You see, in the last two months I have been working on smallish paintings, that I could eventually sell in my Etsy shop, LilliBean Designs.
I have also been putting off opening said Etsy shop for business, for a whole host of reasons, but bottom line - because I've been scared. I mean what if no one bought any of my work? Would that mean I'd failed?
Man that little bitch that is my inner critic had dug in her sharp little claws.
Anyway last week, after a really crap day of feeling like a failure both as a mother, a wife, a friend and an artist, (it was a really, really crappy day) I realised that if this was the worst I would feel (which was damn crappy) in the end I would still have to get up tomorrow and do it again.
So why then wouldn't I open up my shop, because today, damn it, I had had my very own, very personal epic fail. And surely after this failure, being scared of another wasn't such a scary prospect after all.
It was a Hallelujah moment for sure.
But coming to the point of this post, which is this months give away, and I am giving away one of the paintings I created to sell in my shop. I also used it in a recent Illustration Friday prompt 'Jump' You can read more about the painting on this post
