The Home Gnome: When Creatives Congregate…

Kristy Fae

This little monster went to the market,
That little monster stayed home,
This little monster had so much fun,
That little monster had none!
This little monster went
“Wee, wee, wee”
All the way Gnome…

The monsters and I are gearing up for our next exciting event, a Winter Art Market, and we are shouting, “Wee wee wee!” in anticipation!

The Community Art Market is taking place on SUNDAY NOVEMBER 26, from 1:00-5:00pm, at the Fernwood Community Centre, 1240 Gladstone Ave. Entry is free, so if you’re in the Victoria BC area, drop by and say, “Hi!” to us at the Art of Nonsense booth.

We’ll have for sale our beloved stickers, magnets, Beanbag Buds, art prints and puppets! And we’ll be introducing some Home Gnomes (one variation depicted above) just in time for the Holiday Season! They’re sure to bring a little pop of colour and joy into your home…or the home of whomever they are gifted to…

Visit the Greater Victoria Social Gathering Place website or their Facebook Event for more details. Thanks to Island Community Mental Health and Greater Victoria Social Gathering Place Society for making this event possible. We’re so grateful to have organizations like this supporting mental health, wellness & recovery in our community.

Come on down and support local artists as they come together to celebrate creativity and the joys of this season!

The Fire-Bottomed Beast: Achieving Your Goals

Kristy Fae

Happy Monster Monday everyone! I hope the last few weeks were creative and interesting ones. In case anyone was wondering where we were last week, I wanted to let you know that while we try to keep up every Monday, we sometimes let one slide. You know, life gets busy, health takes priority, art events suddenly pop up to prepare for…

Wait, what!? Yes, you heard me! The Art of Nonsense Monster Workshop has been buzzing with preparations for a local event showcasing the work of local talent on August 21st. Feel free to check out our Facebook Event for more info if you’re going to be in the Victoria B.C. area or if you just want some sneak peaks of new products we are working on (before they ever even make it to the online store)! Be sure to follow our Facebook Page which always posts updates and other inspirational content.

Anyway, there is definitely something to be said about having a fire lit beneath one’s bottom. The monsters and I have not been this focussed for ages, and I thought it was a good reminder for those of you with burning passions and dreams of your own waiting to be fulfilled: find a way to light the fire (safely)! For myself, I definitely work better with deadlines that are not controlled by me. If that’s your case too, find a contest to submit to, ask a friend or colleague to be your accountability partner, or find a way to have rewards attached to smaller goals? Whatever it is that works for you— work it darlings, if you can, and let me know how it went for you and what you ended up completing! I’ll be posting my results here in the upcoming weeks…until then, continue to Follow Your Creativity!
