*Where are you from? Tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm originally from Ontario, Canada- just outside Toronto. I married a Texan 5 years ago and we both moved down to Texas 4 years ago. I now live in the Austin area which is by far my favorite place in Texas! Great place for arts and crafts.
*How did you decide on your shop name? Why did you start your business?
These pendants look good enough to eat!! YUM! As for starting this business- I originally started making glass tile pendants as a way to share my artwork with more people. My first shop on Etsy (steel) focuses just on my bizarre creations- paintings, postcards, and glass tile jewelry. Making the pendants was so much fun that I decided to branch out with a broader range of designs (both my own and from other talented artists) and start another shop!
*What do you like about being a seller?
I love knowing that these items I made with my hands are going to be worn and loved by someone! It's a very satisfying feeling.
*If you had time to learn any other craft/art - what would it be?
Actually, a couple of months ago I taught myself to crochet. I absolutely love it. I've already made gifts for pretty much everyone I know, and now I'm making preemie hats and afghan squares for charity. I also just bought a bunch of supplies to learn to work with fine silver and I'm VERY excited about that.
*What do you do when you’re not being an artist? What activities do you enjoy?
I love hiking, traveling and cooking healthy vegetarian dishes. I also dabble in piano and guitar.
*Are there other places on the net we can find you?
