Been awhile hasn't it.
I've been a busy little bee!
I have gained some dreams and aspirations and although I'm still a little lost
in my own world I'm on A path, I’m not sure if it is THE path but at least I’m
on one :)
So for the latest chapter in my life I have decided to finally create a
brand/design/an outlet for my creativity. It has been an itsy bitsy brain egg
for quite some time and I have finally put it in motion! It has been a huge and
amazing learning curb too! I never realised that starting something could have
so much work involved, and man have I been researching my butt off!
It has been a crazy old path so far and I’m only just beginning!
Want me to tell you a little about it?
It is called Coshwash Designs and it is starting off as handmade jewellery
and other cute so and so’s. I haven’t actually had anything to sell yet but
sourcing materials has been an adventure in itself!
Here’s a bit about the process so far:
For the first time in my life I have had to deal with wholesalers for bulk
materials, I have really tried to keep my supplies Australia based to ‘keep it
local’ so to speak, but in some cases that’s just not an option. It has been a
struggle to try and convey what I want through email and either have them not
understand or just not even receive a reply.
My first lot of materials came from good ol’ eBay... They were expensive and at
first quite disappointing. They did however provide a starting platform and
give me an idea of what I do and don’t want from things, and yes I was kind of
upset at first because, like anyone just starting out, I figured it would all
work out first go, it took me awhile to appreciate the process for all it was
worth.
I currently have a whole lot of materials on the way to me now and I am mega
excited to start creating! It has been frustrating trying to source everything
and not be able to see and feel it and I am still quite apprehensive as to what
quality the materials will be but I am trying to stay optimistic and improvise
if need be, practice makes perfect after all and eventually I will get it
right... Eventually :p
Now alls i need to do is recieve the supplies, make my creations, take some awesome sauce photos and get them out there for people to see! I am really having trouble containing my excitement, after sourcing everything it's weird not having anything to do at the moment...
So that’s it so far. Expect a lot more posts once I get my lil' paws working, I
can’t wait!
Ciao!
