What Does An Interior Stylist Do?

An interior stylist is a professional who enhances the aesthetic appeal and functionality of interior spaces. Their work involves several key responsibilities:

1. Concept Development: They create a vision for a space based on the client's preferences, the intended use of the space, and current trends. This includes selecting a color palette, themes, and styles.

2. Sourcing and Selection: Interior stylists choose and procure furniture, decor, lighting, textiles, and accessories. They often work with various suppliers and may source unique or custom pieces to fit the design concept.

3. Space Planning: They arrange furniture and decor in a way that optimizes space and ensures a cohesive look. This involves understanding spatial dynamics and flow to create a functional and visually appealing layout.

4. Styling and Decoration: The stylist arranges and styles the chosen items within the space, paying attention to details such as balance, harmony, and focal points. This can involve staging items for photoshoots, real estate viewings, or personal enjoyment.

5. Collaborating with Other Professionals: They often work alongside interior designers, architects, contractors, and other tradespeople to ensure the design vision is realized. They might also work with photographers for styled shoots.

6. Trend Awareness and Adaptation: Keeping up-to-date with design trends and adapting these trends to fit the client’s needs and personal style is crucial. This ensures the spaces they create are contemporary and stylish.

7. Client Consultation: Understanding and interpreting the client’s vision and needs is a fundamental part of the job. This includes providing advice and suggestions to help clients achieve their desired outcome.

8. Budget Management: Managing the budget for styling projects, ensuring that the selections are within financial constraints while still achieving the desired look.

An interior stylist's goal is to create aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces that reflect the client's personality and lifestyle. They focus more on the decorative and visual aspects of interiors rather than structural changes, which distinguishes them from interior designers who may also handle architectural and structural elements.

Beach Mandala Making with Foraged Botanicals, Rocks and Shells

I love family 'group activities'!

Not only do you end up with a finished, creative project

but you end up making memories and offering a 

hidden lesson on collaboration and team work!

Making a foraged mandala costs

absolutely nothing but your precious time....

quality family time!

Use any items you can find in nature.

Make it any size. Ours was approximately 5 or 6 ft. in diameter.

Create any pattern you want.

Have everyone....all ages contribute to the overall design.

What is a Mandala?

You might have seen them in current colouring books!

A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. 

In common use, "mandala" has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a microcosm of the universe.

Forms which are evocative of mandalas are prevalent in Christianity: the celtic cross; the rosary; the halo; the aureole; oculi; the Crown of Thorns; rose windows; the Rosy Cross; and the dromenon on the floor of Chartres Cathedral.

According to art therapist and mental health counselor Susanne F. Fincher, we owe the re-introduction of mandalas into modern Western thought to Carl Jung, the Swiss psychoanalyst. In his pioneering exploration of the unconscious through his own art making, Jung observed the motif of the circle spontaneously appearing. The circle drawings reflected his inner state at that moment. Familiarity with the philosophical writings of India prompted Jung to adopt the word "mandala" to describe these circle drawings he and his patients made. In his autobiography, Jung wrote:

I sketched every morning in a notebook a small circular drawing, ... which seemed to correspond to my inner situation at the time. ... Only gradually did I discover what the mandala really is: ... the Self, the wholeness of the personality, which if all goes well is harmonious.

— Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, pp. 195–196.

Rebecca Rebouche: The Hustle

From the interview in the impressive magazine The Great Discontent

"Hustle is the dark horse of creativity, the close cousin of Grit and Tenacity. Without the hustle, drive, and complete devotion to making things happen, you are average. And I don’t mean hustle as in a nasty, shallow, step on anyone on your way to the top. No, not at all. I mean the unwillingness to make excuses about why you can’t achieve your dreams.

I have this saying: “There’s no music playing when your dreams are coming true.” That is the hustle. The hustle is humbling and, at best, completely authentic and gracious. Everyone sees me at the gallery opening, but no one sees me changing my clothes in my car. I could almost cry thinking about all the ways I’ve hustled, sacrificed, and scorched the earth with my striving. But what you start to realize is that hustle isn’t just for the novices and underdogs—hustle is a mindset, a practice. These days when I work really hard, I go for a run in the evenings to combat stress. As I run, I repeat to myself, “I refuse to fail. I refuse to fail. I refuse to fail.” Maybe that sounds simple, or even negative, but it’s edgy enough to strengthen my tenacity, to help me visualize my goals in relationship to my true north, and to cultivate enough energy to make those goals real." - Rebecca Rebouche

Rebecca Rebouche: Build Your Ship First

When asked what advice she would give a young person starting out, Artist Rebecca Rebouche said:

"My best advice comes in two parts: First, bold delusion. It all boils down to that. You have to believe in yourself in an almost crazy way. You have to be bold enough to make something from nothing over and over again. And you have to be delusional enough to think that your ideas are valuable, which is, of course, not delusional at all.

The second: You have to build the ship to sail on. In other words, you can’t tell people about the ship you are thinking about building and expect them to buy tickets for the first ride. Instead you must first put in the work. That often means heavy lifting, isolation, heaps of doubt, and epic failures and setbacks. It’s a lonely place to be when you are building your ship. But when you do it, and you set sail, people will see how beautiful and majestic it is, and there will be a line to buy tickets. This can be applied to any creative endeavor, especially when you consider that the better you build your ship, the longer you can sail before you have to make repairs and improvements." - Rebecca Rebouche

And speaking of all things 'shippy' and gutsy Pirate hustle,

How about my newest book?

For those dreaming of living the Pirate life; adventure, love, loot and rebellion. 

A photobook filled with photographs and poetry to take you there.

Wild Advice For Writers Starting Out From Cheryl Strayed

This is an excerpt from the most incredible interview with Cheryl Strayed.

• Interview by Tina Essmaker of The Great Discontent, July 10, 2012

If you don't read The Great Discontent, I would recco you do. Stellar.

(Be sure to click here to read the entire interview.)

Here is Cheryl's answer to Tina's question:

"If you could give a piece of advice to a young writer starting out, what would you say?

Hmm…okay, well…

Just give it to us straight, Cheryl.

(laughing) Write like a motherfucker would have to be my first bit of advice. What that means to me is that—as I say in the column—you really, really have to be a warrior and a motherfucker. And you have to be resilient and faithful. You can’t be a wimp. You can’t stand around bitching about how hard it is and how indignant you are that no one appreciates your work, about how no one will publish you, or how people at parties make you feel stupid, about how you’re really not only a waitress or whatever job you’ve taken, about how your parents don’t understand you, or any of the stuff I bitched about plenty myself. I don’t say this from a place of condemnation, but rather allegiance. You really have to buck the fuck up, do the work, and know that you’re probably going to have to do more work than you imagined you’d have to do to get to the place that you imagined as successful. And when you get there, you’ll see that “successful” feels less successful than you thought it would. Success in writing is about keeping the faith over a long, long stretch of time. This isn’t something you just do a little bit and then get a reward at the end of—it’s a life’s work.

I believe in that voice I trusted all along the way. I believe in writing as a calling. If you truly feel that calling in you, then listen to it and respect it, but don’t expect that anything is going to be given to you—you have to get it. That’s true of any art form; any artist will tell you that."

Finding Vivian Maier

Vivian Dorothea Maier (February 1, 1926 – April 21, 2009) was an eccentric American street photographer. Maier worked for about forty years as a nanny, mostly in Chicago's North Shore, pursuing photography during her spare time. She took more than 150,000 photographs during her career, primarily of the people and architecture of New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles, although she also traveled and photographed worldwide.

Amazon has rated her book the No.1 bestseller this year!  Look here.

During her lifetime, Maier's photographs were unknown and unpublished, and in fact she never developed many of her negatives. A Chicago historian and collector, John Maloof, acquired some of Maier's photos in 2007, while two other Chicago-based collectors, Ron Slattery and Randy Prow, also found some of Maier's prints and negatives in her boxes and suitcases around the same time. Maier's photographs were first published on the Internet in July 2008, by Slattery, but the work received little response. In October 2009, Maloof linked his blog to a selection of Maier's photographs on the image-sharing website Flickr, and the results went "viral", with thousands of people expressing interest. Critical acclaim and interest in Maier's work quickly followed, and since then, Maier's photographs have been exhibited in North America, Europe, and Asia, while her life and work have been the subject of books and documentary films.

Bouts of Intense Hibernation

You just have to let those creative souls slip away into their bouts of intense hibernation. It's worth the wait. They arrive at their Spring, crawling towards the world; stiffly, with new work. Gifts for humanity.

Advice For Beginning Writers From Cheryl Strayed

From the incredible Writer, Cheryl Strayed:

1. Write a lot. But do it on your schedule. This might be every day. It might not be. The point is not to follow other people's rules but to make your own. Then follow them.

2. Don't be in a hurry to publish. Be in a hurry to become the best writer you can be.

3. Find the work that moves you the most deeply and read it over and over again. I've had many great teachers, but the most valuable lessons I learned were from writers on the page. Study the sentences your favorite writers made until they live in your bones.

4. Find your tribe and honor it. Become friends with other writers. Exchange work. Talk shop. Ask them questions about how they write. Tell them about how you do. This will make you feel less alone and you'll share a bond with people who know what it is you're up to on a core level. Be happy for them when they have successes. You'll be glad they're happy for you when your day arrives.

5. Do your homework. If you want to publish your writing, research what that means. There is so much information available about everything you want to know. It's your job to seek it. Don't expect anyone to hand it to you. Apprentice yourself to the craft and the profession.

6. Be brave. Write what’s true for you. Write what you think. What about what confuses you and compels you. Write about the crazy, hard, and beautiful. Write what scares you. Write what makes you laugh and write what makes you weep. What what makes you feel ashamed or proud. Writing is risk and revelation. There’s no need to show up at the party if you’re only going to stand around with your hands in your pockets and stare at the drapes.

7. Be humble. Other people might be right when they tell you this or that isn't really working in your manuscript. Listen to them. Challenge your attachments to the things you've written. This can be a painful process, but it almost always improves your work.

8. Don't believe that you have to "know someone" to get published (or get an agent or win a prize). Nothing good that has happened to me as a writer happened because I knew someone. Everyone in the lit business is looking for poems and stories and essays and books they love. This doesn't mean dumb things don't occur, that there is no such thing as this leading to that because so-and-so knew so-and-so, but beautiful things happen far more often than most people seem to believe. Make people fall in love with your writing. That's how you get published.

9. Be strong. No one is going to ask you to write. Many people will tell you not to. Don't listen to them. If you want to be a writer, be a writer. You don't need permission. If you need permission let this be it. I give it to you. Now go.

She works in soft fibre 

and has a history of working as a mechanic.

She's a beauty with glowing feminine skin

and pumps iron for fun.

She spins the finest of art yarn

yet does not knit.

Fawn is funny and straight up smart.

Blunt and encouraging.

Inquisitive and friendly.

You would love her.

Ladies and Gentlemen

I give you

Honorary Ambassador, Fawn LeClair

Q: 

Your creative talent is mesmerizing. How did you get started?

A: 

Thank you! How I got started is kind of weird. Fibre has become a family affair. My sister, Christine, attended Sheridan College and fell in love with felting. She developed an absolutely beautiful felting technique and was chosen by Sheridan to represent the college in The One Of a Kind show. My mom helped her prepare for it and started playing with the fibre herself. My mother breeds Newfoundlands and a puppy buyer saw the fibre and gave my Mom an OLD spinning wheel that she had. So Mom learned to spin. And then bought two wheels for herself. I used to spend hours staring at her spinning because like you said, it is mesmerizing. One day 7 years ago, she asked if I wanted to try. I got that old wheel that was given to her years ago and taught myself to spin. She showed me the basics and I took that wheel home. To this day I STILL spin on that wheel. It is my baby. She is falling apart and my husband has to fix her and helps her limp along. It's loud, and ugly, and not what you think of when you think of a spinning wheel. But man, do I love that wheel. 

Q: 

What is the name of your business?

A: 

WikketyWackYarn. I do this for the love and the fun of it. I didn't want a pretentious or whimsical name. And... My yarn is wikketywack.

Q:

Tell us about your life journey that ended up present day, spinning.

A: 

Oh boy. That's a big one... Believe it or not, I went to college to be a car mechanic. Again... not a whimsical person, lol. I got sick of my car breaking down and needing to be rescued, so I went to college knowing NOTHING about cars and learned a LOT. I worked on cars from 2002 to 2007. I met my husband (Because I was a gearhead) in 2004. I moved with him to Thunder Bay and when he graduated we got married and moved to Wasaga Beach. At this time I decided I wanted a change. I worked at a local vet clinic as a kennel hand and quickly got promoted to become the vet's assistant. It was around this time that I taught myself to spin. After I got pregnant with my first baby, I stopped working. And I started putting a LOT of effort and time into my spinning. My Mom told me that I was talented and I should think about selling my yarn. So I did. I would dress up my little baby in a tiny suit and go to yarn stores and introduce him as my 'Business associate'. I have always wanted to be a stay at home Mom, like my mom was with my sisters and I. I ended up having my yarn in quite a few stores across Ontario. I had moved from just spinning 'yarn' to spinning 'art yarn'. That is where my passion is. In spinning art yarn. And when you look at my products you can tell. Aside from my OWN yarn that I spin for stores, I also work for 2 alpaca breeders, hand spinning their Alpaca. One is in Colbourne and one is in the Barrie area.

Q:

Where is your studio and what is it like?

A: 

My 'Studio' is my living room, lol. And it is a MESS. I'm not going to lie, I don't have a very big house. Yet, I have 3 spinning wheels in my basement and bags and bags of fibre. Fibre is messy, because when it isn't spun, it's just tiny hairs. So they get stuck all over the carpet and everything else they touch. It usually looks like I have sheared a VERY colourful sheep wherever I sit.

Q:

Is this a difficult skill to learn?

A: 

Difficult is all relative, isn't it? It is a skill. Yes. It has to be learned. Yes. Is it difficult? It can be. It is harder than it looks, for sure. However, I personally believe that having an open mind is the MOST important part of spinning. It's not co-ordination. It's not have strong legs and hands. It's being able to open your mind and trying something and not EXPECTING a certain outcome. A lot of my very best work happens when I am just...playing. I want to see what the fibre will do if I _____. How will it look? How will it react? What if I put more tension here? Now less here? I don't expect anything, I want to see what will happen. If you expect yourself to be able to spin a perfectly even worsted weight skein in the first try, then yes. It is very difficult and you are setting yourself up to fail and hate it.

Q: 

Do you teach and if yes, we’d love to hear more about this?

A: 

I DO teach. I have taught a few people privately and I recently taught my first 'class'. It was... amazing. The students had SUCH a great time. I taught the class at the Creativ Festival, Fall 2014. Honestly, I was nervous. After the class I think I had at least 15 people ask me if I had any other classes planned for the festival or if I taught in the Toronto area because they want to sign up. We had a total blast in that class. I tried to make it obvious in my Bio for the class that this was not going to be your typical spinning class. Because I am NOT your typical spinner. I teach completely backwards from what 'Master Spinners' teach. I don't want you to have a perfectly even spun single. We can certainly do that at some point. But that is not the goal for beginners. That is so much stress. When you paint, you don't make every line with a ruler. It's not supposed to look a certain way. It should look like YOURS. And that is how I teach spinning.

Q:

What do you think about when you are spinning?

A: 

Usually, I think about things going on in my life at the time... Family, friends, powerlifting, what to make for dinner, what I have to do next, what my next colours will be that I work with. Whatever!

Q:

Where can we purchase your yarn?

A: 

My yarn can only be purchased at Petals In Thyme. I actually pulled all of my yarn from every store that it was in. You can get my cowls at distill in the Distillery district in Toronto as well as Petals inThyme, but my yarn can only be purchased at Petals in Thyme or through me.

EDITOR'S NOTE:  Be sure to see a notice about available studio space at the very bottom. 

Q:  Do you use social media? 

A: 

Do I ever. I am a social media addict. It's a problem. I have a WikketyWackYarn page on facebook where you can see cowls and some of the yarn that I have spun. Mostly it's just an avenue for people to place custom orders.

Q: 

Where does the raw materials come from and who dyes it?

A: 

The raw materials come from animals. 

Just kidding. I think I'm funny. My mother, since becoming a fiber addict bought a fibre mill. So she processes all of the fibre AND hand dyes all of the fibre that I work with. Farmers come to her with their dirty fleece/wool and she skirts it all, washes it, puts it through the carder, dyes it... She has a top secret dying process that is out of this world... She won't even tell me what she does. She is amazing. Her colourways are incredible. 

Q:  

Do you have a favorite colour?

A: 

I love reds and dark green.

Q:

Coffee or Tea?

A: 

Both. Coffee, tea, water, beer. That is all I drink and they all have their place.

Q: 

Do you listen to music while you spin?

A: 

I listen to the relaxing sounds of children’s television and screeching children.

Q: 

Do you knit or crochet?

A: 

Nope. I know... it's bizarre... I know how to knit a LITTLE. But I could never knit something worth keeping, lol.

Q:  

Any other hidden talents?

A: 

It's not a talent, but I powerlift. I am an avid 'lifter' and I deadlift, squat, overhead press and bench at least once a week for each lift.

OH! I do have something else I guess... I wood work. I make wooden jewelry that I LOVE to wear and I also make extreme knitting needles and crochet hooks. I call them my Knitting Nunchucks and Hecka Huge Hooks. They are all handmade by me. 

Q:  

Any advice for knitters?

A: 

Ummm... I don't have any advice because I don't knit, however I have been told once you use handspun you will never want to use anything else.

Q: 

What are the current trends with yarn?

A: 

There is a new thing with yarn called EXTREME KNITTING. It's super thick, special yarn that when knitted up on extreme hooks or crocheted with extreme crochet hooks it's like a big fluffy warm cloud. 

Q:  

Favorite cake?

A: 

I love ALL cake. If there is cake, I will eat it.

Q:  

Give us 3 words from your spinning glossary and explain them:

A: 

1) Niddy Noddy: A wooden tool that I use once I am done spinning the yarn to create a skein. I tie the yarn off on one part and then continuously wrap it around the niddy noddy to get the skein wound off of the wheel.

2) Worsted weight: This refers to the thickness of your spun yarn. It's basically the gauge of your yarn.

3) Plied: This is when you take two singles that you have spun (So you have 2 completed bobbins of yarn spun up) and then you 'ply' them together. In other words, you put them together and spin them BACKWARDS from the way you spun the singles. 

Q:  

How do you promote your business?

A: 

Well, I have a facebook page, I go to festivals and shows, I put it into stores... Word of mouth is always great.

Q: 

Where can we purchase your yarn?

A: 

You can purchase my yarn through Petals in Thyme, or through me directly.

Q: 

Tell us about your extreme knitting needles?

A: 

The extreme knitting needles are pretty different. They start out as just wooden dowels and then I drill and sand them down to needles. Once I have them smooth enough, they go through a 7 day process of being oiled. I use a tung oil and buff the needles until they are smooth and ready for knitting. Once they are completely dry, I put a tube into each end and create extreme circular needles.

Q: 

Favorite Artists?

A: 

I am a really big music fan. Music soothes my soul. Oddly, my favorite type of music is rap. My current favorite artist is SonReal. He's a Canadian rapper from a tiny place called Vernon in Vancouver. I've met him a few times and been to a few of his shows. He's really talented and has the greatest attitude towards life.

Q: 

Give us 5 words that best describe you:

A: 

Fiery. Outspoken. Different. Fun. Loyal.

Q: 

May we have all of your contact info and social media information?

A: 

Oh my... Aren't you going to take me to dinner first? Just kidding, I eat too much anyway.
