paige of artsy anthropology


how would you describe your shop?
-- Eclectic? Temperamental? I have yet to find something that I "love" and stick with it...

when did you start sewing? 
-- When I was really young I was in sewing classes, but I didn't sew between other than some baby blankets for volunteer hours in high school.  I busted out my machine in October of 2011 and really just went to town, made myself a new duvet cover, made Christmas gifts... then switched the shop from hair accessories to sewn items...

what inspires you?
-- Color. I have so many colors going on in my studio and my life... it's silly really.

favorite piece ever made?
-- Ooo... hmm... At the moment, I'd have to say these new leather purses I'm designing (not yet up in the shop)... or the scrappy-bags and the "hard to handle" clutches - "scrappies" because they are adorable, and then the clutches are more "grown-up"... I find myself having trouble designing things that aren't all really loud and bright and obnoxious.

describe yourself in three words.
Loud, Sarcastic, Creative

your shop is so creative! how do you come up with your bag ideas and patterns?
-- Usually at around 3am when I'm trying to sleep... it's obnoxious.  But also, when my fabric starts piling up, or when I see something I haven't worked with yet and think "well, what can I do with this?" - it's fun, finding new challenges. 

favorite color?
-- Green.  For my entire life, green has been my one and only ;)

favorite band(s)? 
-- Ummm.... Country?  The Glee Cast?  Haha, unless it's from the country station in the car... or music I hear on Glee, I have no idea what's playing.

favorite movie(s)?
-- Pitch Perfect {like seriously, still laugh every time, also Jesse... yummy?!} 
-- Notting Hill {Hugh Grant says "Whoopsy Dasies" too awesome}  
-- Remember the Titans, Friday Night Lights, Miracle {love me some sports movies}

three things that drive you crazy.
-- When people don't use the dryer sheets in the dryer, really, who wants all the static?! NO ONE!
-- People who don't use their blinkers - they should be ... impaled by a flying unicorn.
-- Men who spit in public, really? They can't swallow their spit like the other 50% of the population?





and now for the good stuff!
enter to win YOUR OWN
artsy anthro e-reader case! 
THREE winners will be chosen!
