#meetthemakerchallenge

For today's #MarchMeetTheMaker, it's supposed to be a "day in the life". Instead of subjecting you to the hours I spend staring at my computer planning content or meticulously drawing lines that will one day become a whole image, I'll give you a peek into my rattled brain as we set off for conventions... Yeah, we have a checklist, but I always have to make the aesthetics better, and I *know* I'll forget something. What to wear? Will all pur product make it on time? Am I up to driving 9 hours in one day? The list goes on. Friends who are reading this who have shared experiences know how it is. It never fails to keep you on your toes. . . . . . . . . #ootd #doctorwhoinspired #fblogger #fashionblogger #conventiontravels #conventionlife #ontheroad #dayjob #womeninbusiness #meetthemakerchallenge #meetthemaker #marchchallenge #igchallenge #instagramchallenge #conventionprep #creativelife #traveler #purplehair #dontcare #nerdygirl #geekchic #geekblogger #dayinthelife (at Logan Square)

Posted @withregram • @camilla_quesnel_art I’ve loved reading everyone’s #meetthemakermarch so have decided to do my own ☀️ Here is a little bit about myself... I’m 21, a twin (I’m the one on the left). I’m currently enrolled at AUB (Arts University Bournemouth), in my 3rd and final year of uni 🥳 I live in Bournemouth on week days and then come home to the beautiful Berkshire countryside on weekends. I live on a farm with my family, two dogs, two cats, 7 chickens, 2 Indian runners, and a lot of horses 😅 I found my love for drawing when I was 13 and then started my Instagram in 2015 (age 16). The Plan is to eventually make this a full time job and work from a studio at home! Hopefully this is only a couple of years away 💕 #meetthemaker2020 #meetthemakerchallenge #realism #drawing #artist #ukcps https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ROEpUhz1B/?igshid=1l1dhszyx5o80

Day 31 of March Meet the Maker is upon us! The very last prompt is your product in use or in the wild. I've already shared photos from my most recent customer reviews, so have this one instead! This shot was taken by @nowthatsbananas after she received her custom dreamcatcher from me, back in 2017! It was one of the first dreamcatchers I ever made, and as such, a little rough around the edges. But my methods improved and now I'm even faster than I was two years ago! 💠💠💠 #MeettheMaker #marchmeetthemaker #meethemakermarch #meetthemakerchallenge #GracefulDawn #gracefuldawndesigns #dreamcatcher #customorder #custom #order #request #product #feedback #customer #customerphoto #blue #black #purple #silver #handmade #handcrafted #handmadedreamcatcher #handcrafteddreamcatcher #feathers #feathered https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsMmA3Av-L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ljdmkyaupm51

Meet the Maker is wrapping up, and one of its last prompts is support. I honestly have a wonderful support system: my loving boyfriend, my best friends, and of course, my family. I'm lucky to have such a great support system behind me with my business, as I know a lot of makers who are just doing it by themselves. 💠💠💠 #MeettheMaker #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemakerchallenge #GracefulDawn #gracefuldawndesigns #support #fortune #animalcrossing #nintendo #animalcrossingpocketcamp #handmade #handcrafted #support #handmadejewelry #handcraftedjewelry #jewelry #makers #business #entrepreneur #fortunecookie https://www.instagram.com/p/BvphcbMAgsm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tiazx4e7xi1d

We're nearing the end of Meet the Maker March! I have mixed feelings: on one hand, this challenge has been fun, but on the other, life stress has been a very real thing this March. Anyway, on to today's prompt: packaging! I ship all my pieces in a reusable mesh baggie inside a sealed bubble envelope. For international orders I have to fill out one of these small packet slips, which gets attached to the envelope. If you choose to include gift wrapping, I will send your pieces in a gold or silver baggie! Larger pieces or orders with multiple items will get wrapped individually and placed inside an opaque and reusable satin bag! 💠💠💠 #MeettheMaker #marchmeetthemaker #meethemakermarch #meetthemakerchallenge #GracefulDawn #gracefuldawndesigns #juzu #juzubracelet #blue #bluebeads #packing #packaging #packagingslip #shipment #shipping #tassel #slaythespire #bracelet #stack #stackable #stackablebracelet #bluebracelet https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkefgIgJ47/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3m5bhesqll0r

Oh my gosh, I am running behind with Meet the Maker photos, mostly due to my good computer being out of commission and life in general being hectic. Good news, though: as of last night, my computer is back up and running! (Shout-out to @anothergamer1 for making a late-night emergency tech support housecall.) Anyway, I've missed days 25 and 26 of Meet the Maker so I'll lump 'em together with today's prompt! Day 25: How it's made. In a word: patience. It takes a lot of patience, practice, and time to do what I do. The first picture is a testament to that. The dreamcatcher loop is now finished with a tubular peyote stitch around its rim, but at the time this shot was taken, I had already sunk 12 full hours into the project. Day 26: Self love. I love me a good bath, a gook book, and scented candles. But the best thing I can do for myself is spend time with my best friend, @breelovespuns. She and I met almost 6 years ago in college, and we've been inseparable since. She's one of my favourite people of all time, and I can't image my life without her. Day 27: Anything goes. I've started a new tradition on Instagram! Every Saturday, you can ask me anything, and I will answer honestly. I want to get to know my audience, and I want my audience to know more about me, even after Meet the Maker is over! 💠💠💠 #MeettheMaker #meetthemakermarch #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemakerchallenge #GracefulDawn #gracefuldawndesigns #handmade #handcrafted #handmadejewelry #handcraftedjewelry #jewelry #dreamcatcher #selfie #bestie #bestfriend #saturday #askmeanything #dreamcatcherloop #tubularstitch #beadweaving #beadweavingpeyote #peyoteweave https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhsHeGH3Qr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w4uw0b69q6i6

Meet the Maker Day 24! Today's prompt is customers & feedback. Here are two photos from my most recent customers! The first gave me a review on Twitter: "This thing's not getting more than five feet away from me for the rest of my life if I get any say in the matter." The second photo was provided via Facebook, along with another stellar review: "Thank you so much for the necklace and bracelet and the little note. I was kind of having a blah day until I opened up the mailbox. These are so dope. I love that the beads are Ecuadorian and the raw green rock looks epic. Thanks!" All the things my customers have said over the years are available on my website, link in bio! 💠💠💠 #marchmeetthemaker #MeettheMaker #meetthemakermarch #meetthemakerchallenge #GracefulDawn #gracefuldawndesigns #customer #customerreviews #reviews #feedback #bracelet #stackable #stackablebracelet #necklace #necklaces #gold #teal #brown #woodbeads #goldbracelet #bluebeads #blue #tassel #SlaytheSpire #juzubracelet #customerfeedback https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZPm3THZqc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=819n0o651bri

Day 17 of Meet the Maker! Today's prompt is what I'm working on, an since it's also St. Patrick's Day, I figured I should show off something green! The orange and red bangle bracelet I finished last night, and now I'm starting to work on the green and clear one. I'm creating a bit of a pattern, and I'm excited to see how it ends up looking! 💠💠💠 #MeettheMaker #marchmeetthemaker #GracefulDawn #meetthemakerchallenge #green #red #gracefuldawndesigns #orange #bangle #bracelet #beaded #beads #tubularpeyotestitch #tubularstitch #beadingswitch #stackable #braceletstacks #handmade #handcrafted #handmadejewelry #handcraftedjewelry #jewelry #stpatricksday https://www.instagram.com/p/BvH5ACNg4vT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ep2pjzr85yiw
