What a week!

My head is absolutely spinning after the week I've had this week! It started with going to the markets last Sunday.... now, it was a struggle to get to those markets.... I'd just played in the netball grand final the night before so the last thing I wanted to do was get out of bed at 5am! But I'm so glad I did. :)

I met the most fabulous lady who had the stall next to me... Her name is Lina and she quit her day job and travels around Australia in her caravan with her little dog taking photos and making art. She takes the photo, adds some paint and then prints the final art piece onto handbags and other assorted items. I just love that she can tell you the story behind the picture on each bag and each one is totally unique, so no one else will ever have the same handbag as you. Make sure you check out her website, Travelling Lina... She also has a blog so you can follow her travels around the country.

(I stole this picture from her website, I'm sure she won't mind!)

I left the markets with a few sales and had the chance to meet lots of my customers who I'd only known by name alone before. Although, the owner of a local homewares store, My Sister's House saw me at the markets and told me to come and see her about selling my paintings through her shop... I was super excited as I absolutely LOVE that store! By Wednesday they were up in the store and looking fabulous! I'm so excited to see what this new opportunity brings... my head is spinning with possibilities.

The last bit of exciting news is that I have an interview with the local newspaper tomorrow morning! The reporter saw a link to my art journal class on the Facebook page of someone she knew and thought it looked interesting. I just hope I don't get my words coming out all wrong like I have been lately. :)

Last of all, here is a quick share of some paintings that I've done lately...







Now I really need to get cracking and get more done now after selling about 15 in the last week!

Thanks for stopping by!
