Thank you @womencreativeschat !!! I love this beautiful creative and ladyboss, who is also my friend and sister! You are a huge reason why @carriagehouseheiress is even here. Your inspiration, motivation and encouragement have helped me through the tough times of entrepreneurship. Thank you for the feature and God Bless you! XO ~M . @Regran_ed from @womencreativeschat - 🎉 Kicking off our #MeetMakerMonday series featuring beautiful work of Michelle “Chel” Dowell (@cheldowell). She is an amazing maker and mama, and more than a bestie - a sister - whose perseverance, talent and creativity inspire me. Read on below to learn more about the beauty behind @carriagehouseheiress (handcrafted adult tutus): ✨ I absolutely love inciting the use of the imagination, especially for adults. I see my tutus as wearable art that women can use to express themselves. From a cosplayer, to an expectant momma, to a fahionista celebrating a birthday, my tutus allow my customers to dream big and celebrate their inner child. Imagination is beautiful, wild and free, so with each new design I create I want to push the creative envelope. ✨ I have found that over the years as a creative and entrepreneur the most difficult factor is staying inspired and driven during the difficult times. Success isn't easily attaained and even though I have a passion to make, I also desire to be successful. There are seasons where you may not see as many sales come through your shop, and that can. ✨ I think knowing your "why" behind creating and staying focused on servng others through your art is key to overcoming feelings of doubt. If God gives you the gift to create and the desire for entrepreneurship, your dream will be realized, we just have to keep going! ✨ What is next for Chel, creator of @carriagehouseheiress: “My creative future holds so many adventures! In addition to designing clothing, I am also an actress, so I have several fun projects in theater and film that are set to debut early next year.” 💓 Walk In Your Creative Power, ⠀ E ⠀ Founder ⠀ Women Creatives Chat⠀ Centering Wellness // Empowering Women // Connecting Us Authentically ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #womencreativeschat #meetthemakermonday #handcraf https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSgQ7NF3Dm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l1evyhegit3i
