For today's #MarchMeetTheMaker, it's supposed to be a "day in the life". Instead of subjecting you to the hours I spend staring at my computer planning content or meticulously drawing lines that will one day become a whole image, I'll give you a peek into my rattled brain as we set off for conventions... Yeah, we have a checklist, but I always have to make the aesthetics better, and I *know* I'll forget something. What to wear? Will all pur product make it on time? Am I up to driving 9 hours in one day? The list goes on. Friends who are reading this who have shared experiences know how it is. It never fails to keep you on your toes. . . . . . . . . #ootd #doctorwhoinspired #fblogger #fashionblogger #conventiontravels #conventionlife #ontheroad #dayjob #womeninbusiness #meetthemakerchallenge #meetthemaker #marchchallenge #igchallenge #instagramchallenge #conventionprep #creativelife #traveler #purplehair #dontcare #nerdygirl #geekchic #geekblogger #dayinthelife (at Logan Square)

Day 29 of Meet the Maker is "in progress". I will often share photos of the progression of dreamcatchers, but today I decided to film! It's sped up 20x, and it's the beginning of a Hufflepuff dreamcatcher. The final finished product will be shown off next month! 🏵🏵🏵 #Etsy #etsyca #etsystore #etsyseller #etsyshop #etsysellers #etsysellersofinstagram #gracefuldawn #video #inprogress #workinprogress #spedup #creation #creative #dreamcatcher #earrings #necklaces #bracelets #meetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemakermarch #meetthemakerchallenge #prompt #handcrafted #handmade

#MarchMeetTheMaker 🥰Branding 🥰 I love many geeky things like anime, video games, Marvel, cartoons, and many other pop culture topics! These things make me smile and bring joy into my life, and I transmit that happiness into the creations I make. Creating these amigurumi is essentially my love-letter to the franchise, showing how much of an influence they have in my daily life, as they do in many others' lives. I have a passion for making others smile too, which is why I make these crochet amigurumi in the first place. My brand's slogan is "Smiles weaved in every stitch" because I have so much joy in creating them. I don't do this to make money, but to make others smile. . . . #meetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2020 #meetthemaker2020 #crochet #handmade #yarn #meetthemakerchallenge #handmade #yarn #crochetonig #etsy #etsyshop #crocheter #crafter #amigurumi #smallbusiness #branding #logo #businesscard #slogan #smilesineverystitch #glasses #nerd #geek https://www.instagram.com/p/B9U2g-4ofQv/?igshid=jp3yi30c9g19

Posted @withregram • @camilla_quesnel_art I’ve loved reading everyone’s #meetthemakermarch so have decided to do my own ☀️ Here is a little bit about myself... I’m 21, a twin (I’m the one on the left). I’m currently enrolled at AUB (Arts University Bournemouth), in my 3rd and final year of uni 🥳 I live in Bournemouth on week days and then come home to the beautiful Berkshire countryside on weekends. I live on a farm with my family, two dogs, two cats, 7 chickens, 2 Indian runners, and a lot of horses 😅 I found my love for drawing when I was 13 and then started my Instagram in 2015 (age 16). The Plan is to eventually make this a full time job and work from a studio at home! Hopefully this is only a couple of years away 💕 #meetthemaker2020 #meetthemakerchallenge #realism #drawing #artist #ukcps https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ROEpUhz1B/?igshid=1l1dhszyx5o80

Day 24- Customer Reviews I love this review a customer left on Etsy, this is exactly what I aim for with my work so it was super gratifying to hear confirmation that I was successful. #meetthemaker2019 #meetthemakerchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvae8COnwu9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=179zzc8ia7cpi

March Meet The Maker: Tools & Materials One of my very favourite studio tools is my dressmaker’s dummy, Wanda. She’s an adjustable dressform from the 1970s and originally belonged to my mum, who was a creative and brilliant seamstress. She passed away from cancer when I was 16 and a few years later, when I’d started sewing myself, we came across her dressmaker’s dummy in the attic and I was chuffed to start using it. In 2013 I discovered the dummy was starting to show her age – the red felt material she was originally covered in had started to disintegrate and was shedding fluffy dust everywhere - so I decided to give her a makeover! I bought a glue gun, used some amazing crushed velvet leopard spandex I’d been saving for something special and with no real clue of what the ruddy hell I was doing, dismantled the dummy and went for it! A few hot glue gun burns later, Wanda (named after the almighty Wanda Jackson) was born! Wanda’s come with me wherever I’ve moved over the past few years, between both cities and countries (and is mainly ornamental now as she's a bit fragile) and she’s one of the most important things in my sewing room. My ma was the OG Leopardprint Queen so I think she’d be pretty thrilled about the style update and it’s a way to always have a bit of her and her creative spirit with me everyday when I'm making. 💖 . . . . . #bettybottomdollar #tailorsdummy #dressmakersdummy #leopardprint #mannequin #blueleopard #custom #vintagedress #vintagedressform #repurpose #history #rip #inmemory #marchmeethemaker #meetthemaker #meetthemakers #meetthemakerweek #meetthemakerchallenge #meetthemaker2019 #handsandhustle #mycreativebiz #etsyshopowner #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #heytheremaker #makersofig #photoaday (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buq9GBDl_zG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=188lsinfswcjm

Day 3 of the #meetthemaker challenge is "how I started" I was self taught with the internet and you tube. My first project was dishcloths. I also started by knitting scarves for everyone. I still stay with the pieces I started with but I have advanced to hats. #marchmeetthemaker #day3 #meetthemaker #meetthemakerchallenge (at Cornwall, Ontario)

#meetthemakerchallenge My business 2017 🌸🌸🌸🌸Day 2: "favorite to make": i love to illustrate and make #fashion. Especially with #Africanprints which i find so beautiful. I love #fashionillustration because ideally it brings people to life on paper and brings in the soul of the garment, the designer, the model, and the artist. It explores the expressions of the gestures and expressions of the body, the face, and the art materials it uses. I love illustrations that dance. I also love sketching freehand from my imagination, exploring poses and design details, patterns and textures, and including all ages, body types, and ethnicities in their beauty because #diversityisbeauty. Connecting with creativity and contenplating , appreciating beauty bring joy and celebrate life. They connect me to spirit and ground me at the same time. Improvisation brings me into complete focus, and everything else falls away. I love to bring this experoence to my students.... #learning #fashionschools #fashionteachers #artteachers #positivecreatives #lightworkers #creativeprocess #sketchbook #design #watercolor #gouache #fashionarts

▪️H O W I S T A R T E D▪️ Day 2 of @joannehawker #meetthemaker and it is how I started... I got married almost 2 years ago and I looked around for ages for wedding ideas. I was a pinterest queen, but I just couldn't find what I was looking for! So I decided to make things myself from wedding place names, card postbox, table names and our cake topper (swipe across to take a look). I had so many people asking where I got them from that I thought 'why not make them for others!'. I already had @rowan.and.fox as a business name so I was good to go, and the rest is history! . . . #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemakerdayone #howistarted #WeddingGuestBook #woodenguestbook #personalisedguestbook #weddingideas #weddingseason #weddingideas_brides #weddinginspo2019 #weddinginspo #bridetobe #engaged #groominspiration #shopsmall #shopsmalllove #supportsmallbusiness #creativehappylife #inspiration #scandinavian #followforfollow #fairytale #fairytalewedding #onetruelove #meetthemakers #meetthemakerchallenge #meetthemakermarch #meetthemakermonth #everyoneshinetogether (at Newcastle upon Tyne) https://www.instagram.com/p/BugWcslFkpV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pu745lka7qq6

I am taking part in the #meetthemakerchallenge this month and today is Day 1. I have not done it before, I hope to be very consistent in my posts, so I am going to give it a go. My name is Michelle and I am the owner, creator and designer at Michelle’s Handcrafted Jewellery. I am married and have twin teenage boys, a loveable dog, 2 cats and a chicken. I live in Essex, on the coast, literally 2 minutes from the sea, but I am originally from London. I design and create jewellery for weddings, christenings and other special occasions. I am excited about trying this and sharing my daily posts with you all. Come and say hello, I won’t bite.😉 #marchmeetthemaker2018 #marchmeetthemaker #smallbusinesslife http://ift.tt/2F5ykDp

◇Routine◇ My normal, daily routine is completely different than the one I have when I go on the road for work. This brief video I took a few months ago because I was primed to poke fun at myself is just a glimpse into how crazy I get when packing. (Clock the shoes and accessories strewn about in the beginning.) I often dress up for the events we attend because I encounter many people my company does business with through other events and product dealings. I'm also a young woman in this industry (not the norm), and there is a lot of room for scrutiny. Looking put together and "knowing my stuff" does a lot for my confidence in these scenarios. Plus, it's fun to push the boundaries between alt fashion and professional dress! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . . #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemakerchallenge #meetthemaker #marchchallenge #instagramchallenge #igchallenge #morningroutine #traveler #fblogger #fashionblogger #ootd #mytravelcloset #ontheroad #routinelife #worktrips #behindthescenes #stylesecrets #overpacker #narrator #travelhabits #anatomyofanoutfit #nerdygirl #womeninbusiness #businesslady #worklife (at Hyatt Regency Long Island)

Day 31 of March Meet the Maker is upon us! The very last prompt is your product in use or in the wild. I've already shared photos from my most recent customer reviews, so have this one instead! This shot was taken by @nowthatsbananas after she received her custom dreamcatcher from me, back in 2017! It was one of the first dreamcatchers I ever made, and as such, a little rough around the edges. But my methods improved and now I'm even faster than I was two years ago! 💠💠💠 #MeettheMaker #marchmeetthemaker #meethemakermarch #meetthemakerchallenge #GracefulDawn #gracefuldawndesigns #dreamcatcher #customorder #custom #order #request #product #feedback #customer #customerphoto #blue #black #purple #silver #handmade #handcrafted #handmadedreamcatcher #handcrafteddreamcatcher #feathers #feathered https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsMmA3Av-L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ljdmkyaupm51

#MarchMeetTheMaker ⏰ Time ⏰ People often ask me how long it takes for me to make an amigurumi. The answer always depends on the following: 🧶Is there a pattern? Or do I create my own? 🧶Is the amigurumi large? Or small? 🧶Are there lots of details? Or is it plain? 🧶How often I get distracted watching *insert TV show name here* Making something by hand always takes a lot of time, but the love and thought put into it always make the final product something remarkable. Sure, it can take over an hour to make something as simple as this little bumblebee, but time enjoyed is time not wasted! . . . #meetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2020 #meetthemaker2020 #crochet #handmade #yarn #meetthemakerchallenge #handmade #yarn #crochetonig #etsy #etsyshop #crocheter #crafter #amigurumi #smallbusiness #bee #bumblebee #amigurumilove #savethebees #mural #grandrapids #handmadegifts #stuffedanimal #doll (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9SWdEdoc3G/?igshid=19uaoez4yvkqf

Day 9- Story behind your name When I was in college I made a lot of pieces with insects. My college roommate @jendymendy was a graphic design major and for one of her projects she designed a business card, logo, etc for me that was insect themed. Later when I started my business I used those graphics because they were what I had and chose a business name to fit them and went with Metamorphosis. Since I used a lot of found objects in my work at that time I thought the name fit pretty well. The Metals part came because the domain name metamorphosis.com was already taken. These days, I no longer do found object or dead bug jewelry anymore so people always ask about the name. They usually try to read a lot of deep meaning into it but in reality it was born out of a lack of graphic design skills. You can see some badly tarnished examples of my older work, college (left) and early Metamorphosis (right). #meetthemakerchallenge #meetthemaker2019 #meettheartist (at metamorphosis metals) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buzq5M1n_Qx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rbjmmc692ob0

Day 2 of #marchmeetthemaker - where! I live in #stroud which is currently under a foot of snow! I love living here so much, it has a vibe to it and is full of creative types.
