Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

Our country market that we have on Saturday is actually at a country school @tyme so there are stalls spread throughout the undercover areas and then there is a big grass area outside where there are rows and rows of stalls. About 150 stalls all together.

our other regular market is in town and they shut down a street and there are stalls down both sides of the road and then into the carpark.

the market on Sunday that we are doing is a yearly council ran festival. We haven’t done this one before, but prior to covid, it was a pretty big community event. It actually runs over 2 weeks, carnivals, fun runs, art shows, fire works. They use to do a street parade but they haven’t done that for years.

Good afternoon! @Bow

What is your favourite cordial flavour? 😍

Hmm, I wonder if we can do water check-ins? Because I absolutely need an accountability buddy!

I am glad you are exploring movement throughout your day. I was thinking that noting down when you have energy/what you're doing could be helpful - to see if there's a pattern. ☺️

I seriously love Alice in Wonderland. I know you do too!

Some extra income and the celebration of your art must feel really rewarding.

What do you love most about markets? 🤩

Re: My Mosaic

Hi @AuntGlow

My go to flavor is apple and blackcurrant. But I also really like bickfords mango and coconut cordial in some lemonade- a nice little treat.
Sure we can do water check ins. That could be really helpful I think.

yeah maybe I could track my energy and see where things are. I use to use a bullet journal @AuntGlow which was great for all of that stuff. But like any journal, it fell away. But i did stick with it for a while though.

I’ll have to take some up to date photos of my Alice collections. Do you collect anything?


yeah a little extra money certainly helps. DSP doesn’t go very far unfortunately. I often have a moment where I stop and think… people spend their money to have my art work. Little wow moments. I had a lady cry once. And I do love returning customers.

I pulled all my stock out today, redid some labels and packed ready for Saturday. Took a couple of photos

 

 

I really do love the uniqueness of the markets we do. Cause they are mostly handmade you know it’s different. And I guess cause I know this is true for me, it’s true for other marketers

 

how was your day?

Re: My Mosaic

Coolies! Are you making the bottles for someone? Or just to sell? Do you buy the templates for the cricut? I don't generally buy the templates. I just use what's there. But then again, I haven't been very creative with mine @Bow

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

No these are for us @tyme ! We are going on a Disney cruise at the end of the year!

while I’m using the cricut a lot I’m paying for the subscription. Not sure I’ll keep doing it though. I also make a lot of things myself. Just search on Pinterest for images. Lots of FB groups too with free svg images

this one was mostly made but it wasn’t very clear or clean, so erased a heap of stuff and then found other images to replace them.

just lots of playing around

Re: My Mosaic

Tell me how @Bow ! I honestly haven't even looked into it.

So are you saying, you can look images up on pinterest, then save it in a certain file, then use it?

Sorry I'm so backward.

I've got the design app on my ipad. So now what?
