Feature #1 Pie in the Sky
For this blog we are featuring an amazing crafter who I’ve been a fan of for a good long while! Pie in the Sky make awesome designs to please the comic book, box set, film fans out there. I had the pleasure of asking Pie in the Sky creator Poh-Ling some questions last week. Links to Pie in the Sky are below and I would totally recommend you check out her work! It’s a great addition to any space in your home. Seriously, who doesn’t want some American Psycho stitching on your wall? Honestly..
Well to start it would be cool to know about how you got started, what attracted you to create?
Have always loved art & crafts from a young age. Was always drawing, making greeting cards, experimenting with different mediums/techniques, etc. My favourite subject at school was art, so always been creative. Studied Graphic Design at college/uni. Have always wanted to start my own business in art & crafts, so finally took the plunge!
You use a lot of comic book/film references, have you always been a big fan of this imagery?
I started working on a Breaking Bad series of crafts simply because I loved the show, and had a great idea for a cross-stitch sampler! From there, I came up with ideas for other TV shows/films, etc. and also feedback from friends/customers on what they would like to see.
How do you find the feedback being a creative business in Glasgow?
All feedback I receive is very positive and this encourages me to keep on going and come up with new ideas, etc. Still relatively new so learning each day.
Pie in the Sky will appear at the Big Glasgow Comic and Craft Fair this Saturday at Classic Grand! She will also feature at the MCM Comic Con in September being held at the SECC. You can contact Pie in the Sky via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/PieInTheSky2014 and Instagram at https://instagram.com/_pieinthesky_/ if you wish to have a browse or request any work or especially if you want to see where she’s at!
Pie at the Sky is fantastically quirky, fun and unique I would recommend checking them out.
