This is ...

ETC, ink

Fractal 2


Favourite colour?

Right now I am loving the rich purples and teals as well as the brighter aquas and you can always soothe everything with a soft antique white.

Favourite smell?

The smell of the ocean. Whether it is a hot humid day with the air standing still or cool winter days that make you want to bundle, nothing beats ocean air.

Nifty: me too!

Favourite place?

Well it would be redundant to say "See above" but... The ocean. More specifically the ocean in winter, deserted beaches, only your foot prints in the sand and then going home to cuddle on the couch with a blanket and a book and the ocean out the window.

Favourite sound?

Thunderstorms. They are of course the most magnificent at the beach, but I can enjoy a good thunderstorm anywhere.

Favourite way to spend your time?

I call them lazy days. You spend all day in your pajamas, eat whatever you want whenever you feel like and if you want to do something productive, you do it.

Favourite item in your shop of all time? My ducks.



I did this piece in college and still have it hanging in my computer room. Just looking at it makes me feel happy.

Favourite shop that isn’t yours?

There are really too many amazing shops to choose from. However when I am hungry I longingly look at Nicole's Homemade Treats. Nifty: don't we all?



What has been the most useful lesson you’ve learnt so far that you’d like to pass on to our readers?

If creating stuff makes you happy then do it. It doesn't matter if you get 1 sale or 100, selling really should come second to creating. There is a perfect balance, but if you get too business minded then you lose sight of why you first started selling. Do what makes you the happiest.

Thanks Erica - what a lovely thought to end with.
