Redd Hynes is an amazing jewelry shop on Etsy. She lives in Ottawa, Canada, and has been on Etsy since June '07. Redd has wonderful necklaces, earrings etc. and now she also carries lip balm (can never have too many!) Redd has another shop on etsy that carries her crocheted items: Dame Named Redd. She also has a BLOG.
How did you decide on your shop name?
I don't honestly know where it came from, it just came to me one day when I was planning my first shop opening. My second shop was the same idea. It just popped into my head and was perfect!
When did you start crafting?
I have done some sort of craft my whole life. I used to take drawing classes as a wee dame and I did cross stitch for a while in elementary school. My mom is very crafty, as was my grandmother, so I came by it quite honestly.
Are there other crafts you would like to try?
I just recently took up spinning my own wool this month and playing with polymer clay this past January. I am always looking for new things to try my hand at. When my son gets much older I may dip into resin as it seems so awesome!
What or who inspires you?
At the moment, it's yarn. I look at yarn and it tells me what to make. I always have a million ideas swirling through my head. I also get inspired by simply sitting in my studio and seeing what comes to me with jewelry ideas.
Do you have a day job?
I'm a stay at home mom to my crazy 3 year old son, Ash.
What is the item in your shop you enjoyed making the most and why?
My Nom Nom Nom Balm! I am a lip balm fanatic. I used to buy so much of the stuff. Then one day I decided to take a crack at making my own. It was fabulous! Before too long I had 20 different flavours to chose from and now I am never without any!
