Hello Monday!

Well this is the 4th week of Freelancing and still enjoying working from home! I thought the hardest part for me would be getting out of bed in the morning, but I suprised myself! I haven't given myself a lie in (yet) Ok I get up abit later than when I went out to work, but I have made sure I get out of my PJ's slap on some make up and start every morning at 9am..start as you mean to go on I say!

So, over the past 3 weeks Ive been putting myself about abit (so to speak) I've sent off emails to 5 Illustration Agencies and 2 companies with potential Freelance opportunities. I've been working on some packaging design aswell as developing my own ideas.

I have also joined Society6 and created a little shop!

Last August I posted about my butterfly designs that I wasn't sure what to do with, so after shelving the idea for a few months I went back to it & turned the design into a repeat pattern and put it into 3 colourways which I must say I was very please with!
I decided I would like to see the pattern on products. I knew about Society6 through Social Media and followed some of the Designers on there.
It's an American website that allows Designers all around the world to create their own shops and upload their Artwork to all the products available. Society6 print to order and the Designer gets a percentage of the sales. It's only a small percentage, but it's a great tool for getting yourself noticed, seeing your designs on different products and it doesnt cost anything! I've got 2 patterns on there so far, but I would also like to add some of my Myla-May designs which I think could be fun! Go and have look, I hope you like what I have done so far :0)x
