I've been rather neglectful of my blog again, but surprisingly enough the past few days have been busy. I don't do normal fun stuff like other people do on their holiday, but I've been working on a few projects. I spent Sunday (or was it Saturday) sewing a Kimono for my sister, gold silk with a floral print stitched in pastel pinks and greens. I still need a contrasting silk to make the collar and front paneling. I'm a little indecisive about what would look best. I've also been working on some t-shirt designs I hope to start printing using the tutorial I linked in a post at the start of last month; diy screen printing
And after that painting commission I got (which felt pretty good to get paid for art, for the first time ever!) I've been doing research on how to sell art and other arty type things. If I find anything really useful I'll make sure to link it so others can use it too. But so far I think local artist markets might be the way to go, just need to keep an eye out for them.
I've also been doing different form of research to inspire my art to get new ideas. I've been studying local street art, researching lifestyle habits from about 50 years ago, listening to new music etc. Hopefully all these things will help me produce some really good art and even help me develop/discover a new personal style.
