Interview with Donna Mundinger

Hi, everyone!  Mitzi here.  Welcome to the sixth and final installment of Designer Interview series before the first challenge announcment.  I'm so happy you can join us.  Today, I'm delighted to introduce to you Donna Mundinger.  Everyone, please meet Donna!

Donna Mundinger

Mitzi: I recall the first card I saw from you that was made with one of my digi's was "Las Calaveras" (Sugar Skull Day of the Dead Catrina). You were one of the first people to join my FB group and to post a photo. I loved the traditional yellow and orange color scheme, and was thrilled to see the 3D effect. How long have you been coloring/paper crafting and how did you get started?

Donna's stunning Day of the Dead card with "Las Calaveras"

Donna:  I've always been a crafter, even as a little girl. My Daddy was always my big inspiration. He was a mechanical engineer by trade, but an accomplished "inventor" and artist at heart. During grade school he made gorgeous 3D Valentines for my teachers, I recall especially, a lamp post and wheelbarrow, and "built" many of my Halloween costumes. I began papercrafting in 2008 with the purchase of a Cricut die cutting machine. My husband and I were both retired and he had gotten heavily into the piano and thought I needed some sort of "hobby" too.  For several years I did mainly Cricut crafts and used Design Studio to "build" many layered, shaped cards.  Although I liked stamping, I sort of stunk at rubber stamping and was often discouraged when the the impression didn't come out perfectly.  Then came digi stamps and I was smitten.  Not only did they come out perfectly every time, they were resizeable.  WooHoo!  Copics are my coloring tools of choice, although I'd love to become more proficient with pencils and even watercolors, but I still have lots to learn with my markers.  I still prefer to add dimension to my digi cards, though.  I'm no good with sketches.  No imagination for my own, and I feel like I have to follow those of others exactly, which sort of stifles my creativity.  So most of my creations are shaped or layered or have some element of surprise.  I find fussy cutting by hand very relaxing.

Mitzi: That's fantastic that you and you father got to have so much fun together working on projects.  I'm also glad that you found digital stamps!  As an artist, I always thought the size limitation of the rubber stamps to be disappointing in the way they confined my larger fantasy pieces and robbed them of their details, so I was happy to offer my lines in this format, too. Glad our paths have crossed.
Next question.  You do a lot of crafting and are on a DT for multiple artists/companies. What does your crafting area/room look like? Do you keep the space pretty neat? Or are you someone who can work perfectly well in an organized chaos? (That's me.)

Donna: How embarrassing!  I just KNEW you were gonna ask that.  My craft room looks like a bomb went off and spills into the adjoining bathroom and exercise room.  I'd send you a pic, but I'd hate to totally incriminate myself.  LOL  I underestimated the amount of "stuff" I was going to accumulate and quickly filled every available inch of storage.  Now there are bags, boxes and piles EVERYWHERE.  My New Year's resolution every year is to "get organized" . HA! I'd probably have to stop crafting for a year and that's not gonna happen.  Unfortunately, this makes me a very inefficient crafter.  Sometimes I'll lay something down on my desk, turn away, and then not find it again for a half hour.  I tell myself to just put the stuff away after I finish a project, but my mind works way faster than my hands and I can't wait to get started on the next thing sooo... I manage.  They say admitting publicly that you have a problem is the first step to recovery.  What do you think?  Fortunately, somehow the rest of the house remains in a reasonable state.

Donna's adorable new baby card with "Sleepy Bunny Elf"

Mitzi: Hehe, I feel as if I've found a kindred spirit!  I've panicked once, thinking I've lost an original painting overnight in my messy work area, only to find it in under my scanner lid, perfectly safe and sound.  LOL  Wasted about 15 minutes looking all over the place for it, falsely accusing my kitties and family members in the process.

Next question.  Aside from coloring and crafting, what other activities do you enjoy? 

Donna: I love gourmet cooking, wine and entertaining, decorating for the holidays (not taking the stuff down, though) and gardening.  I'm happiest when my rooms are filled with flowers and am thrilled that most of the time I don't have to go to the Farmer's Market to purchase them.   I just walk out my back door.  I'm also a regular hiker, doing 6 to 7 miles a day on the trails near our house.  Feel lucky to live in the Wine Country of the Livermore Valley in CA, as the views are spectacular.  I'm also refreshing my long neglected Spanish with Rosetta Stone and hope to regain the fluency I once had.

Mitzi: Fantastic!  Sounds lovely!  You're such an all-round awesome lady! :D  Now, onto the next question.   I know from your blog that you are a cat person. (Me, too!!) If you can choose to be an animal for a day, what would it be?  (I love asking this question.)

Donna: You know, if you'd not said "for a day", I would have probably said cat.  I love their independent nature, streak of wildness, affection and domesticity on their own terms, well pretty much everything about them.  But if it were only for a day, I guess I'd want to fly.  I walk past a red-tailed hawk's nest every day and I have to say, they're pretty awesome.  They say they mate for life, too...smile...

Mitzi: Wow, you get to walk past a hawk's nest every day?  How awesome is that!  It would be cool to be able to fly.  (And I'd enjoy looking and being so dignified, too.)   OK.  Next question.  You had a blog entry that showcased a wonderful Dia de los Muertos decorations celebrating and honoring your family. How long have you been doing it? Do you dress up with face paint, too?

Donna: I took Spanish in school for 13 years and was introduced to the celebration in 7th grade by my Spanish teacher Mrs. Parizek who brought in Pan de los Muertos for a treat.  YUMBO!  I still make it.  The whole personal celebration came much later.  I'm an only child and each of my parents was the last of their siblings to pass and I've inhereted most of the photos and keepsakes from both sides.  When decorating for a Halloween party ( gosh, maybe 10 years ago?) I decided to do my dining room in the Dia de los Muertos theme since I'd begun to collect traditional Mexican art like this beautiful Catrina. 

Donna's Catrina

 Building a giant ofrenda (altar) and filling it with family treasures became a labor of love and a way to keep memories alive.  I've been adding to it ever since and have participated in a Dia del los Muertos Blog Hop since 2010.  If you're interested in this, you can check out some of my blog posts.

I'm excited to add the project I did with your "Las Calaveras" digi next year.  Although I've never painted my face, it's always been one of my dreams.  Sorry to say, I'm not too handy with the makeup.  LOL 

Mitzi: That's so wonderful!  What a great way to honor your family and keeping the memories alive!  It kind of reminded me of my grandfather's Buddhist altar.  All my ancestors photos were on the wall near it, and offerings of incense, fresh flowers, and food were made daily.  It's a fond memory from my childhood when my grandmother would let the kids go fetch the food offering off the altar after an hour or so, and let us eat it.   

OK, this next one is a random question.  What is your favorite genre of movies?

Donna: I pretty much love all kinds of movies so it's easier to say what I DON'T like.  LOL  Not a big fan of the slapstick kind of comedies.  I love the romantic kind, however, and suspense, psychological thrillers, horror (not necessarily the slasher type, but demonic posession, etc. is good), period pieces, and fantasy.

Donna's journal made with Flower Sprites digi's

Mitzi: Hehe, I totally get you there.  And the next question is something I ask everyone.  What is your favorite art tool and why?

Donna: A year ago I would say my Cricut, which is how I got started in papercrafting and how many of my followers know me.  However, I got a bit burned out with that and now am fully enjoying coloring with Copics and working towards improving on that front.

Mitzi: Awesome!  The next question is the one I love asking all my DT ladies.   When you were little, what did you want to be when you grow up? 

Donna: At 3 or 4 I wanted to be a nurse.  Even had a little nurse outfit, medical bag and rolling cart to play with.  (Back then, girls really didn't dream of being doctors)  However, I soon realized nurses gave shots which pretty much blew that out of the water.  I still can't look at injections, even on TV, although I no longer scream, cry and lock myself in my room when I need to get one. 

Mitzi: Aww, you must have looked so adorable!  Last question. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you like to go visit?

Donna: I toured all over Europe with my high school choir and enjoyed many places, as well as a trip to Bermuda with a high school boyfriend's family.  Since I've been married, our favorite trips out of the country have been all over Canada and we had a once in a lifetime trip to Bali that I'll never forget.  However, travel has become increasingly stressfull and unpleasant since 9/11 and unless I could be beamed to the destination, I'd prefer to stay home.  My hubby is really a home body so getting him to go anywhere is like pulling teeth.  We're now more the drive for a couple days away kind of travelers and fortunately that's easy to do in CA.  If I could go on my own though, I think Australia would be fun and I could visit some of my teamies and bloggie buddies.

Mitzi: Tighter security measures at the airports (plus crimes and political unrest in many parts of the world) definitely made international travel more stressful and unpleasant for sure.  It would be so cool for all of us to get together in Australia (or somewhere) some day, though! :D  

It was really fun getting to know you, Donna.  Thank you for the fun interview!  And I thank the readers for joining us today.  Hope you had fun reading this interview.  Now, I'd like to show you some more of Donna's lovely work.    You can also find her blog at this link.

Interview with Alyce Keegan

Hi, everyone!  Mitzi here.  Only 2 weeks till the announcement of our first challenge!  Are you excited?  I sure am!  I'm glad you can join us today for another installment of my Designer Interview series.  Today, I'm thrilled to introduce to you Alyce Keegan.  Everyone, please meet Alyce!

Alyce Keegan

Mitzi:  I remember the first card I saw from you with my digi was "Girl with Pansy". The coloring on the image was so unique and beautiful.  You really captured the magic and added something so special with your artistry.  How long have you been coloring/paper crafting, and how did you get started? 

Alyce's luscious card with lace and flowers with "Girl with Pansy"

Alyce: I have been crafting and colouring for just about 2 years now :) I first bought copics as my tutor suggested them to me in uni for my final assessment (I studied for a bachelor of interior design). I bought them...didn't know how to use them...and left them in the box ;) After uni I found them again and thought I spent way too much money on them not to use them! So I googled copics and found The Greeting Farm stamps... and then I was hooked! I practiced every night to get better. 

Mitzi: It's a good thing your box of Copics got a second chance.  Now they love you!  Next question.  One of the things we notice right away when looking at your cards is that you put a lot of yummy lace and flowers. The resulting look is very feminine and opulent, but remains delightfully airy. Just curious, but do you dress like that in real life, too? (I'm picturing a porcelain doll.) 

Alyce: Haha...this is my favourite question...YES! I wish I was born in the 1950s... I love that clothing style! We have a beautiful store over here called Review where all of the furnishings and outfits are vintage style and it is my most favourite shop :) And I pretty much ONLY wear dresses.

Mitzi: (Called it, didn't I?)  I knew it!! LOL  These dresses are adorable!   Now, When you're not coloring and crafting, what do you enjoy doing? 

Alyce: I love reading... but not vintage or feminine books...I love fantasy :) And I have a gorgeous gorgeous Persian cat called Lila. I love to play with her but she thinks I'm a bully hehe.

Mitzi:  A lacy, frilly girl playing with a fluffy kitty ... I totally get the picture!  Hehe.  I am so not surprised to hear that your kitty is a Persian.  Your taste in things is consistent.   Next question for you.  All of your cards are so carefully colored and elaborately decorated. On average, how long do you spend on a single project? 

Beautifully unique coloring with delightful dimension with "Peace Rose"

Alyce: Depending on the complexity of the image, it can take me between 1-2 hours to colour, and about 1-2 hours to make my card. I prefer colouring to making... but I have an amazing craft room where I sit downstairs and watch Buffy while making all of my cards in a row. I colour upstairs during the week so I can be with Jon and Lila :)

Mitzi: Nice!  Gosh, I seem to be the only one here who is completely anti-social while doing artwork...  Everything and everyone gets pretty much ignored when I'm absorbed in work.  A random question for you, Alyce.   Who is/are your favorite musical artist(s)?

Alyce: I love 80s and 90s music. I wish I was a Spice Girl...(Crafty Spice anyone?).

Mitzi: Haha, me, too, about 80s and 90s music! XD  I find myself listening to a lot of that while working.  Hehe, you would have been a cute addition to the Spice Girls.  I already know your answer, but I must ask.   I saw on your FB profile that you like the movie, "Milo and Otis" (I love that movie, too!!). Are you a dog person or a cat person? 

Alyce: I love Milo and Otis! Well, I must admit I am a cat person... but I love dogs because you can take them around. Lila is a pug nosed cat so I kind of mixed both Milo and Otis together to get her. ;) One day I would love a Pekingese dog...it's just like Lila but a dog, hehe!

"The Adventures of Milo and Otis", highly recommended by Alyce and Mitzi, is a 1986 Japanese film, originally titled "Koneko Monogatari" (A Kitten's Story).  US release version was narrated by the delightful Dudley Moore.

Mitzi: There's something irresistible about that face, isn't there?  Just so lovable!  The next question is going to be obvious, but I ask all my designers this question, so here we go.  What is your favorite art tool and why? 

Alyce: Copics...do they count? :) I'm not very good at other mediums...sometimes I practice but get frustrated so go back to copics!

Mitzi: Absolutely!!  Well, you work so well with them I can understand why you'd stick with them.  I have yet to try Copics, but I'm big on experimenting (read "playing and goofing around"), so you'll probably see me start using them at some point in the future.  OK, the next question is one of my favorite interview questions.  When you were little, what did you want to be when you grow up? 

Alyce: I think we covered this in question 5...Crafty Spice ;)

Mitzi: Haha, of course!  My bad!  Last question. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you like to go visit? 

Alyce: I would love to visit either Europe or the US. I have been to LA and Colorado twice now... but not since crafting. I would love to go over and meet some of my crafty friends/teach some classes... oh, and visit Disneyland!! (Again!) 

Mitzi: One is never too old for Disneyland! :D  Now, I'd like to show you some of Alyce's colored pieces.  Thank you for joining today for this interview with Alyce!  I had so much fun.  I hope you did,  too.  For tips and technique on Alyce's unique style of coloring, be sure to check out her site.  Links are found in the caption of the photos below. ;)

Next Monday will be our sixth and the final presentation of Designer Interview series.  I will be interviewing Donna Mundinger.  Hope you can join us!  Till then, happy coloring!!

Interview with Lorraine Craig Mackie

Hi, everyone!  Mitzi again, as your host. Welcome to the 4th installment of my Designer Interviews.  I'm glad you can join us. :D  Today, I'd like to introduce you to Lorraine Craig Mackie.  Everyone, please meet, Lorraine!

Lorraine Craig Mackie

Mitzi: I remember that the first card I saw from you that was made with one of my digi's was "Shades of Blue" (Orchid Fairy with Detailed Butterfly Wings), which got me so excited. I loved the monochromatic coloring in shades of grey, with beautifully subtle rainbow colors in the wings. And with the embellishment you gave to the card, the overall visual impact was breathtaking - opulent and elegant. I've read that you've been coloring/paper crafting for about 7 years. How did you get started?

Lorraine's gorgeous card with "Shades of Blue"

Lorraine: I came into crafting seven years ago when my mother who was already an avid paper crafter introduced me to it. Crafting and in particular paper crafting is a brilliant way to lose yourself, I often sit at my desk to colour an image for example and look up at the clock only to find that its the early hours of the morning.

Mitzi: I also remember when I saw your cover photo on FB of your work space. I recall I had one of those jaw-dropping moments (followed probably by a drool...). It's every crafter's dream space! How long have you had that awesome setup? And about how much time, on average, do you get to spend there every day?

Lorraine's crafty haven - beautifully organized and with plenty of bright natural light to work in

Lorraine: Oh, that's lovely of you to say so, Mitzi. My little craft area or as I call it "my crafty haven" is where I've been crafting now for 4years, before that I crafted at our dining table which really wasn't very practical, so I decided to get rid of the table, get a desk and what was our dining room has now become "my crafty haven." lol

Mitzi: My humble art studio became a nursery, then my child's room. ^^; I'll just have to build an addition to the house to reclaim my studio space. Next question. When you're not coloring and crafting, what do you enjoy doing?

Lorraine: When I'm not crafting I like to read mostly crime novels, I love to listen to music, spend a little time in the garden and go for walks either along the beach or in the surrounding countryside.

Lorraine's card in gorgeous autumn color scheme with "Red Poppies"

Mitzi: My gosh, how lovely! *jealous of walks along the beach* Your wonderful attention to detail probably got a good start when you picked up crocheting, knitting, and embroidery, as you mention in your bio. What is the biggest, or the most time-consuming, project you've ever tackled in one of these types of crafts?

Lorraine: Hmmm, I would have to say the most time consuming project I've ever tackled was the lace doily dressing table set that I crocheted for my Grandmother when I was about 11 or 12 years old....The crochet hook was so small and the thread was so fine....my Grandmother was so thrilled with them and they had pride of place on her dresser until she died only a few years ago.

Mitzi: What a lovely story! I just knew you would be the type of person who had the patience to complete a very demanding project even at a young age. Next question. Are you a cat person or a dog person? (Random, I know. But a crazy cat lady must ask this every time she interviews someone.)

Lorraine: I love all animals really but I adore cats both domestic and big cats.

Crazy Cat Lady: *nods happily*

Lorraine's stunning take on "Along Came a Spider"

Mitzi: Moving right along, but the next question is just as random. Do you like ethnic food? If so, what is your favorite dish?

Lorraine: I prefer plain & simple dishes, but I do like to try most foods... I'm not a lover of hot and spicy dishes like vindaloo or chilli's but I do like some aromatic dishes like a creamy Korma or stir fry's.

Mitzi: You sound a little like me. I was raised on a very traditional (everyday stuff, nothing fancy, but almost exclusively of whole food and healthy) Japanese diet, but am totally adventurous when I have the opportunity to try something new and different. I'd try any food at least once ... or a bite (may spit it out later lol). OK. Next question. What is your favorite art tool and why?

Lorraine: This is an easy question. My colouring tools (you see how I got around that one lol), namely my alcohol pens and my pencils.

Lorraine's beauitful limited palette card with "The Green Fairy"

Mitzi: And you use them with such grace on your projects! They love you. ^^ Now just for fun, when you were little, what did you want to be when you grow up? Everyone gets asked this question, too. ;)

Lorraine: I wanted to be a hairdresser/stylist and when I left school that's what I trained to be.

Mitzi: With what I've seen you do with paper crafts, I bet you were an extraordinary hair wizard! :D Last question. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you like to go visit?

Lorraine: Now this is another tricky question.... Hmm let me think... well, up until only a few years ago, I would have said I would have loved to go Island hopping around the Greek Islands, but now that I'm an avid crafter I would have to say that I would love to go to the CHA* in America. *Craft & Hobby Association - Their big convention takes place in Anaheim, CA, but they also have events in other locations.

Mitzi: Their convention would be fun to attend! :D I'd love to go there some day, too. Hehe, maybe someday, we'll be hugely successful and we'll all be there. That would be so fun, wouldn't it? Well, Lorraine, thank you so much for your time today. I had fun getting to know you, and I hope everyone did, also. Now, I will present the readers with some more of Lorrain'e beautiful creations.

Thank you, again, for joining me today on this interview. Next Monday, I will introduce you to Alyce Keegan in the Designer Interview #5. Hope you can join us! Till then, happy coloring!!

Interview with Debbie Pamment

Hello, everyone!  Mitzi here.  Thank you so much for joining me.  Today, I'm delighted to bring you the Designer Interview #2 with Debbie Pamment.
Everyone, please meet Debbie!

Debbie Pamment

Mitzi: The card you made with my "Girl with Pansy" digi made such a strong first impression on me. I thought to myself, "Here's a person who's as detail oriented as myself!". XD The attention and care you gave to every detail made me happy and excited. How long have you been coloring/paper crafting and how did you get started?

So fresh and luscious - Debbie's Card with "Girl with Pansy"

Debbie: For me papercrafting has been a fairly recent passion - I began my blog as a fairly new papercrafter in 2008. I had made a guest book for my nephew's wedding and had needed a tab punch for the pages - so I held a Stampin' Up demo to get one and joined the company soon after. As my cardmaking skills improved I started to see stamps that could be coloured rather than just stamped and I fell in love with them. I can't draw to save myself but I have always loved to colour and bring lineart to life. I had been into folk art (tole painting) for a number of years and loved learning how shadows and highlights could add dimension. I'm a work in progress and continue to learn and develope.

Mitzi: You certainly do have a wonderful understanding of shading and highlighting.  It totally shows in your work!  Looking at your beautiful projects gives me the impression that you're one of those people who are good at everything they try their hands at. Do you have some skills that you excell at that not very many people know about?

Debbie: Hahaha. I guess most of my "other skills" are craft based, too. I had a cake decorating business from home for a number of years making cakes for engagements, weddings and 21sts. I also made my own icing flowers and did a floristry course so I could arrange them properly. I also do a lot of sewing. My daughter used to figure-skate and I designed and made all the costumes for her and her synchronised skating team. I also ended up creating most of the costumes for the school play one year.

Debbie's lovely card with "Rite of Spring"

Mitzi: I also used to do a lot of sewing and embellishing on ballet costumes when I was a teacher at a studio.  I know how elaborate and extremely time-consuming these can be.  How cool that your daughter used to figure-skate!  Next question.  When you're not coloring and crafting, what do you enjoy doing?

Debbie: My hubby was sitting next to me when I read this question out - I won't tell you what HIS answer was - LOL. I love spending time with friends and family. I believe I have the reputation of being able to talk the back end off a horse and my daughter always wonders how I manage to find people to talk to wherever I am - even complete strangers in the checkout line - LOL. I also love nothing better than to snuggle in and watch a good movie :) 

Mitzi: Your cards have such a serene and feminine feel to them. Do you listen to music or do something, like light a candle, to enhance the mood of the space you're working in?

Debbie: I usually colour in the evenings - sitting with my family in front of the TV. I don't want my craft to take time away from them and love the little bits of help they give me at times. I'll often ask what colour way to go on this or that...even if I ignore their opinion ;) I love that they spend time giving them. It's these little things that make me happy when I colour.

Mitzi: I've often felt that being anti-social was kind of an occupational hazard of being an artist. ^^; That's great that you can color with your family around and remain interactive.  I'm going to ask you something completely random now.  Who is/are your favorite author(s)?

Debbie: Diana Gabaldon, Jane Austen, Mary Higgins Clark, James Pattinson.

Mitzi: Which animal, unique to Australia, do you adore the most? (random again!)

Debbie: I think the wombat, with koalas being a close second. The wombat is short, rounded and squat - and yet it has that "I want to cuddle" factor - I guess I see myself in them - LOL

Debbie's favorite - cute and cuddley wombat
Image courtesy of www.australian-wildlife.com

Mitzi: Dawww!  Wombats are cute!  So are koalas, numbats, sugar gliders... The continent is full of cute animals!  *squee*  (OK, calm down and compose myself here.)  Moving right along...  What is your favorite art tool and why?

Debbie: Oooh now that is a tricky one - I guess I couldn't live without a colouring medium - I'll even pick up the kid's pencils and doodle if my copics aren't there.

Mitzi: Just for fun, when you were little, what did you want to be when you grow up?

Debbie: I was sooooo proud of the fact I could say obstetrician rather than "baby doctor" - I loved telling all my friends that was what I wanted to be....unfortunately my school marks in science and maths later in life meant that dream was an impossibilty....even though I ended up working in the science field for over 20 years.

Mitzi: Last question. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you like to go visit?

Debbie: I'm really lucky to have lived in 5 different countries during my life - and visited many others. I love to travel, but asking me this question at this time, my answer HAS to be London as my gorgeous 21yo daughter is there and I haven't seen her for several months :)

Mitzi: I hope you get to visit her soon in London.  Thank you so much for your time today with this interview, Debbie.  I had a lot of fun!  I'll show our readers one more photo of your beautiful projects.  And for even more of her beautifully detailed projects, please visit her blog here.

Debbie's beautiful interpretation of "Crimson Wings"

Thank you again for joining me on this blog today for the designer interview.  I hope you enjoyed getting to know Debbie as much as I did. ^^  Next week, I will be interviewing and showcasing the work of Sandra Carey.  Hope you can join us!!  Till then, happy coloring~!
