Today we were the featured studio PoppyTalk highlighted in their efforts to show artist/designer/crafter’s studios from around the world. This is a continuation of an ongoing series they’ve created. One I enjoy immensely! Everyone enjoys the benefit of a designer’s finished piece, but it’s truly a treat to get a peek behind the scenes and see where the magic takes place. These are the questions each designer is asked:

1) Where in your home/apartment is your studio located?
2) What equipment/tools do you use?
3) Do you have an inspiration board, and can you tell us what is inspiring you now?
4) How do you create best (e.g. do you listen to music while you create and if so what?)
5) List (3) of your favorite artists
6) If yours isn’t, what would be your perfect studio?

Make your way over to their blog for the answers to these questions and see other artist/designer/crafter’s studio space.

Thank you PoppyTalk! It’s been fun.

Poppytalk Handmade is a monthly online street market curated by Poppytalk to showcase handmade art and goods of emerging design talent from around the world. It’s an amazing little site! It’s kind of like an indie marketplace with monthly “themes”, sort of like a virtual art fair/festival. This month’s theme is a Green/Eco Market that runs from March 10th - April 11th… and we’re featured!

We’re honored and excited to be part of such an amazingly talented group of creatives! You should definitely stop by and take a peek. It’s a great place to discover new and amazing work by emerging/indie designers and artists you probably aren’t familiar with. If you stop by you won’t be disappointed!
