#MarchMeetTheMaker is an annual Instagram challenge organised by Joanne Hawker (designer, illustrator and Somerset Etsy Team Captain). It's a chance for makers to share their story and be part of a community for the month of March and give your social media a boost in the process. Lots of the Dundee Etsy Team took part so we thought we'd share a few snapshots on here.

This month I’m taking part in #marchmeetthemaker by @joannehawker . Each day throughout the month of March (hopefully) I will share information with you about me, my work and my small business. Day 1 on the list is my favourite thing to make - for me this has to be my paintings. I enjoy painting colourful, playful characters and abstract worlds. My work is quite feminine and dreamy and I tend to work with gouache and acrylic paint. □ #marchmeetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2019 #coramantic #art #artist #painting #illustration #artwork #instaart #etsydundee

I’ll be taking part in #marchmeetthemaker by @joannehawker the 1st prompt is #favouritetomake □ I love it when customers put their own spin on my products. Did you know that my cassette tape necklace can be customised in any colour your heart desires? Just look for the ‘custom colours’ in the drop down menu and add in the notes which colours you would like. This one was made for @superspectrumgirl and if you follow her (it’s highly recommended) you’ll know these colours are very ‘on brand’ □□. Also @cursedsummon very kindly whipped up the background for me on photoshop thank you! . . . . #meetthemaker2019 #etsydundee #meetthemakerchallenge #favouriteproduct #cassettetapes #customise #commissions #80saesthetic #90kids #greenandpink #lasercutacrylic #acrylicjewellery #plasticjewellery #lasercutart #supportsmallbusiness #communityovercompetition #scottishdesigner #retroaesthetic #bemoreweird #wearetheweirdosmister

I’m going in! The Instagram challenge #marchmeetthemaker @joannehawker. This will definitely help me to post more! Day 1 is favourite to make. I love making our very popular cigar boxes. Seeing the lovely personalisations is amazing and knowing something we’ve made is a part of someone’s big day is very heartwarming □ #shopsmall #laserorigins #dundee #etsy #etsyshop #etsysellers #smallbiz #wedding #love #personalised #weddinggifts #usher #bestman #groomsman #tuxedo #weddingparty #etsydundee

Sorry I've been falling behind again! Day 16 of #marchmeetthemaker is workspace. My little JillyJilly studio is in our home but I try and keep it separate so I can close the door at the end of the day. I've been feeling like I need a bit of a rejig though â–¡

So, this month I’m going to attempt to join in with @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker and the first prompt is Favourite to Make. I am terrible at making decisions like this but I will commit to saying that anything neon is my fave □□ I’m looking forward to checking out everyone else who’s taking part! And also, how is it March already?! • • • #Handmade #nineangels #etsyuk #funfashion #thatsdarling #creativelifehappylife #colourpop #wearableart #pursuepretty #handmadeisbetter #handmadelife #handmadejewellery #etsyseller #shopsmall #shopindie #ethicalfashion #veganstyle #veganfashion #whatveganswear #rainbow #weartherainbow #colourpop #colourfullife #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #ihsetsy #imadethis #etsydundee #iheartscotland

Day 2 of #marchmeetthemaker 〰️ How it all started ✏️. It all started as a child. This is a photo of my first set of watercolour pencils. They are well over 30 years old now and I remember the day my dad bought them for me. I was very excited that you could use water with pencils to paint. They were very expensive and as we never had much money, these were a luxury to be treasured. I’ve drawn for as long as I can remember and would spend hours drawing in my sketchbook. I went on to study at #djcad and since graduating I’ve worked in a variety of art related jobs whilst continuing to develop my own illustration work. #supportsmallbusiness #creativecommunity #makersrevolution #meetthemaker #illustrator #illustration #scottishillustrator #brawillustrations #cuteillustration #childhood #80s #tonyhart #colouredpencils #nostalgia #scotland #dundee #colourful #creative

This year I’m taking part in @joannehawker ‘s challenge #marchmeetthemaker Day 4 is “Tools & Materials” . I think If I attempted to gather all my hoarded art materials together it would make me cry hah. So here is some to represent areas of my tools of creativity. My camera, notebook, paper, paintbrushes, paint pens, ink and sharpie markers □ . #marchmeetthemaker2019 #tools #materials #eilidhmorrisart #eilidhmorris #dundee #artist #artistlife #artistmaterials #posca #toolsandmaterials #meetthemaker #behindthescenes #writer #artist #writingcommunity #writing #artislife #abstractart #etsydundee #sharpies #abstractpainting @etsydundee
