Creative or Not?


I am just sitting here pondering the comments many people give me that I must be so creative to do what I do. I just wanted to take a moment to credit my wonderful illustrators Penny Johnson, Marisa Straccia, Olivia Kneibler, Angela Brown and the many other miscellaneous illustrators that I license artwork from. They are the truly creative ones who dream up concepts and make what we at Bunnycup special. Without their creativity and vivid imaginations, Bunnycup embroidery would be just another embroidery website but it is their talents that make Bunnycup designs stand out.

As for me being creative, I have to say that I personally would describe myself more as technical. I was a Chartered Accountant in my prior life (auditor and compliance specialist) if that can help paint a picture. Digitizing is a technical process of creating a data file from artwork though I suppose some reflection of creativity is seen in the way a design is digitized and the different stitch types and effects.

Anyhow, this post is just to say thank you to my wonderful illustrators who so tirelessly create wonderful illustration after wonderful illustration and terrific concepts. Without you, Bunnycup would not be what it is. So thank you.

I'm glad you've found such great illustrators and an outlet for your skills that benefits us creative types :)I wouldn't discount your creative side too much though... it takes a creative eye to know what designs will and won't work for the Bunnycup image and clients.

Ahh...Blushing! Thank you Ashlea, it is you who makes what I do wonderful, the way you transform a simple illustration into a beautiful piece of wearable art! I am inspired by you...when you suggest a theme to me my creative juices go into overdrive and I start to think outside the square...especially now I have bought a super dooper embroidery machine. So...Thank you Ashlea! Cheers Ange
