What is the best
handmade gift you've received?
The best handmade gift I’ve gotten in a really
long time is a set of small, square wall-hangings with four different movie
directors’ portraits on them: Wes, Woody, Jim and Francis. You can pick your own
from a whole bunch of portraits and they make me smile just looking at them.
(From Retrowhale on Etsy.)
Is there a story behind
your shop name?
I named my biz after those cute little frogs, spring peepers. I
love how such a tiny thing can make such a whopping sound.
Describe your studio.
My studio: it has table and four chairs, a stove, a fridge, a sink and some
crumbs. It’s open 24 hours and often contains small children.
What is your favorite
thing about the Holidays?
Frazier Fir smells and my mom’s homemade Russian Rocks
Christmas cookies.
What are your
influences?
I love things that are cleverly designed, clean and simple, and have
a sense of humor. That translates to many things—furniture, art, gadgets,
dwellings. Music is another big influence for me. I love to listen to music
while I’m printing. I have a high tolerance for listening to the same thing over
and over if it’s something I’m really digging at the moment. I also enjoy all
things letterpress and the fabulous Hatch Show Print in Nashville, Tennessee.
