We Have A Name!!!

After one long night up researching words and various goddesses, my godfamily and I finally have a name for our new arts enterprise. . . .

So now that we have a name, all that is left is to get some work together and move into our new space.  : )  I am very excited to finally be able to get back to my artistic roots and launch this business.  And, on the plus side, I have my family right by my side cheering me on, and holding me accountable (which for me will be very helpful in keeping me motivated to get things done).

 

We will have a blog space for Dandy Doodads, which I will share with you once we get it up and running.  I will also be creating a page on here to display some of our work and link you guys over to that blog.

 

 

Now, if I can just remember where I left my sketch book. . . . .

Funkie Junk Artist Mall and Other Consignment Outlets

So I was recently approached by my godmother about starting an arts enterprise with her and my godsisters.

Of course, as you all know, I am going to be creating fiber crafts such as painted silk scarves and sun catchers, embroidered bookmarks and key-chains, and maybe even some handbags.  I have also thought about dabbling in the paper arts (hand-painted stationary and cards).  After all, paper is made from fibers.  : )

My godmother, Robin, will be creating yard art and windowpane shelving units from repurposed items such as wood pallets and old dishware.  Creating new from old and giving new life to otherwise disregarded items.

One of my godsisters, Samantha, who is a chef, will be making homemade sauces, rubs, marinades, and other goodies for the kitchen.  And, as of now, I am not sure what items my other godsisters will be creating - but I know they will be a great as the things I have just described.

So, we have an idea and the beginnings of a plan.  For now we are going to get started on creating a workspace in my godmother's basement, coming up with a name, and getting a blog site set up for the business.  We discussed names when we got together yesterday, but have not decided on anything as of yet.  I have a few ideas that I have been tossing around (due to a sleepless night last night), but I don't want to reveal those just yet.

Well, we are all excited and ready to get to work.  Hopefully you can check out our space when we get it set up.

Till next time, happy creating!!!
