Today's featured artist is Robin of Robin's Flight. Robin is a fellow CAST member who creates fun and colourful crocheted bags and wallets. We also discovered a similarity in our working backgrounds! Let's see what she had to say about herself and her art...
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I live in Livonia (Detroit area), Michigan, USA. I've been in this area for 12 years now. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful kids, ages 5 and 2. Before I had kids, I did cancer research.
Describe yourself in 5 words.
Creative, resourceful, wife and mother
When and how did you first start crafting/creating?
My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was 8, and my mother to sew shortly after that. I picked up the crochet again while looking for a job after grad school. I started with afghans, but moved to bags and other smaller projects that took less time.
What do you create and what are your favourite materials with which to work?
I make crocheted bags and purses that are fully lined with fabric. I put in zipper pockets and other intricacies which make them more useful and durable. I usually use cotton yarn, and pretty fabrics that catch my eye.
When and how did you start selling online?
I started my etsy shop exactly a year ago.
