STUDIO HAPPENINGS

We were extremely busy over the festive season with Airbnb guests coming and going.  I was delighted when a lovely couple  purchased cards and also organized after their visit for the purchase of Fairy Wren Charm.  It is a reminder of their stay here at Merinda Skies as they are now engaged, the proposal happened during their stay so very special. Wishing the couple nothing but happiness for their future.

It was lovely to have a visit from my Aunty Wendy and friend from the UK who was taken by quite a few products in my studio and I was happy when they insisted on purchasing some of my art to take back as a reminder of their holiday traveling around Australia. Here they are below with their purchases ☺

REDBUBBLE

My redbubble shop went a little crazy before Christmas and it is still good to see some sales happening since. I am always creating new designs and there is something for everyone on many art products that make great gifts check out my shop when you can if looking for a unique present created by an independent artist, me! Below is just a selection of some sales and there were plenty more that left my redbubble gallery so check out my profile HERE 

So apart from keeping up with our Airbnb, family happenings etc. Art still plays an important part of my life and fills my creative soul, and as long as people have a demand for my work I will create when I can.  Once again I want to thank all my supporters and followers! Stay well and happy until next time. 

Best wishes
