November Catch Up

It was certainly a busy month so lets go through the highlights!

On November 9th my bear magnets and stickers came in! The Milky Way Bear magnet turned out a lot smaller than I expected but the design is still beautiful and the Grizzly Family sticker looks awesome!

On November 11th Honey Suckle Crafts https://www.instagram.com/honeysuckle_craftss?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== and I collaborated for a giveaway that ended on December 1st. Everything in the giveaway was a valued at $130.00 !
Items that are included:
Original watercolour painting
Western Pasque Bookmark
5 assorted stickers
Crochet Chicken
Crochet Mushroom pop
Leaf earrings

In preparation of upcoming markets I took paper bags I had loose in my house and drew fun designs on them to be reused! I then forgot them at home…. But that just means I am extra prepared for my future markets.

On November 15th I completed a Commission! It’s a mix of Pokémon/ Magic the Gathering/ Naruto.

On November 16th my mom and I finally got around to taking nice pictures of my Seasons Greetings Cards!

November 19th I vended at the Royals Sunday Market https://www.theroyalnelson.com/events . This market I was up on the stage and I had enough space to have two tables set up and my easel! My boyfriend and friend helped me out and overall it was really fun!

November 21st I dropped by the Coop to leave some of my Milky Way Bears and Grizzly Family cards with The Ursa Project Society. They had a table set up as an info booth and to sell calendars, bags , cards and stickers.

On November 22nd I dropped off some books, cards, bookmarks, and stickers to https://www.asterandbliss.com/ on Consignment.

November 27th I sent some fan mail out! I found a really cool band called Lo & the High Road https://www.instagram.com/loandthehighroad?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== they have a song about Jackalopes so I messaged them and asked if I could send a Jackalope sticker!

October Catch Up

October was still quite busy but I had less markets… only 3!

Oct 7th I was a vendor at Cottonwood Falls Farmers Market and it was very very cold and it didn’t get sunny till about noon. This time I was closer to the entrance but that didn’t do much in terms of traffic for me sadly. There was a sweet older lady that really like my painting called 2 steps forward, 3 steps back, she even knew where to put it in her kitchen . If I didn’t need the money to pay for life so badly I honestly would’ve just given it to her. See below for images from Cottonwood Market.

Somewhere in the beginning of October, Urban Legends in Nelson took my book and some stickers, magnets, pins and keychains on consignment!

Oct 13th aka Friday the 13th , my order of books came in! I was in desperate need of more copies of Roadtrips and Rainbow Trout for the upcoming Christmas markets. They came in two boxes that mostly consisted of stuffing paper so behold my fancy paper scarf as I show off my books!

Oct 14th Cottonwood Falls Farmers Market, phase 1/2 of my new set up got put into gear. It was mostly spurred on by lack of engagement and a spontaneous trip to Walmart. I had two separate people buy stickers and instantly smack em on their water bottles. One of the people actually asked me to put the sticker on, so that was exciting. There was a very good band playing and I made a trade with Spirit Nests https://instagram.com/spiritnests?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== some stickers for a chapstick. I also worked on one of my commissions for a little bit! See below images from Cottonwood Market.

Oct 28th the last Cottonwood Falls Farmer Market of the year. We had been relocated to the Chamber of Commerce parking lot but that was ok. There was also a bit of a Halloween theme so my BF and I decided to switch up the usual mushroom hat and we were ducks instead. I believe the blindingly bright yellow that we were both wearing equally scared people away and brought more people to us. We did a bit of the chicken dance and brought the Stronk Honk sticker to life then caused a bit of chaos after the market was done on Baker Street. Overall lots of laughter was had!

My Artwalk opening night experience!

The Artwalk location I have my artwork at is Booksmyth in Nelson BC. I shared the location with Kimberley Hyatt, https://instagram.com/hyattkimberley?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== .

My artwork is displayed amongst the books and on the sides of bookshelves. Along with some stickers and bookmarks I was selling as well

Opening night was super busy and I only ended up getting one photo (see below image, I am posing with a piece that sold). It was really exciting to explain my art process and inspirations but I definitely did not expect to see so many people come out! So a big Thank You to everyone that came out and supported Artwalk 2023! ❤️

A little bit of catch up!

I have had a lot of cool experience’s lately but I haven’t been posting on here so this will be a semi organized info dump.

In February I was part of the Polka Dot Dragon Lantern Festival. My installation was a Fairy Ring made out of cloth, metal hangers, wood and paint. I added glow in the dark paint on the caps in hope it would glow in the dark… it kinda worked.

I was sanding the bases of the mushrooms
My Papa helped me by cutting out the bases
Lots and lots of red paint was used
Making the mushroom caps
My dad helping me make the mushrooms
Katya helping me
The end result!

On March 18th the Touchstones 2023 Members Show opened and I had the great opportunity of having my art in the show!

This piece is called 2 steps forward 3 steps back. Fun fact it has two different messages in Morse code on it.

On March 24th I noticed that Otterbook Store put my book in the display window! Butterflies and a happy dance is what that brought on!

At the end of March I dropped off some new colouring pages at Main Street Diner! Apparently a kid complained about getting the same design two times in a row… Obviously time for new colouring pages!

Bouquet of flowers
Ogopogo of Kootenay Lake
A Salmon
Halibut fish look so weird

All the while during March I was rushing to make some art pieces on canvas to apply to the Art Walk 2023!

🥳 SPOILERS🥳 I got into the Art Walk 2023 and I am beyond excited!! more updates to come…

This one gave me Journey To The centre Of The Earth and Tintin and the Shooting star vibes.
Overgrown Courthouse It was super easy to paint this one because I could accurately paint where the sunset was.
Overgrown Touchstones Museum. My sneaky detail I cut off where the Canadian flag would’ve been but I did keep the Red Dress in the window.

At the end of April Cowans Office Supplies purchased 10 books from me and now they are on display in the store!

I have started to design Mushroom Cards, they can be used as greeting, birthday, or just a hello card.

https://www.tinygiantscreations.com and my friend Magnificent Monsters ( on Instagram ) have made some awesome additions to my waterbottle ! please go check them out.

Pickle power for the win!
The cutest strawberry charm!

May 6th I attended the first market of the season at the NDYC. Magnificent Monsters ( on Instagram ) and I shared a table and I also had a few of my cousins cards and prints Tiger Tuesday ( on Instagram ).
