Yes, my feature Friday posts are back!!! This is my first post for the year and I will be scheduling more feature Friday posts throughout 2011. My first featured artisan for the year is Rose of 2kute, a fellow CAST member and the creator of some very cute crocheted items! So let's find out a little about some of her creative journey so far...
Tell us a bit about yourself.
My name is Rose and Etsy is my job. I no longer have a 'dayjob' due to health problems. I found myself home, sick and bored. TV was my friend and companion (along with Bambam, my yorkie), my favorite channel was HGTV and I started to watch craft shows. That is when I decided to go back to crochet.
Describe yourself in five words.
Funny, peace maker, stubborn, perfectionist, optimist.
When and how did you first start crafting/creating?
I started to crochet in my early teens but then life happened, school, marriage, children, career... hen back in 2003 I became ill and had to quit my job. That is when I picked crochet back up again and really delved into it, learning more stitches and techniques
What do you create and what are your favourite materials with which to work?
I crochet pretty much everything and anything, however, my passion is hats. I love making hats. I love the natural fibers - cotton and wool are two of my favorite.
When and how did you start selling online?
I signed for Etsy in January 2008, but I was so afraid to list my items. So it really took me about five to six months to build up the courage to take pictures of what I had made and list them.
Describe your store in five words.
Cool, colorful, warm, cozy, eclectic.
Who or what are the influences behind your creations?
Everything. I can get inspired by the colors in a magazine, or a commercial on TV, nature, flowers. I love flowers.
