Friday’s featured artist is Cherise Carter-Smoot from the Etsy shop MyLavenderPeacock.
Can you sum yourself up in 3 sentences? Give it a go!
I am a woman driven to succeed. If I couldn’t create I’d wither away. I love providing smiles and laughter.
Tell us about what you sell:
I sell handmade and custom designed accessories, bags and home decor items.
Tote Bag – Over-Sized Military – $55
What is your favorite thing about creating?
My favorite thing about creating is the release it gives me. I tend to be a bit high strung, but if I can sit quietly at my machine and put together a beautiful set of pillows, or create a new bag design, my spirit finds peace.
Where do you find your inspiration?
I think my biggest inspiration lies in necessity. I always ask myself “is it Useful”? I think beauty, without function, is wasted.
Do you have any advice for other sellers?
My best advice for sellers would be to fully commit and don’t give up. Things will get slow, that’s a given, and there will be dry spells, but if you’re serious about your work, you can persevere and push through to success.
Old Rose Pocket Tissue Case – $5.50
