Featured Artist "Hunneybunny" aka Allie

Allie's Bio


Her Etsy Shop

I am a self taught artist living in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I dream about going back to school for art, but I never quite get around to it. I am a Massage Therapist by day, and a painter/ craft-er in my spare time. I started my ETSY shop in the spring as a way for my work to reach more people. (I never expect to find such a wonderful group of artists to share with though. That was the best surprise about ETSY!)

What Inspires You?
I am inspired by many random things. Dr.Suess Books, Roadside attractions, Tim Burton movies, the human muscular system, and anything bright and shiny.

What Has Been Your Biggest Success As a Artist
I guess it would depend on how you define "success". Though I didnt make a penny from it- I would consider my biggest success would be when Sharpie found some of my doodle monsters and featured me as artist. That was pretty rockin! It was so validating! (sharpie feature: blog.sharpie.com/2011/06/monster-mash/ )

I am so glad I joined WDA. So many of the members are just oozing with talent! Its really inspiring to look through their shops. It also motivates me to work harder and become a better artist.

Thanks!

Allie

Featured Artist (Jessica) CuteAndCreepy



I have had my shop since 2007 and have really been enjoying the increase in exposure of Etsy. I've been making the critters themselves since 2000. I started because I'm an adult and I love plush. I still hug things in stores and want to cry when I can't take cute things home with me. But honestly I can't fit anymore plush in this house! All my items are one of a kind (OOAK). I enjoy thrift shopping for vintage fabrics because I love the bright funky colors and patterns you just don't see so often anymore.

Mixing these with perhaps more ordinary fabrics can be quite lovely!
I'm inspired mostly by my moods. Like most everything I do it's at a very gut level.
I am in awe of my Happy Customer blog as it is such a touching and terrific thing to know people are having fun with my creations. I keep all of their photos and post them here:
cuteandcreepyhappycustomer.blogspot.com

I also have a regular blog all about me which I'm sure could get pretty boring as I really like to share.cannibalizedcuties.blogspot.com

I have a few favorites in the shop. And yes, they're pretty pricey but they are special to me.

I really love Tom, his body is made from vintage curtains!

I also can't help but love Loud Mouth Malone

And of course Captain Bossy Socks (he made me say that- lol)
Since January I've been plagued with constant health problems that have accumulated much debt, I do not like asking for money but if you wish to donate to helping me out of this situation you can go to my website www.cuteandcreepy.net and click the donate button on the top just under the picture slide show in the middle. It will take you to paypal which is very secure. Just type Medical Fundraiser or Donation and even $1. helps tremendously.

And if you want to purchase anything from my shop please use the coupon JESSICASFUNDRAISER for 30% off.
Thanks very much for reading all about me!
