Interview

My friend, Jussara, kindly asked if she could feature me and my store in her blog. I, of course, happily agreed. She then threw out a few questions for me to answer since I had abrain freeze and didn't know what to share about myself. Thought I would copy and paste the interview here so you can get to know a little more about me and how my this business venture came about.

Please check out Jussara's wonderful blog! She does *great* job of keeping it current and interesting: The Creative Corner

She also has two awesome stores on Etsy:
www.BrazilDesigns.etsy.com and www.SpaTherapy.etsy.com

I've purchased several pieces of jewelry from her, and it's even more gorgeous in person and of great quality. I've also tried her soap, and it smells soooo good!



MY INTERVIEW:

Shop name:
Designs By Janna

What do you create?
When I opened my Etsy store in May 2007, I primarily sell two very different types of items: hair accessories and custom graphic designs. As each day passes, I am creating and offering even more hair accessories, jewelry, and custom graphic designs (including birth announcements, invitations, photo collages, greeting cards) in addition to other fun accessories for women, young children, and pets. I also have plans to begin selling whimsical home decor in the near future.

What do you love creating the most and why?
While I love creating everything that I sell, my favorites would have to be graphic designs. I absolutely love working with computers and photos, so designing various things in Photoshop is a blast. I enjoy the challenge of coming up with new designs and satisfying customers who are looking for unique designs to fit their taste.

What inspires you?
I am inspired by so many things, and it's hard to say what inspires me because it really depends on the type of art/craft I'm working on. Obviously, my son and loved ones inspire me a great deal. I'm also inspired by everything from friends, memories, dreams, colors, fabrics, poems, articles, and pictures to the seasons of the year and my mood that particular day. I find inspiration wherever possible.
