How are your art and music classes going along these days? They are smooth sailing. What I love about art and music is that once you have the skills to do them, you don't need to actively upgrade yourself to stay employed. Are you teaching violin as you are so good at it? I only teach one other person. It definitely helps me with my skills. What do you like best about teaching? That's great for work experience and some pocket money for shopping. The most rewarding aspect of teaching is seeing my students learn a new skill or improve their abilities. I feel accomplished seeing that I have enriched their lives. What is your favorite type of art to produce? Pencils, oils, etc. I love producing tie dye art on clothes. Not only do I save money on clothes by making my own creations, I can easily make some money on the side selling them on Etsy and thrift shops. That sounds like a really good side business. Is it difficult to sell items? It was difficult in the beginning. Although I still don't have many customers, the few I do have are mostly repeat buyers who often buy in large quantities. Where do you usually shop for clothes? I like to shop online. It is so much more convenient now than it use to be. Especially since it is easy to return items. Do you ever have people return things you sell on Etsy? Yes, I agree. Once in a blue moon, I do get returns. It's the expense of doing business. When I get returns, I usually re-sell them to the thrift shops I shop at and the money I earn is used to apply to the items I shop for. That sounds like a really good business. Maybe I'll have to look into it. Do you incorporate any cheetahs into your designs? Yes, I often do. Sometimes I wear cheetah print from head to toe!
