Magical Mushrooms!
I don't really know where it came from but the Magical Mushrooms were born with that very first clock. The pink and dark blue background with the matching shrooms around the edge like a fairy ring and little doors even bunting and lamps.
Some of my very first mushroom art, the birth of the Magical Mushroom range
When I first started my business back in 2010 I was a card maker only. I was supplying cards to 8 different outlets around the Island but soon got itchy fingers to try other things.
I'd always loved painting but had no training and didn't think it was good enough to sell. I stumbled across someone teaching a technique called one stroke painting and suddenly it all fell into place. I fell in love with the style and so did all my customers. I soon found the card making had taken a back seat and painting flowers on home decor was now my main business. My stall was flourishing and online sales were doing well.
I joined Facebook very late in the game, about 6 years after starting my business and one of the things I found I loved doing were themed online markets. Late in 2017 I was thinking about my next theme, Moonlight, Magic and Madness. Right up my street having a huge love of fantasy of every type but this hadn't really filtered through to my makes...yet! I was thinking about doing a clock, something that had become a bit of a speciality. Looking around my room my eye suddenly fell on some of my mushroom ornaments!
I don't really know where it came from but the Magical Mushrooms were born with that very first clock. The pink and dark blue background with the matching shrooms around the edge like a fairy ring and little doors even bunting and lamps.
The clock went nuts on my Facebook page and anywhere I showed it so I made a few more things in the same design and the event was a sell out! Since then mushrooms have taken over my life! Now available in many different colours, shapes and sizes and on all sorts of things they are my best selling range and something I love doing.
My confidence has grown in doing my own artwork and more fantasy ranges like my unicorns have also been added now. I will always love doing florals but fantasy art is where my heart lies.
