<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Blue Daisy Glass is ran by a very nice lady named Apryl who was gracious enough</span></i> <i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">to answer some questions for me so we can get a better feel for her shop and how she first became a crafter.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Question: </b>When did you start making your beautiful creations?</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Apryl: </span></b></i><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b></b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I started a few years back when my husband sent me on a glass fusing
course for my birthday. It was a horrible session, the teacher was awful
, but that inspired me to do it for myself. I already had a huge
ceramics kiln and so used that. I've since been on fantastic courses
and now teach my own introductory classes. I have a special method
called 'trial and error'! </span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Question: What is your inspiration? Which item in your shop is your favorite?</b> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>Apryl: </b>The glass itself is the inspiration. I buy random glass and play around
with the pieces until I find a match. I always come back to the blues
though especially the cobalt blue daisy which remains my favorite. </span></i>
<i><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
I also love the huge dichroic pendants. The one with the gold sun spot
looks fantastic on a choker with a black dress. I love the way it
becomes a talking piece. </span></i>
<i><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
The blue daisy happened when I lost concentration for a while on the
pattern that I was following. I stuck the triangles in my suncatcher the
wrong way round and an ink blot was formed. This has since evolved into
my daisies. </span></i>

<b>Question: What brought you to Etsy?</b></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Apryl: </b>I started on ETSY as a buyer long before a seller. I was selling on a UK
site and wanted to branch out into the world beyond the UK. I started
the shop as a New Years resolution. It's quite a scary place to start
but as the teams appeared so did a lot of friendly faces. </span></i>
<i><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<b>Question: Do you have any other hobbies or interests?</b></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Apryl: </b>Other hobbies, anything crafty, travel, reading.I am particularly like
seeing local crafts when on a trip. I've recently been inspired by a
trip to Marrakesh.</span></i>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I would like to thank Apryl ag</span></i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>ain for being a featured seller here on my blog and sharing a little bit about her shop with us.

Tomorrow is the last official day of our kids Spring Break from school, and one day we actually had a dusting of snow on the ground! Can you imagine?<br /><br />So with all this Spring Fever going on, I decided what the heck and to get making some pillowcase dresses anyway! The great thing about these pillowcase dresses is that they can be worn as a dress, a shirt, over a shirt or alone! So no matter what wonderful Mother Nature decides to throw at us...we are always prepared!<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span>Oursjhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04837124160511732770noreply@blogger.com5
