Fairywren on Etsy

Fairywren is me! Woo!

So I finally listed some of my cards:


Please go have a look and tell your friends!

My next big challenge is to get the word out there and let people know what I do, so if you have any free marketing suggestions it would be much appreciated!

What a wonderful message

Yes yes yes"i really think that we create our own thoughts, and we can create new habits for ourselves with repetition. this print is a visual interpretation of this idea-- we can create more positivity and abundance in our lives by simply changing our thought patterns!"

More cards

Another Live with Love one... I just love these words because that's how I want to live my life! This is for some friends who are getting married this Saturday (and I'm doing the wedding makeup, yay!).

This one is for my mum, who said that being authentic was really important to her this year. I wasn't sure if I should do 'authentic' or 'authenticity' or 'I am always authentic' or something like that, but I liked it as this form of the word, so it is seen as more of a value or quality. I do have ideas to make more personal values cards, as that's what we've been working with in class, and just, everyone has different values so is going to connect with different cards, what is right for me is not necessarily right for everyone. One that I would like to make soon (even just for myself) is Integrity.
I also really like how simple this one is too, I need to remember that simple can still be effective.

And this card is for someone special! I just used rub-on transfers for this one and I love how simple it is. I'm really proud of myself for actually making this one so quickly, I had the idea on Monday night and made it on Tuesday! I'm impressed I'm actually creating more now instead of just talking about it!

I made another card tonight for a friend but haven't photographed it yet. I will get it up in the next few days!

Also my spinach got a bit squashed in all this rain before I could bring it undercover... it was doing so well! I just can't wait for it to get sunny again so it can keep growing and get strong again!

Scared

So I've been thinking more and more about trying to sell some of my affirmation cards on Etsy.
I'm getting closer and closer to doing it, and am trying to find out more about how I would go about it, but I'm so scared that there's no room for my art. That it's already been done. So scared that I want to do something big but no one else will see it that way. I've found so much pretty stuff on Etsy and I just don't know how I would get noticed, and it stops me from even starting. Blah.

I have found some great inspirational stuff on Etsy, very exciting but also I worry that it means potential competition for me!This is a beautiful print by Kelly Rae Roberts I might treat myself to. Ok wait I just noticed shipping is $25, damn. I cannot justify US$50 for a print. Sigh. I'll just keep admiring it here on my blog.

She does have a book though which I have decided is on my birthday list, Taking Flight. This one may be affordable.

Also on my birthday list is the book Walking in this World and a wooden spoon. For cooking. We don't have one.
