I have a problem....

Picture
But not all problems are bad ones. The problem is that my sea glass greeting cards are becoming more and more popular! That's definitely a good problem to have. The downside to it is I can't seem to get ahead of the game. I am currently down to 6 cards - that's unheard of for me! So I'm busy creating new cards daily just to try to keep stock at my Friday Market display. No sooner do I get a bunch made and they are gone again. We're in the middle of the busy season so I am busy, busy, busy creating.

I have people who love my work so they bring their friends over to see it and so of course this helps to introduce me to new people. I've had lots of people stopping by to tell me that they've taken the cards home and framed them; or they give them to friends back home who are just thrilled with my creations. I love hearing these stories! 

About mid March things will start to slow down I stop doing the Friday Market. I will focus my summer, slow season, to creating a BIG supply of cards to hopefully keep me in better shape for next season. Since I now have an abundance of sea shells I'm going to start incorporating more shells with my sea glass creations. I will have to go surf the web for inspiring ideas. 

At the same time I will have to replenish my sea glass Christmas tree supply as I sell out of them before Christmas each year. I have a few new tree ideas I want to try that will include making some with sea shells and making some with sea shells that have holes in them and I'm planning to put a piece of glass in the hole. Imagine how pretty that's going to look with lights inside it.

    Who knew there was an artist lurking within? Certainly not me.

    It started with my Mom giving me some paints that she wasn’t using but I never did anything with them because “I wasn’t artistic” - according to myself. We really need to learn to have a kinder inner voice because I have discovered that apparently I am artistic.
     
    In early 2018 I was introduced to an artist on Instagram ​from Australia who makes the most beautiful art. I looked at it and was truly inspired. I thought how hard can it be to put dots on some rocks. I had never felt that I was artistic at all but this woman has changed me forever! So I began and since that time I have started following even more rock artists to inspire me.

    In late 2019 my sister in law introduced me to another Instagram person who creates coloring books. Drawing is another thing I said I could never do but thanks to the inspiration I am receiving from this woman and through various social media sources I have discovered that I actually can draw.
     
    So the lesson is....you never really know what you are capable of until you actually try it! Never say never, I can’t etc. to yourself. Obviously I have to change my words and thoughts from - "I'm not artistic" and "I can't draw" to.....
    ​"Cool something new! Let's give it a try and see where it goes!" And now when people ask me what I do I say - I am an Artist!
     
    I look forward to expanding my creativity. Thank you for your interest and support.
