Creativesque

Introduce yourself…

Hi, my name is Stacey-Ann and I live in London with my gorgeous 6 year old son, beautiful 8 month old daughter and my hard working and wonderful other half. I work part-time and spend the rest of my time looking after my baby and my family. Oh and in between those things, I manage to do a bit of art and craft!

How did it all start?

My story is similar to a lot of crafters in that I started to rediscover my creativity after the birth of my first child. It was rewarding to be able to stay at home raising him but like every mother I needed something to do that was just for myself so I started watercolour painting as a hobby. Fast forward several years and I now sell my paintings online and offer other items alongside them like handmade gift tags, bookmarks and greeting cards.

Have you always sold online?

Yes, when I decided to try selling my work I only ever tried online. However, talking to other crafters online has made me aware that craft fairs and events are a good way to help promote my shop, so I will be trying that in the future.

What inspires you?

I’m inspired by emotions and words and just about anything going on around me. The tiniest thing can spark an idea so I sketch and write notes to capture them. My art is very expressive and textures, colours, shapes and nature inspire the papercrafts I make. I’m also inspired by the work of other artists and crafters as there is just so much talent out there.

If you had to pick a favourite from all your creations, what would it be?

At the moment it is this handmade book because it has taken a lot of trial and error and practise before I created a book that I was really proud of. I love the colours and the stitching and the fact that it is a useful item.

What music is playing in the background right now?

Just the music from CBeebies on the telly!

Do you have a favourite seller or item on Coriandr at the moment?

Wow, how much time have you got?! There are so many but to name just a few there is Jennymade, HollieLollie, Tomatotea and Vintageplanetdirect.

What does the future hold?

Well I’m focused on developing my brand and turning it into a solid identity. I also want to continue creating quality products and to keep learning new techniques and perfecting the old ones. Enjoying the making is so important to me and I hope that will remain no matter what the future holds!

If you could have a new feature on Coriandr, what would it be?

At the moment I would really love to be able to easily rearrange the photos during and after listing an item. Oh and to sneak another one in, I would love to see which of my products are favourited/hearted the most.

That’s it! Thank you Stacey-Ann, good luck with your Coriandr shop – I’m loving your new notebook, very nice! If anything above catches your eye, just click on the image to read more about the featured item!
