I had been humming and hawing about it for months beforehand {sometimes it takes me forever to actually do something once I get an idea}. Once I committed to starting a Society6 shop, I took a couple weeks to get my head around some designs and ideas. Not to mention trying to make them resemble something semi-internet-worthy. I wanted to create stuff I loved. It ultimately sounds quite selfish, but I found myself designing things I’d love to see and use in our own home. This is where I’m excited and apprehensive. Because I like them, and that makes me sound like a jerk, and that also makes them personal? {side note – work on developing thicker skin}.
I’d like to introduce you to my small collection of stuff, Made by A!
So far I have six design ranges …
- BLACK, WHITE AND BURGUNDY – a few of my favourite things
- SUNSET – and yes that is a real life Dublin sunset
- BRUSH STROKES – inspired by my favourite painting in our living room that I painted {but yeesh, those old pictures are horrible. Please be kind}
- LET THEM EAT – one of my favourite Instagram pics of a black forrest gateau hubby got me when I returned from Blogtacular
- DAINTY SKULLS – a teeny, pretty skull pattern which I wanted to paint inside the bedside table I made over, but couldn’t, so here it is on Society6
- FOG – an ode to forever wanting to live in a Tim Burton movie
All the above mentioned ranges are available in a number of home accessories. From shower curtains to rugs to mugs to pillows to clocks. Oh, and canvas tote bags. Because I have about a 50 of them already and clearly need more.
The cogs are turning and I have a few new ideas in the works that I’d like to add. Keep an eye on my sidebar for any updates and check the verrry top of Society6’s online shop as they advertise deals or discounts {they often have free worldwide shipping = hello} as well as on all of the social media I’m sure. I hope you enjoy my little new adventure / oh god please be kind.
