I love reading the bio on Etsy’s featured sellers and try to glean insight and inspiration.
Here’s this week’s inspiration from Empire Empire:
‘There are two sides to the art making process. The first is creation, and the second is reception. If it’s art, then the process of making and receiving the art will separately provoke distinct moments of openness and both creator and receiver will learn something.
This is extremely rare, and I don’t live up to my own standards most of the time, but if it was easy, it wouldn’t be worth it.’
Yeah! Read the rest of the interview here.

here’s a some very cool products from an etsy seller, working class heroes.
from their website:
‘we are inspired by the times when things were made with real attention to detail. we like to work with a range of natural materials to create new combinations.
we believe that it is important to take your time when designing because only this way can you put your love into it and have fun creating.’
well done and I couldn’t agree more.
