Artist Focus: Lloralye of Fancy Dodo

 "I have always been fascinated with dodos.  I love their quirky, unique personalities as portrayed in Alice in Wonderland and Ice Age.

  My work has always been some form of mixed media.  It is taking unwanted objects that would have otherwise been extinct like a dodo and transforming them into something fancy.  Hence, Fancy Dodo.

I started making bottle cap earrings out of old comics and magazines to raise money for other crafting supplies, but then bottle cap earrings became my craft!  All my friends were bringing over handfuls of caps in exchange for a custom pair of earrings.  A few friends ordered pairs as Christmas presents, and I realized I had something going.  I was running an etsy shop with a friend, but she decided not to craft anymore.  I opened up Fancy Dodo soon after.  Finding the perfect size image can be daunting so I turned to Photoshop expanding my collection.  My "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" earrings were the first earrings I digitally created.

My inspiration mainly comes from my materials and through the Etsy community.  Other sellers will give me ideas or request custom pieces that start a chain of ideas.  Other times, it comes from simply flipping through a magazine and finding a funky pattern.

Make sure to check out Loralye's Etsy Shop and follow her on Facebook and Twitter @FancyDodo.

@prettypinkpro ‪#3pchat‬ Biggest challenge has been lack of well-defined roles within the team causing a lack of communication & poor results.

Make Yourself More Memorable

6 Habits of Truly Memorable People

(the link will open in a new window!)

(image from An Apple a Day)                                                                      



The other night I came across the above article by Jeff Haden (Twitter: @jeff_hadden), 6 Habits of Truly Memorable People. I'm constantly on a quest for self-betterment, so I dove right in to see what he had to say and what I needed to change.

What a privilege! (Letter to our team)

ATTN: Fashionistas!!! Time to clean and store our sweaters (video)...

We <3 Arts/Crafts. We <3 clothes. Needless to say, we adore the Martha Stewart shows.

One of the better ways to clean/wash sweaters and prevent them from pilling we learned from reading Martha's books. To preserve your heavier sweaters as the weather warms up, clean them properly by following a specific set of steps as demonstrated by Martha Stewart (below).

Cleaning your garments before placing them in storage prevents bugs from wanting to eat them, and will make it easier for you to find something to clean to when entering the colder seasons.

Have a beautiful season!!!

Best,
