The moon tells me a secret, a confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me
Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

PM: When was your company founded?
February 2014
PM: Where are you based out of?
Orlando Florida
PM: How many are involved in the company?
Just myself
PM: What inspired you to start the company?
When I became a stay at home mother I began to focus more on my artwork and decided I might have a go at some kind of income if I was going to stay home and draw or paint while my son was napping anyway. I started with jewelry and expanded to framed prints. By January 2015 I had the idea to make a coloring book of my star seed characters. I’m so glad I saw that through because it was really rewarding and I get to make as many volumes as I like!
PM: Did you have a background in crafting prior to starting the company?
Yes I even went to college for art and never saw it through until I didn’t have a choice but to try and become an artist. It was really so that I could remain a stay at home mom.
PM: Did you run into any problems or resistance while launching your company?
No, not until recently have I had less and less time to work on art because my 14 month old is napping less and needing more stimulation (he is running now with sneakers on!). So I have slowed down a little and become more focused on private commissions lately. I do plan on starting my second Star Seeds coloring book this summer though and I’m very excited about that!
PM: What is the most exciting part of running your own business?
Well, relying on yourself is daunting as well as exciting because you get what you put into it- I am glad I have something where right now I can control my work load but I am making money doing what I would be doing in my spare time anyway.
PM: What do you see in the future for your shop?
I try to take things one day at a time and look only a few months ahead for planning since things can change so rapidly. I would love to do something on a bigger scale with my coloring books and characters, even if it has to wait until the pressures of being mom lighten a little. I would love to make dolls to go with the coloring books.
