With less than 1 week to go until our big Dorset Team Christmas Fair, we thought it would be a great idea to place some of the attending sellers in the spotlight! A real way to get to know both the designer/creator and to also see some of their work.

How and why did you get started. What are your inspirations?
I launched "PYNQ" in 2011 after the birth of my baby daughter Pynq (Pink) whilst on maternity leave!
My goal was to create and sell products from my digital textile designs.
I am a versatile designer and apply my design skills across a range of products including fashion, jewellery, interiors, stationery and paper products.
I studied at Central St Martins School of Art & Design graduating with an Upper Second in Textile Design.
I am currently the Printed Textiles Technician at Winchester School of Art running the digital textile printer and teaching Photoshop skills in Fashion and Textiles.
I find it rewarding selling on Etsy and seeing my products on a professional and easy to use website.

Our second seller is Alison Northern from Doodle Dot Gifts - In her own words;
Type of Items sold
Hand painted Fairy and Elf Doors, cards, prints, hand sewn felt gifts, pocket mirrors and polymer stamps
How and why did you get started?
I have always been a bit of a crafty girl, I can remember being taught to knit on big chunky wooden needles when I was about 6 and was the very proud owner of a vintage Singer Sewing machine at 9. I have always loved colour and turning old things into something new, long before up-cycling became the thing to do!!
I started making hand poured shaped crayons and designing colouring sheets using my own character's which then turned into cards, painted wooden items, hand sewn felt items........and more. I love all things whimsical, colourful and just a bit quirky. We have lots of new ideas in the pipeline and would love for Doodle Dot to be a brand in its own right.
