This is a Messy Bag from Groundbreaking (available in Wednesday night's release) sitting on top of its doppelgänger, Flower House (coming soon).⁠
.⁠
If you paid me one trillion dollars to recreate one of the canvases, I could not do it. Not because I have an objection to it, I just don't think I possess the skill set to replicate them. 🙅🏼‍♀️😬 But somehow, with 4 or 5 canvases in between, I managed to pull off the unthinkable. 🙃⁠
.⁠
Recoding it here for prosperity because it will never happen again. 😂

Highs and Lows. 2020, am I right? Mostly lows, couple of highs, everyone just hanging in there to try and come out somewhat even at the end.⁠
.⁠
Messy Bags from the Highs and Lows canvas will be available on Wednesday night, 23rd Sept, at 7.30pm.⁠
.⁠
If you want to see more, I'm about to go and share a bunch of these ones in my stories. ☀️

Florals? For Spring. Groundbreaking⁠
.⁠
Groundbreaking is one of the canvases available in Wednesday night's release. 🌻🌸🌷🌺🌼⁠
.⁠
Feet + bar stool included to give you an idea of the scale of the canvases. Success is questionable. Imagine a doona you could sleep under and not share with anyone. They're about that big.

I named this canvas and then when it came time to put the tags on them I forgot what it was called. So now it's called Groundbreaking and it will be available in next Wednesday's release.⁠
.⁠
And don't worry about missing out, I accidentally painted an almost IDENTICAL canvas pretty much straight after this one so this version of Inkling floral has plenty to go round. 🙃🌸🌼

Inkling is pretty much just me, a one woman show. Every now and then I can rope in friends to come help for a day, mostly on their days off from their Actual Proper Job. The hustle (and struggle 😂) is real. I work way too late way too many nights of the week, usually at the machine sewing, attempting to keep the Messy Bags stocked. I can't, and as fast as I can get them up they disappear again.⁠
.⁠
I *finally* got a second machine to put in at the workshop, something I have wanted to do since I moved in last year. It's forced me to stop working so much at night because I have been deliberately leaving everything at the workshop. I feel like 2020 is probably not the year to keep burning all the candles from all the possible ends? Also, and most excitingly (for me anyway!, it means I can have someone with me in the workshop sewing Messy Bags while I paint and cut. More Messy Bags for everyone!⁠
.⁠
I am pretty stoked about having something resembling a work life balance. I am even more stoked about being able to have an extra body in to help. Not quite sure where that extra body is coming from just yet, but in the meantime I'll just keep stealing all the spare days from friends that I can.⁠
.⁠
If you have made it to the end, congratulations, all of this is to say there are new bags, like these ones, available next Wednesday Sept 23 at 7.30pm. 🙃🌼
