Nicola Clerk is the wonderful person behind Poppy & Bea. At Society High End Handmade we asked her a few questions to find out a bit more about Nicola and her design process.
What
is one tool of the trade you can not do without?
This
is a hard one but my glue gun, rivet gun and die cutter all come in second to
my big shiny Singer scissors!
What
is your creative process?
I
like to collect materials and plan colours as part of my daily life but come up
with most of my new ideas when I'm working to a deadline on other things; I find
when I'm really busy 'making' I procrastinate with developing new products)
lots of late nights I'm afraid).
How
does knowing your creative process help?
Mostly
the ideas I'm most hesitant about turn out to be the best ones. I think it's
because I think them over for so long, then they come bursting to life when I'm
supposed to be doing something else.
If
you could pick only one prop to take with you into a photo booth, what would it
be?
Probably
Poppy & Bea (they're my daughters and my inspiration).
Best
app ever and why?
Pinterest- I just love looking at all the pretty
things...
