here's a few fun facts:
here's a few fun facts:
Me: "Where do you gather inspiration from?"
Dionne: "Food. Yup food. I am a major foodie, so restaurants, cooking classes, food reality shows, they all inspire me - even when it comes to crafts and graphic design. Food is so naturally beautiful, and just by arranging it in a certain way you can really elevate things - I like to try and do that with my art too."
Dionne: "In my art: whimsical, playful
Me: "What are your top 3 favorite shops/online stores?"
Me: "What was the BEST handmade gift that anyone has ever given you?"
Dionne: "A lovely scrapbook that my friend made for me when I moved from Cali to Texas. It was so personal and took so much time and effort. I love it."
Dionne: "I love the handmade community. I found Etsy when looking for unique Bridesmaids gifts for my wedding, and then when I moved to Houston, decided to take a stab and selling my own stuff on there.
I figured that since my buying experience on there was so much fun, selling would have to be too!"

Me: "Tell us a little bit about your creative process"
Dionne: "I love color and texture and layers. For my photography I like layering colors and light and with my illustrations I really like mixing vintage looking items with modern whimsy. Usually when I draw I think of something I want to convey - a feeling - and then let my creativity take it from there."
Me: "What do you want others to get out of your items/shop?"
Dionne: "Custom Illustrations. People see my stuff featured on a blog or look through my sold items and want something created for them. I love custom orders!"
Me: "What is your favorite item in your shop, or your top-seller?"
Dionne: "I really like my card sets."
Me: "Besides your wonderful items in your shop, what are some of your other creative outlets/hobbies?"
Dionne: "I LOVE to cook and bake. I have only been doing it for 2 years, but LOVE the creative juices that flow from it."
Me: "Is there anything else that you would like to share with us about you or your fabulous creations?"
Dionne: "I hope that my work can bring you as much joy as creating it brings me!"
