I absolutely love working on both of my Etsy shops, but decided I needed another, smaller one! I've been making things over and over so much that I haven't had a lot of time to make one of a kind pieces. I really wanted a little corner of my own that I could put my weird little altered art pieces in. They are, admittedly, weird and kitschy, but I love making them so much!
My new Etsy shop is Violet Plays, just for whatever comes out of my imagination but doesn't exactly fit in with a children's shop or a vintage shop. That's exactly what I'm doing - playing! I really needed to get back to being creative and I hope this gives me more of an excuse to do so. I hope you like my new creations, but if you don't that's okay too! I wanted this shop to be more of a place to put my little art pieces in. I hate calling myself an artist - blech. It sounds so pretentious. Especially when I'm using glitter and vintage dolls and things. It seems like the word "artist" should be reserved for painters that actually sell what they paint in gallerys, you know?
Let me know what you think!
Hi there Amanda, I love Gwen's bunnies!! I think it's great to be creative for yourself and we should all play, whatever our age and have fun.
have a fab day :)

But you ARE an artist -- you just have slightly different gallery walls. :)

Thanks, Dawn!! That's the sweetest comment ever! I'll have to remember that. :)
