What do you make and do you have a website?

I hand print cards and shirts and anything else that is blank at my kitchen table with a Print Gocco. My stuff is usually about zombies and ghosts and pandas and other things that worry me. I sell my stuff on Etsy at http://www.tinaseamonster.etsy.com, but blog at http://www.ilikeseamonsters.com


Why do you make things?

It is a creative outlet. It is an obsession. But mostly to make people laugh.


When did you start making things?

I recently read in this is my baby book: "Tina is two and just drew her first picture. She says it is a monster". This says it all.


Why buy handmade?

I buy handmade because I like to be surrounded by odd things. I like to impress people with my quirkiness.

What craft supplies would you take to a deserted island?

Gocco. Ink. Felt. Needle. Thread. I would make zombie xmas tree ornaments all year long.


What crafters or artists do you love?

I admire anyone who can draw. I am awful at it, but know that if I could I would be a force of nature. I really love Elloh on Etsy ( http://www.elloh.etsy.com). Her ability to capture what we love about pop culture is truly lovely.


What new craft/skill do you want to learn?

Quilting. A few years ago I saw an exhibit of weird crazy quilts in London and ever since then I have been dreaming of snuggling up with giant zombie quilts. I want to write weird junk on blankets that people will pass down to younger generations. I want to take the old arts and crafts and make them modern and funny and completely brilliant. This is my dream and I am sure I will do it. Now I just need to find the time.


Tell us something funny about yourself.

Even though my website is called I Like Sea monsters, I still cringe when I see one. The commercials for that new sea monster movie, Water Horse, almost made me vomit yesterday. Oh and I really don't believe we have ever landed on the moon.
