Featured Artist of the Month

This month's featured artist is Hallie Borden of Chicago. I got a chance to interview her and ask her about her beautiful collection of hand-knitted accessories for everyone. Here is what she had to say...

What type of artwork do you do?
I knit! Mostly hats, scarflettes and headbands. I am always throwing new things in there everyone now and then.

How long have you been creating?
A few years sporadically and a few months consistently.

How much time do you spend working on your craft?
It depends on how much business I am generating. If my shop is busy, I don't stop knitting. If it's slow, sometimes I go days without picking up the needles. (Sad days.)

What inspires you to create?
I love the look of odd colors matched together. Combination's that seem like they would be off, but you can't stop staring. So, I guess just looking at all of the colors of yarn I have and moving them around is inspiring to me.

Do you have a designing process?
If I do, it's haphazard. It mostly involves making a mess of all my supplies.

Where do you do your creating?
In my living room, on the couch!

Have you always been artsy?
I don't know if I've always been artsy, but I've always been crafty. I recently found a stash of about 100 terrifying pipe-cleaner and Styrofoam dolls I made as a youngster.

Do you have another job?
Oh yes, I have a few other jobs. I am a busy bee.

Where do you sell your pieces?
On Etsy and to my friends and family.

Do you enjoy what you do?
I really do. It's both soothing and exhilarating and I just love watching a simple ball of yarn turn into something beautiful.

Do you have a favorite piece in your shop?
That's a toughy. I think maybe this hat: Click Here To View It turned into something really different than I was expecting, but I still like it. I love that sometimes my own work can surprise me.

Do you have a blog set-up?
No, but that may change soon!

Just Dance Digital Collage Sheet

Who Gives Another Hoot =)

As per request. I have created another version of the Who Gives a Hoot collage sheet like the one in my below post. This time I did it in a variety of colours. You can check it out if you'd like. Just thought I'd share that latest of what I've been working on. Click Here To View

Who Gives A Hoot =)

Here is my latest project I've been working on. A new digital collage sheet. Don't you just love these little owls, they're so cute? I really loved working with these colors. They just work so well together. Digital collage sheets can be used for many different craft projects, such as scrapbooking, glass and tile jewelry, magnets, cards, tags and so much more. Each image measures 1x1" inches square. They are great for making scrabble tile pendants. Just print the collage and adhere to your scrabble tile pendant and glaze over with diamond glaze. I just love it. To find my collage sheet you can view my shop and check out my digital collage sheet listings!
