Scholastic Science World!

Never have we been more excited! One of our Tie skirts has been featured in a magazine! We just received our copies of the magazine yesterday and we couldnt be more pleased with the result. We were chosen to be a part of Science Worlds article for "recycled fashion" for their Earth Day issue.


We do have quite a few other items that are recycle friendly but, It makes sense to have one of our tie skirts in our first major appearance. Our tie skirts were the very thing that got us started on this journey of ours in 2003. :D Our first project together gets recognized first. :) we are so proud.

We have already gotten many emails and conversations about the magazine which is a major bonus we didnt expect. Anyway, just wanted to share our pride and joy. Click on the image to read the article Cody included on us! :D

LM: Tell us a little bit about yourself?
SF: I am a 25 stay at home mommy/wife. I have a sweet 2 1/2 year old daughter currently going through the "terrible twos"!! And an almost perfect husband. I enjoy being creative, I am always taking on new projects and etsy has been my creative outlet.

LM: When did you first start making what you sell?
SF: I received my first camera when I was 9. Of course, the pictures I got back from the developer were less then desirable...:) Almost all my Art is photograph inspired, but it also has a scrapbook twist to it, another hobby I thouroughly enjoy. Its been a while, but I also have several pencil drawings I drew in my teen years. I even had them in a local gallery with success. I focused mainly on horses, and old weathered cars. I have been meaning to pull some out and list them in my store. I still might end up doing that.

LM: What inspires you?
SF: Everything! Completely out of the blue something will trigger an idea for a new product. My favorite sources of inspiration though would have to be; scrapbook paper, a fresh box of crayons, paint chips, decortaing magazines, and chipboard. I love blank customizable chipboard. It has been a favorite medium of mine as of late.

LM: What are your goals/aspirations here on etsy?
SF: To continue to meet new awesome people. I would also like to see at least one of my forms of ART to stick. Currently, I am experimenting with alot of different Forms of Art. All of which I enjoy. It has been fun, but I would love one of them to "take off..." :)

LM: If you were any craft tool what would you be?
SF: I would say maybe a paper cutter... they are extremely sharp; very useful, some are very snazzy looking, and they get to work with extremely bright colorful people...err...paper. :)

LM: Any last words?
SF: Thanks for featuring me! Please take a look at my shop, I promise you will NOT be dissapointed...especially if you read this all the way through, and I didnt bore you! :)
