WEARECHAMY...

A while back me and the boy decided to set up an Etsy shop together. It's a little venture we're trying out  in the hope that one day it will grow and evolve so that one day we may end up working for ourselves. It's all very new to each of us, making, managing, promoting etc etc plus both holding down full time jobs!

For me it is also another little creative outlet. I can sell my paintings and drawings that don't really fit in with my other artwork.

I thought I'd share a few things we have in the shop at the moment.

Anchor Gloves £5

Tote Bags £8 

Kitsch ornaments (various) £5 - £10

Limited signed prints from £3.50

At the moment we are working on some clothing and accessories that we hope to get in the shop in the next week. We already posted a sneaky preview on our WEARECHAMY facebook page and have had some people order outside of Etsy meaning that we've delayed the listing. 

We update the Facebook page all the time with sneaky previews and new listing so go hit the like button and keep up to date with what we're up to.

What I've been up to...

My critics (my mother!) said I wouldn't make it but I did! Against nature and it's snowy glory I made it all the way from Devon to Hereford and then all the way to Leeds and then back again all in one piece. I had a lovely time with two of my best girly friends from University.

Natassia who lives in Leeds, is now a tattoo artist. She is one very talented lady and she put a lovely tattoo on my foot, which did make me twitch lots (whilst in progress) and I had to walk about like the elephant man for a couple of days!! But it was completely worth it to have some of her brilliant artwork on me forever!

This is what she did -

Now I'm back I have a whole week off of work which I am going to fill up with being very creatively productive!!!

Today me and the boy have been making t-shirts for our etsy shop WEARECHAMY. My old electric sewing machine died on me a while back, but Chay bought me a beautiful old hand crank Singer sewing machine a few Christmas' ago which I finally got to give a spin today! and horaaah it worked!

This was the outcome - 

We're going to crack on with it so that we can have them in the shop by the end of the week!

And now I am doing another painting for the shop, maybe to put on some totes??? I'm also putting together some art work to put up in the cafe I work at. So I will more than likely be making these into prints. Will put a piccy up next time.

Until then,
