Great idea, would love to win. My mom is the most creative person I know and has never been able to get it together to sell. Thanks.

My next thing I want to learn is how to weld. My studio is not equipped for it with all of the paper, but someday in my dream studio.

I have heard nothing but wonderful things about this book. I’m so excited to read it and hopefully apply some knowledge to my own fledgling Etsy shop!

What a sweet story. I love knowing more about an artist beyond just what they make or do. I think it adds another whole level to their work. I find myself more engaged and interested if I learn their story.

I can’t wait to read the book!

Kari’s book is on my wish list. It sure would be swell to win a FREE copy! I am a graphic designer, calligrapher and handmade book artist who is looking to quit my day job. Thank you for introducing us to Kari and for all the inspiring posts on TSP. What would we do without sisters?

What a great interview! I love reading about artists and their life before becoming an artist.

I make jewelry and have an online shop, as well as doing home shows and a few select craft shows. I’d love to learn how to better market my jewelry to those who understand the value of handmade.

I’m a paper quiller and am contemplating selling my work online. Because quilling supplies aren’t costly, I’m concerned shoppers may be reluctant to pay what I consider to be a fair price for something that takes quite a bit of time to do well. Am hoping Kari’s book shares insight into setting prices.

Paper is my passion. I’m just starting out, exploring bookbinding, linoleum block printing, and recycled papercrafts. Not to mention my garden and nature photography. I’m not sure where it all will lead, but I’m willing to find out.

My mother was so artistic and crafty. She supplemented our family income by traveling to all the local craft shows and selling her beautiful macrame and decoupage. Surely, I have a bit of her craftiness in my bones as well…??

I am working towards finding my own personal style in photography. Perhaps I could produce something that speaks to others and that they just can hardly live without…!!
