<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I have many
interests which are quite diverse (now I am thinking about it) including art
and craft, science and technology, photography, investing, drinking and eating
out with friends. I also like an
adventure and travel when possible. I
feel very lucky having the opportunity to run a business around something that
I love doing. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Difficult
to answer as there are so many things. I
love thinking of new designs and drawing inspiration from the world around me .
I enjoy being able to combine my former software
skills with creating new embroidery designs for my cards, especially when the
finished product makes people smile. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">My mother
and father are my biggest creative role models.
They ran a very successful drama club in London and were involved in all
sorts of things creative; from making
period costumes to painting stage sets. Print,
pattern and interior design are the type of books that inspire me the most. I love all sorts of music. At the moment I’m listening to Nina Simone. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Stephanie of Stephaholic Cosmetics makes vibrant, fun soaps and bath products with no parabens, artificial preservatives or glycols with delicious fragrances and colours. Here, she shares a glimpse into her creative world....<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Who is Stephaholic Cosmetics? <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stephaholic
Cosmetics is a small business that creates natural handmade soap, bath and body products. Hi, my name is Steph and I am determined to create
things that are better for you without the harsh chemicals. I try to
make sure that most if not all ingredients on my products are in plain
English, so you know what you are buying. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>What’s your “handmade groove?” <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
am a visual person, so the artist in me always loves colour and design.
I try and make my products stand out and look different to others
around me. I am also a really big fragrance lover. Things have to smell
as pretty as they look! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>What’s on your bedside table right now? (hey, no tidying up or censoring)<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh
boy, where do I start? I have my funky shoe lamp (two red stiletto
heels with a bulb each attached to a pole), a few fiction books that I
keep saying I will read and never getting time to, my glass bowl full of
earings that I take off as I get into bed, my engagement ring box that I
keep my ring in overnight while I sleep, my tablet for social
networking before bed (and yes okay I play a few games to wind down), a
box of tissues, and finally a healthy food guide magazine that I am
subscribed to for inspiration.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>Who are your creative role models? What music, books, images, poetry spark your creative fire?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There
are many objects and people who inspire me, and I get most of my design
ideas from food. The colour of something will spark an image in my head
that gives me an idea of what to make next. The smell of something will
trigger an idea. I love looking through food or baking magazines or
books with those beautiful mouthwatering pictures.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b><b>What could you talk late into the night about with like minded people? <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Travel.
Where I have been, where I want to go, who I want to see and who I want
to go with. I always use the “If you win lotto… what would you do with
it?” question too. That gets everyone going! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>If you could go to three free workshops/creative events this year which ones would they be? What are they about?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a hard question, because there aren’t many places in New Zealand other than on Youtube that help me in my line of work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
guess if it could be anywhere in the world, I would love to go to all
types of Cosmetic Classes, so I can keep learning more about the
products used, their benefits and their properties. I would also love to
go to a Baking Class for the piping techniques that I can use for my
soap making. Finally a gardening class for herbs and other plants that
are used in soap, bath & body products.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>How do you balance your creative life with your family, life commitments?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
have started working from home at my ‘bill paying job’, which has
shaved about 2 hours off my day. I only work Monday-Thursday at this
job, and with shaving off 2 hours a day now that I work at home, it
means more ‘me time’ and business time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t have a family yet, but my fiancé and I make sure we spend time together whenever we are both home at the same time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
spend Friday on my business. I make sure that Friday’s are mixed
working and ‘me time’ days. For example; I put on a facemask in the
morning and while it dries I read my emails, comments, posts. I then
jump in the shower. While I eat breakfast I write a list of everything I
want to get done that day whether it be work related or not. I also
make sure I schedule in time-frames for the things I need to get done.
That way I don’t skip lunch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>What is your favourite creative screw-up?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One
batch of soap just didn’t work out. So instead of throwing it away I
re-batched it. I then got creative and used a hand blender to blend up
the mess and coloured it and scented it a bit more. I then threw it into
the loaf moulds and thought, “If it doesn’t work out, at least I tried
and didn’t give up!” It actually turned out to be one of the best
accidents that I have. I won’t tell you what it was, but you would have
never guessed it was a horrible mistake in the first place! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>Kitchen table or studio?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
chuckled to myself when I read this question. I actually am very greedy
and use both. I have a dedicated Soap Room for soaping, but every now
and then I need a new place to work… which everything then goes out to
the kitchen table. My partner is always hilariously frustrated at this. I
say hilariously, because we’ve never really sat at the table to eat, so
it’s not really in the way at all!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>Do you have a wish list? Can you tell us what’s on it?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes.
I only have two really big things on there, as the little things don’t
matter to me so much. The first is to have this business as my main full
time business. The second is to be able to travel around the world. My
favourite quote at this stage in life is, 'I want just enough [in life]
so that I feel I can do anything, but not so much that I feel like doing
nothing.' - Anon <b><o:p></o:p></b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Who is Brenda Spiller? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">That’s
a hard question to answer because I think I’m still finding out myself.
I’m a wife, mother and grandmother. I’m constantly learning new things
about myself. Things happen in life, often bad things, and you find you
have strengths you didn’t know you possessed until you suddenly have to
use them. Life’s challenges help us grow and nothing is constant so
we’re changing all the time. The few things that don’t change are that I
care about people and animals. I care about this beautiful, crazy world
we live on. And I love making beautiful things. I’m interested in
politics, spiritual ideas and theories, history, architecture…all sorts
of things really. I’m also a – shock, horror – gamer. My second husband
got me into that. And how could I not love it when the entire time you
are online gaming you are in a fantasy world? The artistry of the
different environments, creatures and buildings are very inspiring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />What’s your “handmade groove ?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">I’m
not really sure what that is, or if I have one. I do so many different
things in my creative pursuits. Jewellery making, digital art, digital
scrapbooking, you already know about those things. I also buy and do up
old furniture, make handmade books and nostalgia albums. I also spend
time creating 3D digital environments, buildings and furniture in the
online world of Second Life. I’m also into photography when I get half a
chance. So if I have a groove at all it needs to be a very flexible
one. I also design and build wordpress websites for other people, both
businesses and individuals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">Several

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">I have a chest of draws beside my bed so the top of it is quite a bit bigger than your standard bedside table.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Who are your creative role models? What music, books, images, poetry spark your creative fire?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">I
am a huge fan of fantasy art. I have a massive digital collection. So I
am inspired by fantasy artists, in particular Brian and Wendy Froud,
Angi Sullins and Silas Toball, Anne Stokes…oh there are so many. I have
lots of books. If I look at one shelf just above me here there are books
on Trolls, Fairies, Art Journaling, how to draw books, sustainability
and conservation, poetry (Tennyson), Avatar (the movie), ballet,
politics, New Zealand history and some children’s books for ideas. As
for music – since buying an iPad and taking advantage of iTunes, my
collection is definitely growing. I don’t really have a favourite genre.
Anything that’s easy to listen to or sing along with. My collection
includes everything from opera to celtic. From the rough scratchy voice
of Leonard Cohen to the angelic voices of Celtic Women and the deep
sultry sounds of Il Volo. It’s all music that seems to be a good fit for
a fantasy enthusiast now I come to think about it. I also get inspired
by the beauty of historical architecture and furniture designs. They
were so ornate. Everything we build is so plain these days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">What could you talk late into the night about with like minded people? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">Creative
pursuits, obviously. But also politics, religion and conservation and
sustainability. I love discussing ‘so called’ taboo subjects, because
that’s what people get really passionate about. It makes for very
interesting conversations and debates. Books and movies too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />If you could go to three free workshops/creative events this year which ones would they be? What are they about?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">Typography
would be one. All my computer graphics skills are self-taught but I’m
not very good at Typography. I would also love to learn how to draw and
paint properly and that includes digital painting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />How do you balance your creative life with your family, life commitments?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">If
you asked my hubby that question – he’d probably say that I don’t. I
tend to get very focused when I’m busy making stuff and forget to do
things like bring the washing in or make the bed. I can’t help it, it’s
just the way I am. Besides, there are a lot of things I would prefer on
my headstone to “she was a great housekeeper”. I’m not saying we live in
a mess, we don’t. The house is always clean and tidy. I just forget
things sometimes because my mind is so taken up with my latest project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />What is your favourite creative screw-up?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">There
have been plenty of screw-ups over the years. I can’t say I’d call any
of them a favourite. They tend to annoy me intensely because they waste
materials and time, and, worst of all, they tend to demotivate me and
knock my confidence in what I’m doing. I’d love to have a funny story to
tell you here, but I just don’t I’m afraid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />Kitchen table or studio?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #00b050;">It
started out on the kitchen table many years ago. In my last house I had
a small craft room, but when I met and married my current hubby I was
very lucky to ‘inherit’ his late wife’s craft room and all her supplies.
Luckily we enjoyed a lot of the same crafts. So now I have a large
craft room, which is constantly overflowing with part-finished projects
and supplies. Last week I moved all my jewellery making supplies and
tools into the office because that’s where we tend to spend the most
time in winter and is one of the warmest rooms in the house because it
gets the sun most of the day. It’s also right next door to the kitchen
which makes ducking out to grab a coffee much more convenient.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

time. There are so many things I love doing and so many more that I
want to try and learn, I think I need to live forever! Oh, and better
eye sight. Even with glasses I spend a lot of time squinting these days.
Doing really fine work is quite difficult.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Who is Dotty Bits?</b><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Emma Hall</i> <i>aka Dotty Bits</i> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>What’s your “handmade groove?” </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<i>I paint designs on to ceramic pieces using
dots</i> <i>– Dotty Bits!</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>What’s on your bedside table right now? (Hey, no tidying up or censoring) </b><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Nothing
exciting!! A lamp, a wooden box for all
sorts (currently filled with my children’s treasures) and the book I’m currently
reading ‘An Echo in the Bone’ by Diana Gabaldon – love a book that takes me
back in time and on a journey!!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>Who are your creative role models? What music, books, images, poetry spark your
creative fire</b>? <br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In relation to Dotty Bits my inspiration is just the world around me
and my imagination – I see a picture in a book, or an ad on TV and I store that
idea away for the future.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>What could you talk late into the night about with like minded people?</b> <br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>MANY
subjects! I love a good philosophical
discussion or pulling apart conspiracy theories (after a wine or two!) but then
again I love to chat about celebs and their (amazing/garish) lives!!<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>If you could go to three free workshops/creative events this year which ones
would they be?</b><br />
<br />
What are they about?<i> Anything!!
I’m not fussy! However, I’ve
always wanted to do a bakery class – decorate cakes, bake Parisian style!<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>How do you balance your creative life with your family, life commitments? </b><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>With my
2 boys at home with me during the day, it’s not as hard as I thought it would
be to balance ‘Dotty Bits’ with everything else. If I have ten minutes, then I paint. After the kids are in bed, I paint – I can
paint, watch TV and chat with my hubby at the same time!!<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>What is your favourite creative screw-up?</b> <br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I don’t really have a favourite
screw up – but I do have a couple of really good ‘accidents’ - designs that
have just floated into my head without much thinking and I’ve given them a go
and voila! The latest example of this is
my ‘creeper’ design, my Facebook friends loved it!! <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>Kitchen table or studio?</b> <br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Definitely kitchen table, love the
accessibility of it.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>Do you have a wish list? Can you tell us what’s on it?</b><i><b> </b> </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In my life in general…my wishes
change constantly, except for the health and well being of my family, I wish
that always. In relation to Dotty Bits, I’d love to design
my own original ceramic pieces and then paint them. That’s something I’m researching and working
towards. Also expand into other fields
but keeping my Dotty Designs as the link between them all.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

</div>
One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given about product photography was to always watermark your photos - 1. it identifies the piece as yours and not for copy, and 2. it's great reinforcement of the makers brand/business name.<br />
<br />
And so I've always done it - but to be honest, it's not been my favourite task because it's always taken so long to individually edit each photo and copy and paste a watermark to each one.<br />
<br />
Now you do know I like to share any exciting, time-saving finds with my fellow creatives, so today, I thought I'd share my recent discovery of the rather wonderful <a href="http://www.visualwatermark.com/" target="_blank">Visual Watermark</a> program which in a nutshell is a batch watermarking software. I cannot tell you how much I love it!<br />
<br />
It was low cost - US$19.99 (one off), packed with features, and super easy to use. I'll leave you to go check out the nitty gritty of just what it can do ... http://www.visualwatermark.com/.<br />
<br />
But here's a quick visual of how it works for me...<br />
<br />

<br />
I've tried many times to describe Andy's creations - the humour, silliness and just plain clever behind them - but honestly... I think you just have to see them. I would recommend that before viewing, you sit down comfortably on a sturdy chair and do not eat or drink at the same time... you'll see why!<br />

If you don't know anything about weaving, you'd probably think by looking at this loom shot that I've barely started. But the actual <i>weaving</i> is just half of weaving. Before you can start <i>weaving</i> there's <i>warping</i>, which is putting the yarn on the loom. So by the time I got to this point I'd already spent hours measuring 407 threads to all be exactly 4 and a half yards long in just the right sequence of white and black. Then I got help from my lovely husband and daughters to wind the measured warp yarn on to the back beam of the loom. And then I started the process of threading the heddles.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then I stalled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My loom has been sitting on my dining room table in this exact state for a couple of weeks now. Instead of working on finishing the warping I've been knitting, and reading, and walking, and sleeping, and pretty much anything and everything else. If I just got through threading the heddles, I could move on to the actual <i>weaving</i> part, and I think I'd zip through to the end. But every time I look at it, and think I should work on it, I just turn my back and do something else.</div>

Have you ever hit the crafting doldrums? How do you pull yourself out of them and motivate to continue?</div>
