Monday Marvels: Smiss00
Recently I had the chance to sit down with Jennifer aka Smiss of Simply Smiss on Artfire, Simply Smiss on Facebook. We had a very nice chat here is what came out of it.
How did you come up with the name of your shop?
I am Smiss, and I just do what I enjoy.
What Kind of items do you sell?
Hair accessories and Curious Cross Stitch
What inspires you?
My friends, Sci-fi, Comics, Video Games
I really like the items you make, how did you learn to make them?
I learned the hair accessories through tutorials. My Aunt Dorothy taught me how to cross stitch in 5th grade.
You make all these great pieces, it must be hard to pick a favorite, do you have an all time favorite?
I could not possibly choose one item that is my favorite, do you have a favorite?
Why did you choose this type of craft?
I like the whimsy of the hair clips, and being able to make just about whatever kind that I want. And I like the structure of Cross Stitch.
Is there anything else we should know about you?
I am an avid fan of animal and I donate a portion of my sales to help animal rescue groups.
These are some of my favorite items that Smiss has made
Curious George Oversize Clips

Monday Marvels: Mothers Love
Recently I had the chance to sit down with Natasha of Mother's Love Jewelery. We had a very nice chat here is what came out of it.
How did you come up with the name of your shop?
I started the studio as a way to spend more time with my little man. I had decided to stay home from work and as a ways of keeping myself busy, I thought I'd start my own shop.
What Kind of items do you sell?
Earrings, Rings, Necklaces, pendants, custom items
What inspires you?
Nature is a big inspiration. I love the way a season's colors can be represented in a certain piece. Love is another big inspiration. Romantic jewelry is my favorite. The way a certain pair of earrings can make you feel beautiful....that's what I aim for.
I really like the items you make, how did you learn to make them?
I fiddled around until I figured out what I was doing. You-Tube videos and tutorials were and still are a big help when I'm trying something new.
You make all these great pieces, it must be hard to pick a favorite, do you have an all time favorite?
I have a lot of favorite pieces. I fall a little in love with all of them. Marie Antoinette was my all time favorite though.
Why did you choose this type of craft?
I've always had a love for fashion. Accessorizing my outfits were and still are my favorite part of getting ready to go out. So it was no surprise when the epiphany to make my own jewelry came to me.
These are some of my favorite items that Natasha has made:
Lily of the Sea Earrings
Sea Blue Escape Ring
Temperance: Amethyst and Chalcedony wire-wrapped pendant necklace
