My Mosaic

oh sorry to hear @Bow are you doing anything right now or tonight to help yourself get out of that headspace?

haha it's so weird when they ship internationally for an Australian company right! i hope they don't charge you extra international shipping fee for that... woahhh 48 colours!! how long does it take you to complete one of those paintings usually?

Not really @rav3n just staying around the family to help me stay safe

it depends how into it I am. I haven’t done much painting lately. But when I’m really into it I can sit for hours and paint. Could take me a couple of weeks, maybe a bit more. I have to have this one done by a certain date though.

@Bow yeah don't worry I confused myself too! 😅

Ohhhh I LOVE fairy lights!! The big questions tho - colour or white? Warm white like a candle, or cool white like sun glinting off snow? The drippy ones or classic line? Twinkly or static?

.... What do you mean I'm way too interested in fairy lights and the cultivation of a Mood and an Aesthetic by use of light? 😝

Whaaaaaaat that is just honky tonky BONKERS! I had no idea, literally just had the thought 'What will they think of next?' 😂

Now I'm thinking about doing one for my kitties! Do you have the website handy you could share?

You lost me again with fairy lights @Jynx ! lol 😂

I’m looking at getting warm white lights. Little round ball dippy type ones.

oh a kitty painting would be so cute! This is the website here

@Bow thanks!

Ahaha yep, apparently my job tonight is to slightly confuse you!! Can't be as sad if you're too busy being puzzled, right? 😅

Ohhhh like they look like real light bulbs but just mini? I love those ones! Good choice 😊

I wish I knew how to make those folded up paper snowflakes, you know where you fold paper a bunch then cut shapes out then unfold and it's a snowflake? They'd look cool as a bit of decor maybe! I dunno, I'm sure you and your mum have a keen eye for how you set up your stall hehe

Haha true that!

these are the ones I’m looking at getting @Jynx

 it’s a rustic theme, so hessian and wood. Gonna make some Christmas bunting out of all the scrap fabric from the clothes mum makes. Some nice big red Christmas bows.

oh there is a trick to them snowflakes. Where you can and can’t cut- that’s the big secret I think. But I don’t know what it is either!

@Bow yesss love it!! I like a good rustic theme too - and that would suit your art style heaps too!!

Teehee some bows for Bow!! Aww it all sounds so lovely and wholesome, I wish I could see it!!

Hahaha the snowflake secret!! Hmm maybe after I hop off I can go find a youtube tutorial or something!

glad you're around family to stay safe, it's still a really great step @Bow

ohh yep i see, makes sense for it to take a couple weeks to complete! out of curiosity, what got you into art/crafts? were you just always into creative things when you were younger too or is this somewhat of a newer interest?

Yes some bows for Bow!

I will try and take some pics of the set up and the market @Jynx

do you have plans for after you clock off tonight?

It’s just after I tuck my daughter in and go to bed myself that things get a bit tricky @rav3n my meds don’t seem to knock me out as quick as they use to. So I lay awake tossing and turning for ages. That’s when things happen.

I’ve always enjoyed arts and craft. Have always done art at school, even through high school and college, I chose art as an elective when I could. Won some state art awards during high school. As an adult I’ve tried my hand at lots of different arts and crafts. Creativity also runs in my family a bit. My mum was an amazing cake decorator and she still sews (I use to sew clothes for my daughter too but she won’t wear them anymore), I have uncles, aunts and a cousin who all paint. My pop was extremely creative too, painting, drawing, photography and he would make all sorts of things with wood.
