Congratulations to Cole & Josephine!

The winner of my first giveaway is Nicole from Cole & Josephine! I put all the names of everyone who commented on my blog into a straw hat this morning and my lovely boyfriend pulled out the name! CONGRATULATIONS to Nicole!!!

When you have the chance you must take a look at Nicole's blog and shop on Etsy. Nicole's paintings (in her own words) emerge from her vivid imagination in dreamlike pop surrealism. The works are filled with girls and creatures that are both meek and brave, fragile and strong. They focus on the blur between reality and dreams, that instant when the petals dancing in the breeze make you unsure if you are awake or asleep. Her art is really lovely!!

Make sure to look out for another giveaway next month! Watch this space March 8th.

LOLA notebook giveaway!

To celebrate Queenie Bee achieving over 1000 page views in only six weeks, and to thank my lovely followers, I am giving away the most popular item in my Etsy shop - the LOLA notebook. Lola is a spiral bound A5 notebook and is valued at US$14.

All you need to do is make a comment on my blog between now and Saturday (you can be a new or existing follower). I will then put your names into a hat. Then on Sunday, I will pull out a winner! If you mention my blog on your blog or on a Twitter post then you will get two entries in the hat!!

The competition is open to anyone, wherever you live in the world.

Best of luck!!!

What on earth is my niche? Do I really need one?

Lola art print - A4 size - US$20


Lempicka in red art print - 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches - US15

NEW - Curvy girls rule art print - 71/2 x 8 1/2 inches - US$15

Today has been a struggle. I am struggling to take good photographs of my new and existing prints. Above are some of my new photographs and they all look like I am standing on one leg! I am also struggling to find my niche and whether it is important or not to have one. As you can see above, my work is varied!

I get inspired by everything I see and do. I get really excited about something and then I start creating. But then I find myself going off in too many directions. I'm a natural yellow positive personality who will give you five ideas rather than one. But the problem is I have no niche!

What on earth is it? Do I even need a niche. My background is marketing so I feel obliged to have a niche. But does it really matter. I see artists and handcrafters all the time with niches... ;-( but I don't have one!

But then this morning I came across this from SCRIBD:



Maybe I don't need a niche after all.
