Favourite smell?
My baby’s neck

Giggles from my three girls
Favourite way to spend your time?
Watching a movie in a theater
Favourite item in your shop of all time?
Why?
The Arabic writing is from an old economics book that belonged to my dear baba (dad in Arabic). I love that I’m taking a part of him and sharing it with the rest of the world. He was a teacher before retiring and it just makes my heart sing to use an element of his culture and language in my artwork.
Favourite shop that isn’t yours?
Portable Graffiti
At the time of writing, PortableGraffiti has around 1500 button badges for sale!
Why?
I love her passion for Zibbet and always promoting it. She is so involved in helping other sellers and always posting and selling. As a mom of two, she finds time for her work and has such a passion for it.
What has been the most useful lesson you’ve learnt so far that you’d like to pass on to our readers?
Connect with your community! Get to know your fellow artists, promote their shop on Twitter (by using #zibbetlove), visit their shops, buy from them, give them pointers to improve their wording, photos, bios, etc. If you see someone stumble, lend a hand to pick them up. We can all succeed if we help each other!
