Can you tell us a bit about your work and how did you start your etsy shop?

About my work and how I start my Etsy shopMy dream is to creat artworks that inspire women to feel special andbeautiful, I believe in art's power to inspire emotion. My designs arelargely inspired by the artistic nature objects and the lure of the sea.I've been amazed with nature and its objects, it is there where I captureevery moment to get inspiration for my designs. My works are designed toexpress a free spirit that involves exploration of artistic nature objectsand unique style. I found Etsy about a year ago when I browsed internet to find out where tosell and to buy handmade things. The idea of the site itself is amazing,and there are soooo many artist with gorgeous artworks, and the artistcommunity is so awesome. I fall in love with Etsy ever since, and now I aman Etsy addict.

What usually sparks off an idea?

What usually spark off the ideaInspiration comes from anywhere at anytime.... When I close to nature, myinspiration flows and it lock off my mind. I doesn't have to go far faraway though doing 'big' activies (that's be great though), sometimes I justtake an hour or two walking in the woods, playing water in a small creekaround where I live, enjoying the sound of rattling leaves or winds,capturing moments with my camera. So for me, NATURE is my inspiration.
