Theatre Bounding

Today I went to see & Juliet in Cardiff incredible Wales Millennium Centre. What an awesome show. The entire cast was outstanding. I am thinking of booking to see it again next week. While I was watching the show an idea came to mind. Now I know there is a thing called Disney Bounding but what about Theatre Bounding. I have decided to make items to sell that link to various shows. I am not going to copy costumes as that infringes the rights of the designers. You see with shows like & Juliet some of the costumes are based on historical garments from my favourite era, Elizabethan. Also you can have fun with fabrics and trim for things based on this show. As soon as my embroidery project is handed in I am going to crack on with this. Plus it will tie in with The Wardrobe Challenge as I can make things for myself as well as to sell.

You see next year I am aiming on having a stall at MusicalCon in London selling my wares. To reach that goal I need to make more theatre based items. Now I have started with some of my buttons on my Etsy but I need to branch out. Plus I want to stop renting and actual buy a home. I cannot do it on my current wages so need to get my side hustle up and running to get that deposit built up. I need to face my fears, stop impersonator syndrome from holding me back and get on with it.

I love doing research and getting my books out. My problem is that I get scared about putting those plans into action. I have suffered with imposter syndrome for years. I want to be able to use my craft to be my main source of income. I want to be able to afford to buy a home of the back of my creations. I know it can be done. I know it is going to be hard work. But I need to do it. Two years ago I lost a job that meant to universe to me. Not only did I loose a job but also I lost people who I saw as family. They are not dead just shit happened. I went to a dark place and it has taken this long to get back to who I was before. Now it is time to level up this person.
