I was able to buy a box with 13 handmade mates sold by a craftsman friend I met in my old city. I also bought several pots of acrylic paint, brushes, hairspray, and different colored light bulbs.

The order for the mates took about 2 weeks to arrive at my house and the wait seemed eternal, because I couldn't wait to start painting right away and see what would happen next.

As soon as they arrived, I got down to work. I received 2 custom orders and when I finished with them, more and more orders began to arrive. Painting is something that I am passionate about and at the same time it brings me a lot of harmony and well, as soon as I have free time I do it without hesitation. While I have breakfast, at nap time and even at dawn when I can't sleep.

Not only do I make custom mattes, I also make designs of my own and trying not to repeat any so that the client knows that their matte will be unique.

So far I have sold 7 custom mattes and thanks to this, I can now invest again. I contacted my craftsman friend to ask him for another box with 13 mates, but in addition, I have also commissioned him sugar and herb boxes to create complete kits.

I have been creating my brand logo that I will share with you later. Tomorrow I will go to print the cards, buy boxes and I will also go through the mail to find out the information I need to make the shipments.

I am very happy and surprised at how well everything is turning out, at the sales I have already made, although I have not promoted them yet (I am in the process of creating a page on Instagram to promote them from there).
