A little over a month ago I opened my first Etsy shop selling inspirational, funny and weird wall art. I’ve been creating graphic art in this way for years but recently realised it would be good to make it available for people who were looking for home décor ideas and at the same time want to be inspired. Wall art can uplift us and help us when life is tough.
As someone who has experienced depression and other mental health issues, I know how much I personally need encouragement daily and Kelly’s Playground Art is my way of adding a little light to the world.
This week’s prize is an example of one of the many inspirational prints in my Etsy shop. I also sell a range of empowering and supportive prints for children.
I remember as a child having pretty low self-esteem, I never felt good enough and had a very low opinion of myself. I know that the pressure nowadays is even more for the younger generation and to encourage children at the most challenging time (often during school years) can make a big difference.
Perhaps you have a son or daughter who feels like an outsider or has been bullied or you simply want your child to remember their value and worth.
Let them know that they matter and that they are loved.
If you want to encourage your children in this way pop by the Motivational Kids Quotes Prints in my Etsy store.
Along with children’s prints I also sell a range of empowering and more feminist prints and funny menopausal prints to give as gifts to your friends or even your partner. I think we all need a good laugh through our daily challenges and over time I will be adding more humorous art to the shop.
Many of us past a certain age need reminding not to take this change of life so seriously. I am 44 and seem to have entered peri-menopause early so I understand the challenges involved, but I also have to find ways to laugh at the experience also. Brain fog can be a common thing during menopausal years and I prefer to think the fairies took my brain instead of anything serious.
And lastly, I also sell some weird strange art, for all those outsiders, teenagers, misfits, students who feel more different than most people. Reminders that being weird is a blessing not a curse.
So, for this week’s blog post competition I offer readers of my blog the opportunity to win one of 6 prizes.
The prize is one of my favourite prints on overcoming all odds. A reminder that like the phoenix we can all rise from the ashes and that the burning and challenges of life can lead to an amazing transformation.
This competition is open worldwide and it includes one print that is A3 in size, one print that is A4 in size and four prints that are A5 in size. So there will be 6 prize winners in total.
