Dori, from the Yellow House tagged me to participate in the Monday Blog Tour! Thank you, Dori :)
She asked me answer the following four questions, so without further ado:
What am I working on?
After a long hiatus I am working on a new bag design, inspired by a whimsical fabric I received recently. Some of my readers may remember that I started my handmade business designing bags, but due to economic factors switched to designing lounge wear and accessories instead. The bag I'm currently working on will be a one-of-a-kind creation and can be purchased directly through me/this blog. Stay tuned...
How does my work differ from others in its genre?
I know there are plenty of handmade shops offering floral lounge wear, but I would say that I have developed a signature style that cannot be copied that easily. A lot of thought goes into each piece, choosing fabric combinations and adding feminine details. Consequently I don't produce en masse and that's my selling point for buyers who appreciate special and unique items.
Why do I write what I do?
Okay, at first I did not get this question, but then this tag is a blog tour so I guess this question refers to blogging :) I've been at it for six years. I love writing, especially tutorials. I believe in sharing ideas - and I've got tons of those :) There is a certain satisfaction of coming up with an idea, be it sewing, papercrafting or even a recipe, implementing it and subsequently sharing it with my fellow bloggers :)
How does my writing process work?
Well, as far as my tutorials go it really starts as a sketch and a few keywords. Once I finish the project I mentally go through the process again (sometimes twice) and write the instructions directly in a blog post. It helps to view the photos I made of the project. I'm a visual person. Sometimes it comes together quickly, other times it takes up to two hours to finish a post. Either way I really enjoy writing!

This was so much fun, so I'd like to continue this blog tour by tagging Marieken of Invisible Crown (@crowninvisible) and Val of Miss Val's Creations (@valscreations) to answer the four questions above by next Monday 16th!

Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteI actually didn't realize you'd started out designing bags. I look forward to seeing your new design!
ReplyDeleteLovely mood board! Can't wait to see your bag!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Duni,
ReplyDeletemein Englisch ist zwar nicht so berauschend, aber ich habe mir jetzt trotzdem alles durchgelesen.
Und ich bin auch der Meinung, dass Du ganz individuelle Dinge machst, die alle Deine Handschrift tragen. Weiter so, ich freue mich schon auf Deine neuen Taschen! :-)
Liebe Grüße

What a gorgeous moodboard! I miss the peonies I had where we used to live.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your writing process. That's an interesting question to ask a blogger.
I write tutorials the same way: I have to look at the pictures of the steps first, and then start the words. And I like to have all of them edited and ready to go, too. The words are usually the last thing I do, haha.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous moodboard! I know peonies are everyone's favorite these days but there's a reason: they're too pretty for words!
ReplyDeleteMy peonies have come and gone already! I do love them even if they are too quick in the yard. So fun to hear more about you Duni - enjoyed the questions today,and look forward to hearing about Miss Val!
ReplyDeleteNice interview. I LOVE your color combinations and little touches--your work is definitely original and one-of-a-kind.
ReplyDeleteLOVE peonies. They came and went fast here this Spring. :(
Love the peonies and thanks for tagging me! Have to think a bit about the answers...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful features...love the invitation!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new bag design!
as you probably noticed pink is my favorite color and peonies are my favorite of all flowers.... so this is feels like home! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIch liebe diese zarten, warmen Farben!
ReplyDeleteUnd Deine Arbeit ist wirklich einzigartig! Ich bin schon so gespannt auf Deine neu kreierte Tasche!
Alles Liebe,
Verena xoxo
Interesting insights into your writing process! Tutorials are my least favorite sort of post to write--I forget to take photos as I go and get all confused!
