I've got an actually great problem that I can't wait to solve! I have signed up for a market stall for a month starting April 25th, and ideally....I'm hoping to stretch it past three or four months! I've seen a lot of content recently about shedding past selves to become the real version of you, and it'll feel uncomfortable, but maybe I am stepping into something. My original art prints probably won't be ready in the first month, but in the meantime and also enjoyment for me, I make trading card alters. Border extensions on existing artwork on cards. It's really fun for me. I also put together a small (large in exercises) course the other night, with the help of ChatGPT, to teach myself and others through colour theory with the Munsell Colour System (specifically in a trading card alterist relevant way). I'm at a great place, but it's a problem for the market stall because I don't have a lot of inventory (the art prints issue, and slow painting sometimes). BUT I also make and sell beaded pens which is a pen with fancy beads on it and they're super cute and I make them when I need mindless stuff to do with my hands. I'm really hoping to participate in and enjoy this community too! Oftentimes what interrupts me from my creative work is the fact that I go looking online for something social....social media, content for noise or to keep me moving forward instead of stuck on loops in my head, small conversations with anyone who basically will just randomly chat with someone else these days online...that sort of thing. I need to focus at this time, but I don't want to give up whimsy or life humour either. Anyway, I really just wanted to say all that and I'm super happy to be here that I was able to find my way!
