Promote a Sister Sunday: Naughty Monkeys

It's that time again...promoting other great artisans. This weeks CAB Team member was once a writer - as in "six books, hundreds of magazine articles, seven years as a free-lancer for People magazine (which I actually managed to survive without going through Brad Pitt's trash cans even one single time!) and way, way too much movie copy (Most memorable: "Nature has a dark side" from "Twister" actually won a major award!)." Yes, I took that directly from her profile...I couldn't have said it any better...heck, she's the writer.

Here's some more....
"I've put the word processing aside for a while and returned to my first love -- making stuff. About the stuff: a lot of it is hand-knitted or sewn (by me!). But since I was born with no ability whatsoever to follow directions, the end results are pretty much original designs. Then there are the "rescues." After years of rescuing dogs and cats, I've expanded into rescuing beautiful old clothes and accessories. The ones with semi-fatal flaws, like holes or stains, might become bags. Other pieces -- dresses, for example -- get a second life as blouses, vests or even lingerie. There's no end to the possibilities, which is what makes this so much fun!"


And now for my favorite part - showing off! Here are some of my faves, which will also give you an idea of the great range of items she has in her Etsy shop.

Promote a Sister Sunday: Atelier de Soyun


I noticed Soyun's avatar a while back - it was so interesting looking. At first I was not sure what it was...until I looked closer...it is a packaged creations. How cute. And so is what's inside. She makes these great hand-crafted gifts, bags, purses and pouches.


She grew up in Seoul and is there again after studying and working in New York. She is both a designer and an artist...both of which show in her work.

"All my creations are inspired from various memories
with my family and friends from all over the world.
Every piece is originally designed and carefully
handcrafted to ensure finest quality."


Here are just a few of my favorites from her Etsy shop:




Here are some places you can find her:
* How she is living
* What she is doing
* What she is creating


And just in time for Valentines Day...for the reader in your life...
