Hello dear friends.
Eid Mubarak to all of you who celebrate Ramadan. I hope you had a blessed month. As of now, I have already consumed more caffeine than I should have… but I am trying to pace myself!!
Updates about my life. I finished my scarf. Yay!!!.. It took me fOUR LONG months. But it was so much fun making it and it had so many delicate details. I LOVED every second of it. Here is an image of it.
Ladoo Ladoo update: I also have been making more cards for my shop Ladoo Ladoo. And sending marketing emails to potential buyers. It is sooooo hard to find buyers when you are not a salesy kinda person. I grew up with the notion of ‘make yourself small and ‘don’t talk about yourself’ which is not exactly healthy but now the over-sharing era of social media where we know everyone’s every thought and what they are eating, wearing, and going is another extreme. I keep hearing that I need to talk about myself, my story, my art as a brand, etc. Starting this newsletter was a way to find a balance and now I am trying to do the same in my email marketing approach. OK for the sake of marketing here are three new cards I made for Mother’s Day
you can buy them from my website if you want.. no pressure ofcourse. The link is <www.ladooladoo.com>
Ramadan Thoughts
I have been drawing super simple and lots of flowers. Here are some pages from my sketchbook. Enjoy!
Very nice post! You are creative and hard working for both your family and your artistic endeavors. Great work on the scarf and getting your website up!
I hope you are continuing to be kinder to yourself. It is super important.
