Etsian Feature Thursday


Designs By Reese

Simple Style, clean lines, that's the beauty of Designs By Reese. Samples of her work show the serendipity of her pieces. Each picture links to that particular item in her shop and Reese has agreed to answer a few questions!

What inspires you to create your fabulous pieces?
DesignsByReese: I am inspired by colors and shapes that I see in my everyday life, everything ranging from nature to curves and angles!

What do you do to overcome the creativity-stealing brick wall?
DesignsByReese: When I find myself at a creative block, I simply step away from my bench and do something else. My time away may last 20 minutes or a few weeks. Eventually I come back with a lot of new ideas and renewed energy.

what is your favorite part of the creative process?
DesignsByReese: My favorite part of the creative process is THE CREATIVE PROCESS. I love seeing a sketch that I dreamed up come to life in metal!

What do you listen to while you create?
DesignsByReese: I think I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't listen to anything when I work. My shop is usually quiet, except for normal household noises. Even if I have music playing, I rarely realize that it is on. I'm very focused!

Do you have any advice for fellow-Etsians?
DesignsByReese: Stick to what you love and the rest will usually fall into place. Don't let the mundane parts of business steal your creativity.

Be sure to drop by Reese's Shop, and tell her that Alterity sent ya!
