This month at Mt Eden, one of my regular craft markets, I’m going to have a go at face painting! I’ve done a little bit before, helping out Fairy Jane at Parnell Trust, but I thought this would be a fun addition to the market.

I feel like I’m diversifying a LOT this year, but in some ways I had planned for it. The main reason I didn’t choose the title ‘children’s author’ or ‘author’ (except in context) is to allow myself to explore and experiment without having to build a whole new website – and everything else that goes with it.

So I’m allowing myself to have fun with things, and see where they lead. It’s as good a method as any!
