Week One

The first seven days of my 30-day art series are in the books! This week has been SO FUN and was all about learning to manage my time properly, the right scale for one-day projects, and how to make engaging social media content. I am really enjoying this series for many reasons; it gives me a purpose and something to strive for daily during this chapter of stillness in my post-grad life, I have used up a lot of supplies so far that I had been hoping to use for a few years, and I get to interact daily with the online world.

This week, I made the following:

Day 1: Abstract Painting (to dust off the gears)

Day 2: A Furniture Flip

Day 3: A pixelated Lava Lamp Painting

Day 4: Polymer Clay Earrings

Day 5: Necklaces

Day 6: Earrings for Pop-Up Shop

Day 7: Macrame Wall Hanging

I also participated in my first in-person pop-up shop which was just an incredible time! I got to meet so many people and talk to them about my art. I felt so alive and full of love - I can’t wait to do another one someday soon!

Having just gotten started, I have been blown away by the orders this week! here’s what has sold so far 

  • 39 pairs of earrings 

  • 5 necklaces 

  • 3 crocheted tote bags 

  • 3 rings 

  • 2 water bottle holders 

  • 2 key rings 

  • 2 pumpkins (yes, I STILL have crocheted pumpkins iykyk)

  • 2 water bottle holders 

  • 1 painting 

  • 1 print

  • 1 jewelry tray 

I’ve learned a TON so far, like what is an appropriate scale for a project to complete in one day, that there’s no need to panic because it will get done, and even with a pre-existing plan, new ideas will come to you multiple times a day. I’ve also been reminded of how enjoyable experimentation is, and I can’t wait to keep expanding it! 

cheers to week one 🎉
