been a stressful week with a lot going on but keeping my new years resolution of at least one blog a week! In the past week I have kept on with my stitching and have been inspired by the Queen's upcoming Jubilee and the Olympics. So I have started to create a patriotic Rule Britannia range. I also like most girls have a love for shoes so I am starting another range of cards inspired by shoes. First wellies but more heels will be coming. Lots more exciting stuff happening as well I'm opening some online stores and I have another Gumtree Daily Deals on the way in the next week or so I will keep everyone updated but in the time being better get back to it!
I attended a Biscotti business networking meeting yesterday morning and agreed that I would be consistent with writing at least one blog a week so that starts today!I've had a busy end of year with my gumtree daily deals providingme with a lot of new commissions that have been really well received which is lovely to get feedback from, people being really touched by my paintings which I think is what all artists want.New Year lots of things changing I have a move to contend with and trying to expand my repertoire of work.
I want to get into a more design area with my cards and tap into a little more freelance work I will update on that when I have done it! Anyway better get back to work but here's a little sneak peek at some new card designs I have been working on. First chance I've had to write a blog I've had a really busy time since my Gumtree Daily Deals busy painting away.
Will hopefully get more of a chance to get more of a variety of work done, I'm working on some more stitching designs. Will try and keep this blog updated as much as possible. |
