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!!!
