| I've bought 4 custom cards from Kelly and they're always great! |
- Were you always crafty as a child? I've been a creative person all my life, even as a child I'd be drawing, painting or trying to make something lol
- When did you start your business and what made you start it? I started crafting in January 2010 but Kokokelli officially started in June 2010
- How did you come about your business name? I was trying to think of something for ages but then one day when I was reading about Kokopelli I thought, why not make a play on the name and call myself Kokokelli?! lol
- Tell us a bit about what you do: I make gorgeous handmade jewellery & greeting cards at affordable prices. Whether your chic & classy or weird & wonderful Kokokelli will have something for you. And if we don't - just ask! We love doing custom orders!
- What are your favourite pieces you make? I love everything I make really cos its all different and been inspired by different things. I've done quite well with my wedding cards really as I've had a few custom orders from different people for those.
- Where do you see yourself and your business in 10 years? I would love to say that I'd like to be working for myself and earning loads of money doing wot I love most but the way things are at the moment especially with the recession it's not looking too good. So I'm gonna say I myself would like to be settled down with my lovely Dr in our own place with a few kiddies and hopefully I'd be running my business from home aswell as doing another job if need be.
- If time and money were no object, is there anything you’d like to do differently? I'd love to have the funding to be able to advertise more and really get the Kokokelli name out there, it's very hard starting off especially when you've been unemployed for a year and a half and you don't have any money!
- Tell us about 2 crafters you love and why. I love Leah from 'Funki Munki Badges' (and not just cos this is her blog lol) but I always look forward to reading her tweets, status, and blogs as they either have me in tears of laughter (but sometimes sorrow) or cheer me up if I'm down. Leah is lovely genuine person and basically a 'what you see is what you get' kinda person and I love that quality in a person. I also love Shirley of 'Diddybears' cos she does so much to help others. She's even doing a campaign at the moment called SHHIM (Support Handmade However It's Made) where she is helping out fellow crafter's who have been affected by the new rules coming into place at Folksy. - Aww, thanks! I'm welling up!
- What do you do when you’re not crafting? When I'm not crafting you'll usually find me on facebook and twitter trying to promote myself as much as possible (without being accused of spamming lol) or chilling out with my lovely Dr.
