Busy Bee...





Ive been a busy bee making lots of stuff for my label 'Wild & Beautiful'. Mostly I have to make a ton of bibs as they are my best seller and easy money-maker but every other week I try and give myself a little time to create something new and have a little play around. This week I made a series of 8 t-shirts. I haven't made any new t-shirts for ages, mostly because they take so long and I can never sell them for enough to justify the amount of work that goes into them. I really enjoyed playing around with the fabrics, all those patterns, colours and textures, there's nothing I love more! Here are the pics I took from the first stage of creation. It's also my favorite stage, where I get to lay out and create the initial designs...

Something's Gotta Change...






It's been six months since my last exhibition and indeed, since I last created a body of art work. After I started my 'business' in October, juggling that with being a mother has pretty much consumed me. Even last night, my first planned night out in months and months, I fell asleep before the night had even begun. Or indeed before I had even left the house. Art, exercise, writing and me time has all gone to pot and something's gotta change! Life is too short...

Aby mackie on Etsy

This is a selection my work that went into my previous exhibition. I'm really looking forward to moving on...a new camera to play with and a few ideas floating about! I really want to get back to my textile roots- embroidery, vintage fabrics, recycling and upcycling and collage...

Elqui started Nursery last week so I am trying
to get my Etsy shops up and running as quickly
as possible! Really excited about it. Today I've
been trying to fill the shops up and have been
working on the limited edition archival prints of
my work from my recent exhibition. Its nice to
be able to offer a more affordable alternative to
buying the originals. The prints will be available
as of tomorrow at; www.abymackie.etsy.com
each one is signed, dated and numbered (limited
editions of only 25)
