There's a finite amount of wallspace in our lives, and none of us have as much money as we'd like to spend on all the awesome art out there - so how about thinking smaller?
Read on to create your own curated collection of small-scale art, and showcase it! It's a great way to show off your tastes, spread some money to artists in an affordable way, and keep your walls fresh at home.

You want to see your friends and family successful in their small business endeavors, but it’s not always easy supporting them. Time, money, energy, all things we don't have much of... But there are lots of different ways you can help, so it may be easier than you think! You may not have the money to spend, or perhaps don't need what they provide, or live too far away to make use of them. But whether your friends and family are illustrators and creators, the car fixers or plasterers, the people who do tattoos or hair, the independent shop owners, the cake bakers and caterers, you can support their small business in quite a few simple ways. Read on for the ideas in full!
(and to find out what makers I've snook into this picture) No New Year resolutions (because they are easily broken by dint of being made mainly from duty) but how about a simple challenge for 2017? One that champions independent makers and retailers? And lasts all year?... Each Friday through 2017 I’ll be sharing a picture on social media shouting about something I have worn, used or consumed that week, which has been made by an indie designer maker, or bought from an indie retailer. This idea was sparked by a fab lady called Sharon. Her personal #frockonfriday challenge has seen Sharon showcase a fabulous series of dresses, often photographed in entertaining ways, and I pondered how I might similarly challenge myself in a fun way. Tidying up my array of earrings, I realised how much jewellery I own is from wonderful independent designers, and decided to broaden my options to include some of the great food, drink and artists I love. I'll make sure each week I wear, use, buy, eat, drink in a way that supports at least one independent - then share the best on Friday! Join in #loveindiefriday2017Interested? You can join in too! Either join me on a weekly Friday update challenge, or just do one Friday a month, or just big up an independent you've supported on whichever Friday you fancy. Use #loveindiefriday2017 on Twitter and Instagram, and hopefully you'll find some new indie loves from what I post. See you on Friday!
