I am struggling this year for the holidays to give out gifts. I am offerings handmade gifts. Lanyards, 5x 7 zipper pouches, tote bags, plastic bag dispenser, scrunchies, and other small gifts.
I am also listing my wish list from Amazon for people who wants to buy my gifts: My Wish List.
I made a bunch of lanyards. I have a few left but most are gone. I also made some trivets/potholders. This things from above some were requested and some no one care about. I am done with the gift giving. Now it’s time for resolutions.
Resolutions. I don’t know if there are resolutions but plans for the new year. I want to start my material inventory for COG calculations. I need to start my inventory to sell. I am joining a couple of galleries to sell my art work and create monthly for that inventory. I think it is time to create another passive income with art listening. Let companies borrow my art for reproduction. Get my bookkeeping on track and file taxes. Finally, I want this year to push me into a person who can be self-sufficient with my income.
I know that this sounds ambitious but I also need to write a business plan to make it start happening. It is time to stop playing around with starting a biz and actually do it. I am 52 and if I don’t make this happen now, I never will. I have been getting emotional support from my friends and family but people that isn’t enough. People don’t realize that as a collective, we should all support small biz and all the people we already know. That’s how the rich do it. They invest in each other to help themselves grow. We should do the same. Now that’s a resolution, support all the artists that I know physically by going to shows and financially even if it is something small that I buy.
Hello. I was in an exhibition: Tracing Treads on at Redline Contemporary Art Center. I am also at Artlifting.com. I am sell some of my products on my products page. So I am also doing youth art mentoring to give a space for the young minds. I am trying to leave myself open for commission works too.
I am making art for myself and for Artlifing. I also make hand made goods for sale which is also part of my creative process. I sew pouches, tote bags, and refashion clothing. I make pendants and stretch bracelets. I do my best at keeping up with inventory. Feel free to contact me with specific work.
I come from the unhoused community and give back to them in multiple ways. I sit on panels and boards to provide my expertise. I also advocate in other ways because my people need their voice heard. I have been on a podcast from Elevated Denver to help them with their work and share stories. they are a non-profit and could benefit from you donations.
I have started upcycling items and want to create new items to wear too! I have that round area on my belly (muffin top/love handles). I want to cover mine up.
I think it is time to start making my own clothes and spending more time doing things for myself. I believe this is not self-preservation but self-care. I want to play games online and upload them plus find time to travel. How does everyone do it all.
Please tell what you think about this vest, making your own upcycled clothes, and doing things for self-care.
I worked one day in the Five Points (now Rhino District). I sold one bracelet to a fellow artist. I really enjoyed the environment and how large the event was. We (Redline) were further to the back of the event. I loved the I saw RTD and SCFD.
Here are some of the things that I had for sale:
I had multiple types of pouches for sell. If you would like to see the all click the link below.
This is Juneteenth Tote. These were made for this specific event. They are as large as my grocery totes. They are 18 inches both ways. I love these for everything.
I wanted to sell more but I use public transportation. I also have a grandma cart that I carried everything in it and I had to drag it back home too. I felt privileged to have work there and I am glad that I am able to start selling things that help me through life’s trauma.
“Helping the people on the streets and seeing myself in them, really helped me keep going.” -Lucky
It’s that time again, folks! We have a new episode ready for your listening pleasure. Tune into Season 2 Episode 9 “Lucky’s Journey.” We are leaning into what we do best: carving out space for people to share their stories. In this episode, we interviewed Lucky, a resident of the Safe Outdoor Space run by Colorado Village Collaborative. Lucky describes his journey into homelessness, struggling with epilepsy and job loss, and his plans for the future. He shares why he chose the name “Lucky” and how he developed a community during his time living in the S.O.S.
“Human contact and keeping a relationship going as a friend is very important to the people living alone and living in alleys and everything because they’ve been left behind.”
Please listen to Lucky’s episode, rate it, and share. We need your help to make sure as many people tune in as possible because we believe these stories humanize homelessness and drive change. We also need help crossing the finish line with Season 2. We want to bring you episodes on Veteran homelessness, evictions, program bright spots, and an update on the housing and homelessness system. Please consider donating to our fundraising campaign and sharing with others. As you know, we currently volunteer our time, but we do compensate our interviewees with a gift card, pay for the use of the podcast studio, and pay our Peer Producer and Editor. Every $25 helps tremendously and right now we have TWO generous (anonymous) donors offering matching funds, up to $3,500. Thank you in advance for supporting our work and believing in the power of storytelling!
This is an 8 x 10 mixed-media piece. It has hidden motivational quotes to remind me that I can motivate and choose my mood. I started focusing on the words and thought they needed to be accented but I realize that I am in the control. I was feeling abstract when using my turquoise paint. Finishing this piece gave me confidence. This piece has sold!
Moody Funk
This is a 5 x 7overlay of mixed acrylics. I felt like I was tippy-toeing around with the dots. Then I started my funky movement. I then when back with different shades of turquoise. I finalized it with gold accents.
Eggnesty Mood
My favorite size is 11×14, this one has acrylic. I started with colors that may have been used for this series. I change shades as I progressed through the background. I realize that I wanted to create an oval-like shape. I also wanted to tie in some gold. This reminds me of eggs in a nest.
So, I am learning as a new biz owner, there is a lot to learn. I like selling my therapeutic crafts and seeing where this leads me. I just got a brand-new, to me, sewing machine. It is a Bernina B535. Now I have to insure my biz items, organize my files, and start planning to get my things in order. I probably need bookkeeping software too. I do know that I can do this as a micro/ mini business. I think this may keep me afloat while I get organized.
If you have comments about what you think I should do leave them down below. Also, if you are creative and would love to talk about creativity and its therapeutic values. Comment below and thanks for reading.
