This is probably only a third of my art/craft supplies. It’s pretty frustrating at the moment because this is all the storage space I have and it’s also my work area. I’d love to have a studio close to home where I can work but anxiety and my inability to make enough money to pay for said space is a precluding factor.
People have been asking how I support myself if I don’t work a regular job and I am pretty reluctant to get into details because it seems like a slippery slope into a quite upsetting place for me. I am sick, I do not get any government pension, and I do my best to make money from my art. Day to day I struggle with the reality of being a sick person who is a burden on her family.
When people buy fat necklaces it means a lot to me because I can’t draw much at the moment and it’s hard to make money being an artist when you can’t draw. I hope to sell prints and stuff in the future but I don’t know how to make it happen because I have a very non-logistical mind.
Anyway. That was a bit of a spontaneous blurt. I am NOT seeking advice or pity, I guess I just wanted to answer questions people have been asking.
