*Where are you from? Tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm from a small town in Pennsylvania (Which is also in the US). I'm 20 years old and married to my wonderful husband who is 21. We have two babies (kitties, that is).
*How did you decide on your shop name? Why did you start your business?
Very simple.. KM is my initials, and Studio because I didn't want to brand myself to one thing. I am very varied as far as arts go, so I figured if I stuck with Studio, I can pretty much do anything! I've always wanted to share and sell my art, and when I came across Etsy, it just seemed like the perfect place! :)
*How/what made you decide to use recycled cans?
Being green is important to me. I think it is awesome you can take something old - like a used soda can - and make it into something useful and fun!
*Do you have a blog?
Yes, two actually. :)
www.oxkrissy.livejournal.com
This is my main blog, and the one I've had for years. I prefer livejournal over anything else, but I figured I should introduce myself to blogspot also, as that's what seems to be the more popular choice now.
My blogspot account is here: km-studios.blogspot.com
*What would you love to add to your crafting space?
I would love to even HAVE a crafting space. Our house is still in the remodelling stage, so my art room isn't even done yet. It is really difficult to work with no set space. :( It'll be really nice when it is finished though!
*Which item in your shop did you enjoy making the most and why?
Any of the paintings. I LOVE painting. The recycling items are fun too,.. but more repetitive, I think. With acrylics, I can change it up a little bit. :)
lovely items and so cute too! what a lovely way to reuse old cans! thanks for sharing!
