Happy New Year my lovely lovely ladies! If you are reading this before midday 'Well Done' for making it out of bed! If you are reading this after midday, I guess you had a good night last night! lol! Hope no one is suffering too badly from last nights indulgence. I in fact have not posted this this morning, I scheduled it a few days ago. hehe! I am probably still in bed! But I am starting this New Year as I mean to go on! I promised you a lovely giveaway so here it is.
Put your hands in the air if you love Audrey, come on who doesn't!! This 7x5 Black and White print is my first giveaway of 2010. Don't you just love it!
For the month of January I am going to focus on welsh etsy shops and designers, as I am very proud to be Welsh! As always the etsy sellers have agreed to offer a prize and answer my questions. So here is my interview with the wonderful Elisabeth from "The Canvas House' and some pictures of her items!
My name is Elisabeth. I live in Cefn Coed, Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. A stones throw away from the beautiful Brecon Beacons.
2. How long have you been making your designs?
I have been 'crafting it' for the past 3 years and have enjoyed every minute.
3. Why did you name your shop 'The Canvas House'?
I wanted to keep the title of this particular etsy shop simple and decided that thecanvashouse fitted the bill.
4. Whats your favourite materials to work with?
My favourite material to work with are beads of any description, colour and size. The sparklier the better. I have collected quite a lot of them over the past 3 years and have found an additional passion in all vintage jewellery. My husband tells me I like everything!
5. Of your items which is your favourite?
My favourite item at thecanvashouse has to be Audrey in purple as I love the colour of it.
6. Where do you get your inspiration for your designs and also their names?
I love colour and decided to produce an alternative range of simple but classic pop art images to match up to individuals personal decor and tastes.
7. Do you have any formal training or did this start as a hobby?
I am a nurse by trade and like lots of other etsy sellers I design and craft as a hobby.
8. Do you have any favourite etsy shops which you buy from?
There are so many great etsy shops that I have either bought from or I want to own their products. I did treat myself to a fantastic 'twilight' bag from stitchandswash this year when I celebrated a big birthday. Little did I know I would have to pay a not unsubstantial amount of extra money due to the custom charges. It was however well worth it!!
9. whats your dream for 2010?
My dream would be to have the best of both worlds. Pretty much what I have at the moment actually but with a little bit of tweaking!
10 (random question I ask everyone) whats you favourite flower?
The easiest question of all! It's a daffodil, the brightest and sunniest of all flowers.
