Your art makes me wish I could stand anything other than plain white walls - & then they wonder why my son has some issues!

This is another one that would make a great fabric design.

Why not send one to habitat?

Well late this afternoon I did another test - and this time came up clear. I was going stir crazy so I took a trip to Dun*1m and picked up some bargains - none of which were available online - presumably discontinued ranges. Some silver leaf pattern curtains for my bedroom £67 reduced from £135 - they are a metallic dot print and the colours change from different angles and a matching plain soft grey faux silk roman blackout blind for £13.75 reduced from £50! I'd looked at getting some made to measure from various online places but they were coming in at around £240 and I just couldn't press go! I need BIL or someone to fit the roman blind for me though - so still can't use either yet. 



I also picked up some green crinkle velvet eyelet curtains and got those for £12.50 when I'd thought I was buying them full price at £25. They are for my upstairs art room. I bought one other thing but in the wrong size so will need to return that. I need a tiny cross-headed screwdriver to get the finials off to fit the green curtains - should be able to get one from either DD or next door tomorrow.

I was sweating cobs when I came back - don't know if that was from post-covid exertion or because it was warm out or what.

If I do get significant extra £ soon - I'm considering paying someone to decorate. I may start getting some quotes - and get on a waiting list - and hopefully that will give me some options. I could then focus on the thing that only I can do albeit with help from others which is declutter. I am hoping if I get bright clean spaces from newly painted walls that it will incentivise better behaviour... then I think of my study and question that. Still I have to try...

I want to list some stuff on FB this week end and see what sells.

Glad that you're all clear

Alchemilla - I have been thinking that some of my recent designs are cool enough to become prints etc and wondering what market there could be. If I do end up doing that in future - I will have to go through my diary and delete piccies as I think my style is potentially distinctive. I could develop some Christian art cards fairly easily which could be a way to go. They could also equally be notebook covers. I don't know how easy it would be to get wider interest. Any other suggestions of where to try? I like your idea of putting them on clothes or tiles etc too but I have no idea how to achieve that...

I have a friend who is a printer so I may drop him an email with some example designs and see what he thinks they'd look good on and what kind of pricing it would be. I know I could potentially put stuff on redbubble.

I really like those curtains
