Meet The Maker!


This month I have been taking part in a "Meet The Maker" challenge devised by the wonderful Joanne Hawker (https://joannehawker.co.uk). Every day throughout the month there is a prompt to follow. Inspired by that word you devise and then publish a post to Instagram. It has been a wonderful way to engage with the creative community and like minded individuals. I have tried to be individual in my approach and have hopefully put across my ideas and my passion for making. The video above shows me in time lapse (wish I was that fast!) hand colouring a piece of shrink plastic jewellery. Social media is such a huge part of building a business these days but this is such an enjoyable way to be involved.

If you are on Instagram take a look at all the posts with the hashtag #MarchMeetTheMaker and see the diverse range of independent business taking part. My Instagram link is here if you would like to see more of my posts this month. See you there!

#smallandmightystories

After the success of March Meet The Maker I decided to try another monthly campaign. Quite luckily I found and signed up to #smallandmightystories straight away. This time it focusses on Instagram and using "your stories" to engage an audience. So far so good! However, a lot of the content is generated by me talking to camera. Now this is a scary concept if you hate having your photo taken but, in order to gain more confidence, I went for it. My first post can be viewed above! This also serves as a bit of an introduction for you too. Although I am now only six days in it has been fun trying to come up with ideas related to the prompts provided by @socialmouthsam ( https://www.socialmouth.co.uk ). Here's one that shows you where I work, my studio in my garden!
