How Artists Think

The Stylehound loves the work of individual artists and artisans. We admire the artists who pour their creativity into their work, often without much compensation---we all know that just about anything pays more than creating gorgous pillows or hand-stitched cloth napkins. Well, anything except working in the financial world.

And without the work of artists, our homes would be pretty dull places indeed.

That's why we really enjoyed reading this interview on Indie Fixx with Shanna Murra, one of those infuriatingly creative people who works her designs in painting, sewing, embroidery---nothing is safe from her creativity. She can even make a plain paper bag look classy. And she can make a simple throw pillow a must-have.

As an artist you definetly have to be creative, when i need ideas i usually take a nice stroll through the park which helps me unwind that's when I find I get a little creative. Thanks for the link to http://indiefixx.com/category/home-stuff/.
