 057: Cutting Remarks with Bird | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 48:03

  I’m delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!  Today’s podcast features Bird: I am from the UK, I was born in Cornwall but now live in Gloucestershire with my Partner of 11 years. My feline crafting companion Lilly loves nothing better than photo and video bombing… …she does love to vogue in front of a Camera! I was introduced to card making 13 years ago by a work colleague who made me a beautiful card and have loved it ever since. About 8 years ago my partner gave me my first electronic cutting machine which was a real turning point and led me to learn to design my own Cut Files. While I’ve been learning and growing in confidence I have freely shared my Cut Files on my blog… …and finally opened my own SVG store last October. On the podcast we discuss how Bird first got hooked, her real name, how she picked her design team, her inspiration sources, and lots of thoughts on crafting for a living (and people’s reactions to that).

  I’m delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!  Today’s episode covers a lot of ground.  I titled it “Attitude” because I was trying to think how to capture all the disparate strands of our conversation and in the end I decided that they all boiled down to attitude.  Much like yesterday’s blog post — which we discuss on today’s podcast and I share some reader comments — attitude is one of the determining factors to contentment with what you create and even who you are. Here are two links to things we discussed: Mary Delany — I am planning to do a full blog post about her, but here’s one photo of her work in the meantime: My new “just for fun” instagram account: whatjulieate: There have been some really fantastic listener comments lately, so next podcast (two weeks from now) we are going to do a show based on all of those awesome ideas and questions!  If you want to add your thoughts, we’d love to include them in our conversation, so leave us a comment!
