    E107: Should Artists Use AI? Creativity, Ethics and Finding Your Boundaries

    Send us your feedback AI can save creative business owners time—but what happens when it begins replacing the creativity customers believe they are buying? In this solo episode, Kaylie shares how her relationship with AI has changed since generative tools first became widely available.  What began as curiosity and excitement has become a much more complicated mix of practical support, ethical questions and genuine frustration. Kaylie explores the difference between using AI to reduce repetitive business tasks and using it to generate the artwork, products or creative identity at the centre of a business.  She also discusses the flood of AI-generated colouring books, clip art, videos and other products appearing across creative marketplaces—and why context, transparency and creative authorship matter. In this episode:  Why the novelty of generative AI has worn off for Kaylie  How mass-produced AI content affects artists, makers and illustrators  The difference between AI-assisted business tasks and AI-generated creative products  Why solo business owners and large companies cannot always be judged in the same way  How Kaylie currently uses AI for planning, automation, writing support and repetitive tasks  The questions she asks before using AI within her own creative process  Why human imperfections, decisions and developing skills still hold value  How creatives can establish personal AI boundaries without choosing an extreme position This is not an episode telling you which side to choose.  It is an honest conversation about changing your mind, questioning your tools and protecting the part of your creative work that can only come from you. Listen, reflect and share the episode with another artist, handmade seller or digital creator navigating their own relationship with AI.

    E106: AI-Generated vs AI-Assisted Art: What Creators and Customers Need to Know

    Send us your feedback What happens when artwork you created yourself is suddenly labelled as AI? In this episode, Kaylie and Delores explore the increasingly complicated difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted creative work.  They discuss reports of Instagram adding AI information labels to content edited with Canva’s background remover, why a single label can misrepresent hours of genuine creative work, and the effect that misunderstanding can have on an artist’s reputation. They also have an honest conversation about where they personally draw the line with generative AI.  Is using an AI-generated image for a temporary marketing graphic different from selling generated artwork as your own?  Does every use need to be disclosed?  And how can small creative businesses make practical choices without dismissing the genuine concerns surrounding consent, copyright, creative jobs and trust? Kaylie and Delores also explore why visibly human design—complete with wobbly lines, handmade marks and imperfect details—may become even more valuable as generated content becomes easier to produce. In this episode: • The difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted work • Why Instagram’s AI labels can mislead customers • How Canva’s automated tools may trigger AI information labels • The difference between creative authorship and automated editing • Using generated imagery for marketing versus products for sale • The pressure placed on solo creative business owners • Why context, transparency and kindness matter • Etsy’s evolving approach to originality, digital products and AI • Why handmade and visibly human design may become more valuable • Practical ways artists can share their process without constantly defending themselves This is not an episode about choosing a side and shouting at everyone on the other one.  It is an honest, nuanced conversation about creativity, technology, trust and the human beings trying to navigate the messy space between them. Listen now, share the episode with another artist, maker, author or creative business owner, and let us know where you draw the line between AI assistance and AI generation.

    E105: From Etsy Seller to Licensed Artist: Katie McEachern’s Creative Career

    Send us your feedback What if the creative experiments that didn’t become your forever business were never wasted? In this episode of The Creative Juggle Joy, Delores talks with artist and surface pattern designer Katie McEachern about the winding path that took her from running a successful Etsy shop to pursuing a focused career in art licensing. Katie shares how her early handmade business helped her rediscover her identity after becoming a mother and taught her entrepreneurship through hands-on experience.  She also discusses working in product development, creating a portfolio of work that belonged to her, experimenting with print-on-demand and Spoonflower, and eventually securing her first fabric licensing contract with Figo Fabrics. The conversation also explores the personal side of creative work, including grief, changing energy levels and learning to build a business that can evolve alongside your life. If you’re an artist, handmade seller or digital creator who feels as though everyone else has their career mapped out, Katie’s story is a thoughtful reminder that clarity often comes from trying, learning and following the clues along the way.

    E104: Why the Invisible Work in Your Creative Business Matters

    Send us your feedback Running a creative business often looks beautifully polished from the outside.  A new class appears, a newsletter lands in your inbox, a product launches or a finished collection is shared—but what about all the thinking, practising, planning and problem-solving that happened behind the scenes? In this reflective solo episode, Delores shares what returning from a family camping holiday taught her about rest, creativity and the invisible work that keeps a creative business moving.  From practising hand lettering beside the lake to reconsidering ideas for her upcoming Five Card Challenge, she explores why unfinished projects, changed plans and quiet thinking time are never truly wasted. In this episode, Delores talks about:  Why creating without a commercial purpose still matters  The hidden preparation involved in taking time away from a creative business  What working with a creative team actually looks like  Why successful businesses aren’t perfectly organised every day  How stepping away can help you ask better questions  Why abandoned ideas and unfinished work still have value  The relationship between rest, clarity and creativity  Building a business around real life—not the other way around If you’ve been measuring your creativity only by what you finish, publish or sell, this episode is a gentle reminder to recognise all the valuable work nobody else sees.  Listen to the episode, share it with a creative friend who might need the reminder and support.  Support the show  Don't miss an episode—subscribe to The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast!

    E103: Beyond Social Media: Build an Audience You Can Actually Reach

    Send us your feedback What would happen to your creative business if Instagram suddenly stopped showing your work, your Etsy traffic dropped or your account disappeared into the algorithm abyss? Social media can still be brilliant for helping new people discover your art, products and ideas—but it was never designed to carry the full weight of your business. In this solo episode, Kaylie explores how artists, handmade sellers, digital creators and creative educators can build a calmer, more resilient marketing system that doesn’t depend entirely on constantly posting. She introduces a simple three-layer visibility system. You’ll also hear practical examples of how this system can work for artists, makers, digital product sellers and creative educators—without building a complicated funnel or trying to be everywhere at once. Take Kaylie’s free two-minute quiz to discover how exposed your business may be to an algorithm change and receive one clear recommendation for what to strengthen next: https://spellweavercreativestudio.co.uk/borrowed-vs-owned-quiz/ If this episode helps you look at your marketing differently, follow the podcast, leave a review or share it with another creative business owner.

    E102: How Hannah Nunn Turned Nature-Inspired Art into a Thriving Product Business

    Send us your feedback What does it really take to build a creative business that lasts for more than 20 years without losing the joy that made you start? In this episode of The Creative Juggle Joy Podcast, Kaylie is joined by artist, designer and maker Hannah Nunn.  From her studio in Hebden Bridge, Hannah creates nature-inspired paper-cut lighting, botanical wallpaper, decorative window film, journals and delicate laser-cut treasures. Hannah shares how her business began with handmade paper-cut cards, why she eventually moved away from products that weren’t financially sustainable and how one idea led to another—from lighting and wholesale relationships to opening a gallery, designing wallpaper and building a product range rooted in the natural world. This is also an honest conversation about burnout, rebuilding after a devastating studio fire, creating a business around your energy and choosing a definition of success that doesn’t rely on endless growth. If you’re building an art, handmade or digital creative business and wondering how to grow without turning it into something you no longer enjoy, this conversation offers plenty of honest encouragement.

    E101: What Creative Business Growth Really Looks Like Behind the Scenes

    Send us your feedback What does creative business growth actually look like behind the sales figures, launches and exciting announcements? In this episode, Kaylie and Delores take you behind the scenes of Delores Art during the launch of Mastering Surface Pattern Design in Affinity Designer.  They share how consistent email marketing, connected offers, better systems and years of experimenting helped Delores grow her email list from around 1,742 subscribers to more than 12,500. They also talk honestly about the less visible side of growth: customer support, replay requests, coupon problems, technology mishaps, late-night emails, busy launch seasons and the recovery time that needs to come afterwards. Kaylie also reflects on what quieter growth has looked like inside her own business through client work, skill building, creative projects and getting her first greeting card onto Card Isle. Whether you’re an artist, handmade seller, creative educator or digital creator, this conversation will help you recognise the progress happening underneath the surface of your business. Listen to the episode and let us know: are you currently experiencing visible growth, or are you in a quieter foundation-building season?
