Tell us a little about yourself and when did you start crafting?</span><br /></div><div><div><div><div align="left">I'm a 30 year old British artist living in the city of Hull. Animals and nature are my main inspiration, including 'Neo' my cat, being a secondhand-shop-a-holic and travelling about in my husbands 1970s VW Campervan. I have been crafting for most of my life really, drawing and creating characters since I can remember. Art was the only thing I was ever good at in school and wished I was left to only focus on that subject alone :-). In 1999 I gained a HND in Creative Studies at Humberside & Lincoln University, then moved onto fulltime work as a Reprographics Assistant at a local news paper. After 3 years service there, I then moved onto volunteering and freelancing in the community, running arts and media workshops. This then led me onto my current job at a youth council, were I qualified as a nationally qualified youth worker at Hull University in 2007. Here I listen, support and help young people campaign on issues that they are concerned about in there local area.It was only around a year ago that I started crafting properly again, it is hard fitting it all in when you work fulltime. Spending a little less time infront of the box and net is the key to finding more crafting time I think :-)</div><br /><div align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236158040078215362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakVIO4zqiF8gzqoN4dv8uKpiQlqBjub-3cip9vOiQsqCrC08E8kWGifbe6SpRqKnuD-s96b0OK0ulaOtcdMTopLxZYF6aiZKAy0NixWWjNqcamxksGOLfoIEs1QqM5F4Axrlj4KslsDL_/s320/5.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">2. What do you sell in your etsy shop and how long has it been open?</span><br /></div><br /><div align="left">In my shop I currently sell prints of my illustration's, including brooches inspired from my artwork. These illustrations are of eccentric cats called Cattoo, who love their tattoo's 'cat+tattoo=cattoo' :-). I'm not fully sure where the idea came from, I just love cats, enjoy drawing them and having them as pets.Cattoo.etsy offically opened on 28th July 2008, so it's a baby really. I am currently working on some other items, such as tote bags, cards and plush toy cats, so watch this space :-) Through my sales on Etsy I am also raising money for Cats Protection and am a proud member of Etsy for animals ( <a href="http://etsyforanimals.etsy.com/" target="_blank">http://etsyforanimals.etsy.com/</a> )<br /><br /></div></div><div><div align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236157929824793890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_vP21Zpd_-NZ7e_VaC6pmz1KISSUugR7-sWhoOkYpbgm34A-LDO66QcTYlGrh1iGcdudbccwnSUh5Z2VdI9OQp_o_k4WTonzYr3ARnYOB00WYTbZdC5lhfbNc3kF_mvd8Llmibh2mrChB/s320/3.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">3.

Since March I have read 24, I don't think that's too bad, well on target I think! heaven knows how I've done it since I only read on a night for about an hour, must be a fast reader I guess!</p><p></p>Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08101155474545661623noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2757939444928444213.post-1186352655990339782008-07-13T13:30:00.010+01:002008-07-13T13:50:08.304+01:00Interview with Gail of polkadotandpersian<div><div><div><div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">1.

I also had huge collection of beads and making earrings and bracelets was a big hobby. I always planned to go to art college, and for as long as I can remember I wanted to study jewellery design. Which I did, at Edinburgh College of Art. I LOVED it so much and would go back and do it all again if I could. I graduated in 1999 which seems so long ago when I type it out, but it feels like yesterday. After college I exhibited in galleries throughout the UK for a few years but eventually the lure of the wage got me and I started working full time in a proper job, and I stopped be so active making jewellery. Then about 2 years ago I got sick of it, and left my job to train as an aromatherapist. So now I am working part time and doing massage and jewellery part time. I'm skint most of the time and it's hard workbeing self employed twice over, but I have never been happier!<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">2.

Tell us a little about yourself and when did you start crafting.</span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"><br /></span>My name's Heather, I'm a primary teacher but I'm not working at the moment. I started knitting again a few months ago when I'd been off sick for a while - someone suggested it was a really good way to relieve stress, and they're quite right. I used to knit years ago when my kids were small, but hadn't knitted for so long that I'd actually given all my needles away to a charity shop so had to start my collection all over again! I've been an ebay seller for years, so at first I just added my knitted items to my ebay listings.<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219623736208056642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8LwgkdSBf6fG2w258Y7gFwTtjjKsYY-S528mWgzMQ1KWNE9Jcx33C9CfayB9Ly1eXFi06OQJj4cmsupZtZh_EXd_yH-RbQMYuWhuYsUR9CC7JzQj3tbaugTf1VBasfHZfcFPrAF6Z0Th8/s200/pic1.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">2. What do you sell in your etsy shop and how long has it been open?</span><br /></span><span style="color:#ff0000;"><br /></span>My son's girlfriend is an occasional Etsy buyer, she told me about Etsy and said I should open a shop. When I first looked at the range and quality of goods available on Etsy I wasn't sure I was up to it...but she persuaded me to give it a go, and my shop opened on April 28th this year. I sell knitted toys, collectibles, noveltie...even knitted jewelry! I've recently picked up crochet again to add to my repetoire, and have produced a few amigurumi collectibles.<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219623890452883570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii86qk8r-cn2NzMz5f4uoQmtoxAHcH5AxDi-JjH-JAzJAoURmjOmSebkJiPdynRwppZ4EtdRTCMkCZpC4zj5-DboHyWzVXQ3-PCF9JC1ont-0rYvaJzisOCwaLWpt0EKPHC8AdYCqJLt8y/s200/pic2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">3. What is your favourite item in your shop?</span><br /></span><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><br />It changes (my favourite is often the one I am working on at the moment) but overall it wold have to be my fuschias. When I first started knitting again I worked from patterns, but the fuschia was the first time I knitted something from my head without a pattern. I'm very proud of it!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219624010310963074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrBv2Uiy7j6TTXSnCWba6HS40ngA0aP6MVmRZ7Hd9UyAebPGVz-1PtOcQ__ZI9dlsckeUz1ch-T6gMh4LbKTokJp7yIIqdjL-CnUT4LMh4ND8D8cUQ9ixofBUzB1suqPigMkoQT3afYPmV/s200/pic3.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">4.

On a day out I saw the piece of artwork in this photo, I think I'd call it weaving? It was very simple, and very efffective. I've got as far as collecting some long straight sticks (!!!) and thought I'd try to do a gardenscape using my knitted flowers. </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219624187108837874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-9K4M6qh2bR7_ABmNVvd64fjaGzu__NgRWXs0ZRmXyLayzH1wu4bztjllbYXUaF1DUtMYMtjUYSgyG_OpGzLycyATk5We4yIP9ofoyrHJGv4P6EcbHUQsH1KmHUvW7PwBpMQvbnjUzkbM/s200/pic4.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219624267089765426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKOeTla4xtSskN27gHo2y2CTtq2DQN4wg-v1Rz1BJ0yPK_fawFtxhwLo8NEAP0sv1oQN8gGJGcuDd_I2NfQg9jHfuVy8m5_WBvYldUJjoD38WXX1w-XvDkgEZoxXxV2qSraq4zSd1SF2AF/s200/pic5.jpg" border="0" /><span style="color:#ff0000;">5.

I studied design at Uni - specialising in metalwork, jewellery (big body artpieces) and furniture. I've stopped and started a few times over the years. But when I was busy with other projects I always really miss being creative. I started making beaded jewellery about 3 years ago, and just recently started silversmithing again.

I also sell beaded butterflies and flower jewellery,in which I use wonderful Japanese Seed Beads, gemstones and silver.

I really like felted jewellery at the moment, and would like to give that a try, but really welding pieces of lovely steel togetherand bashing hot iron is still my passion, I'd love to start making larger scale metal pieces again.

Tell us a little about yourself and when did you start crafting?</span></div><br /><div>I'm nearly 36 (that thought makes me want to faint!) and have just graduated from University with a BSc though I will probably be going back in September to do my Master's. I started crafting about 10 years ago after teaching myself cross stitch and embroidery, though cross stitch won the day really :)<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215003487262796994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJcwbV7pOEjx5xmiL-OwnODr0Co6ZSQiecbttSlCnVRs814m_HAde0sT-44y0krGPq7tLsJTFzjnXG2V0w3Li6pakbBV4-oNW5UhlhQCCC2dBPCeQTjC6MY0nUBzB3yAq_9GdnFnWnF8l0/s320/anemones+bookmark.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">2. What do you sell in your etsy shop and how long has it been open?</span></div><br /><div>I sell cross stitched items in my shop, mainly bookmarks, needlecases, scissorfobs,purses and spectacle cases etc. I like practical things and at the moment I'm working through my huge stash of kits in the hope that I can get round to designing my own things. My etsy shop has been open since the end of March 2008 and I've been selling since the 6th of April this year. So far it's going quite well!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215002726257817010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZqlLu_e_X5qri7S_3m1i3KmwdzRIhVuzvwKbWG7uIDymEpZyWG-I9r73JwKIpprzvvpjBm_rwnDG7NOHBzpQxG7L5y7kJ2mdP0OuEV6v9Hg5JV4o44_ggMoeDOS08tneb0w-uETUCtvuk/s320/Bluetits+needlecase+and+pincushion.JPG" border="0" /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">3. What is your favourite item in your shop?</span></div><br /><div>Ooo that's a toughie! I think my favourite is probably the Orange Blossom needlecase and scissorfob set, although it was hard to stitch and I did get fed up with it as the colours are quite similar.<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12353141"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215002548609057266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTCqkHxYW8FqoxKBGBpCT2UNJasSUn1Dn5Rb-M6Vh_L7uAfKv6koPBI8Ork8FhscgCz91OYVLd3VsKtUsumAMxvg8P5rRq7R6oXdWiM46E7VsLC-cEdZOiiqQJZZf5AYP-zE8MM5IRqHIY/s320/orange+blossom+needlecase+and+scissor+keep.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">4. What other craft would you like to try? </span></div><br /><div>There are so many other crafts I'd like to try! I'd love to get the hang of crochet, I've been trying for years but so far it's not been a roaring success. I'd also love to try silversmithing and make my own jewellery too.<br /></div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12534806"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215004007771762450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9zcxeHXVU_dafXqvhjuHwAHDrnIn-tA9WlHshlj4Z3t947y0qghwJn-PRRbRdHbURQJKDmekN7_xx4BldfPMOj-AW1IZswMqUk1f-EZhBPpJ_5yh1uy1nUwi8Tt6-xBYueW4VgSQ3ERW8/s320/Celtic+Bird+Spectacle+Case.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">5.
