Streamlining and working it all out


 

So, for almost as long as I’ve been on the internet I’ve used almost exclusively the Disruptivegirl name, and not too long ago I added Cat Hair Tea to my pile of online aliases and even as a shop name. 

Well, that would probably be great if I sold tea, or even tea accessories, but as I did my research I realized consumables were more of a hassle to sell than I was prepared for… I’m much more of a crafter and mixed media artist anyway, so I decided to stick with what I know.

One thing that has been pretty steady and stable in my life despite some lengthy pauses is my podcast, Twisted States.

I’ve finally decided to stop playing around and start streamlining things, it’s time to finally pick my niche(s).

Okay, I know, but one isn’t quite enough, so I decided to work on narrowing down my brand and focusing on just a couple things that compliment each other.

Firstly, a podcast (Twisted States Podcast) diving in and discussing all of my favorite creepy, mysterious topics, then a YouTube channel (DisruptiveGirl) where I can share my process for creating miniatures and crafts focused around those topics, and last, but not least, a shop (Twisted States) to share those items and give my audience and friends a chance to purchase those items so I will have more money and space to keep creating.

I think this will work well… or at least hope so anyway!

I also have a Patreon where I will be sharing more behind the scenes of all of it and offer one on one time for questions, patterns, and crafting lessons to anyone interested.

Anyway, thanks for hanging in there, be sure to check out Twistedstates.com for all things Ragen, as well as @disruptivegirl on YT and Instagram.

What I've been up to


Hello! I know it's been a while, but I'm rambling again!
I've been busy putting things together and trying to create some kind of cohesive thoughts to share, but that's not always the easiest for me.
The photos you see here are of some adorable dinosaur dioramas I made at a workshop taught by the awesome Alison Nevile @Alisondneville on Instagram at @officeofcollecting. The Office of Collecting and Design is a magical little place and a must-see when visiting Las Vegas. 
This was the second workshop I attended at the Office of Collecting with the first being the Spam can diorama, also taught by Alison.

Needless to say, I am now addicted, I've always loved learning, and I'm a bit of a workshop junkie, but the setting of the Office of Collecting just makes it that much more enjoyable and fun.
So, my suggestion to you is to start doing some research, check your local library, Eventbrite, Meetup, FB Events, etc... and go learn something new, it's a great way to support your community and maybe pick up a new hobby, or even career path. Have fun, learn stuff, be awesome!

See you next time!
