New Website

I finally got my very own website! I had wanted one for so long but couldn't really justify it when I had etsy, but I decided the other week that I am just going to do it. So I workhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.photo.gifed really hard on the design, and my husband (pictured) worked really hard on the coding side of things, and I love the result!

Check it out at www.almab.com.au and let me know what you think! It is still a bit rough, particularly the gallery section, but it will be cleaned up soon.

I intended to be doing a market review in this spot but after planning to go to my favorite markets at Eumundi, it was a miserable weekend with rain, so I will try and do something next week.

Busy Busy...

It's been busy busy round here lately - I am stocking up on supplies to make a whole heap of new necklaces, so look out in the shop for them, plus I have got some brand new products I'm developing which I am excited about. Above are some pictures of the beginnings of some new necklaces.

Once I get all the products on the go that I want to develop, I am going to open a stall at a market - so I have been researching which market would be best for me. I love going to the markets, so I am loving the research! :-)

The thought of setting up a stall is quite scary for me, but I think it's something I have to try. I will keep posting about my findings on all the markets in Brisbane.

It has been so hot here lately, and I am starting to really crave some colder weather. I created this little canvas about my thoughts - it's called "Dreaming of Colder Weather" and it will be up in the shop as an original this week.

I got in!

I have been psyching myself up for applying to Trunkt for weeks now, a bit afraid of the possible rejection - I had heard on Etsy it was a pretty tight selection process.

Trunkt is a curated website of art and design, and a place where professionals can check out emerging artists and designers, so I was really wanting to get my work on there.

I finally applied the other day, and am so excited to say I can now be found here!

The picture is a piece I completed on the weekend. It's about the feeling of coming home after a long journey. It will be available as an original in my shop soon.

Blythe

My new obsession is Blythe dolls, and though this is straying from my usual style, I totally love them! I went a bit crazy with them and I now own 3, which all arrived in the last week. Hello Harvest was my first, and still my favourite, I think she's so pretty! Then came Mod Molly and Enchanted Petal, both of which are so adorable! Enchanted Petal I am planning on doing some customising work to.
More Blythe news will follow now and again.
