2012 WRAP UP!

Like many other artists, it was my time to leave my routine job and start doing what I love! So knowing nothing about how to do a business and having a great passion for design, I started my Business "KINETIC PATTERNS"

Having full support of my parents and my loving husband, I did my first ROSE Street market in  April 2012. Apparently, I had no sale for first two markets but got to learn alot. Discussing with fellow Artisans and understanding what customer wants, I kept experimenting with my designs and understood the business concept.

There are many Artist Markets all over Australia for emerging designers like myself. One thing I learned from my experience from these markets is that you can never predict!   Sales depends on number of factors like the time of the year, people coming in, weather, location. So trying different markets in Melbourne, Sydney & Canberra gave me an insight to wider audience.

I did -YOUNG BLOOD DESIGNERS MARKET in Sydney on 27,28,29 July,
        - FINDERS KEEPRS in Melbourne on 19,20 October
        - HANDMADE MARKET in Canberra on 29,30 Sept & 8,9 Dec
        - Xmas Craft and Gift FAIR in Adelaide on 1,2 dec
        - NORTH MELBOURNE market on 14th dec
        - SISTER's MARKET in QV on 20,21 dec
    and ROSE STREET MARKET almost every weekend.


Well, I have just started and apart from all the pain & stress, I received lot of appreciation for my work which made everything worthwhile.

So 2012 has ended and a new year has begun, all I want to say now is THANK YOU!
Thank you everyone for all the kind words and support. This makes me a proud ARTIST :-)
