Designer Feature...Lilla Rogers

Today we have the creative mind behind the fun, eclectic Ruby Violet line--Lilla Rogers! Lilla has brought a vast collection of designs that will bring creativity to every project.

My line, Ruby Violet, is about fun, funky, vintage, color, and mixing them all up to create something you love. I design things that I think crafters would love to work with on their scrapbooking and jewelry projects. Most everything can be interchanged so you can use them in both craft areas. You don't even need to know how to do jewelry because it only requires glue! So that leaves you the fun of designing and playing.

I am an avid collector of odd bits and vintage things. My ideas of a fun day is to find a new quirky shop to look for treasures. Pretty much whenever I travel I like to find a bead store or craft store and, if they have a work table there, I like to work on a project in the shop and meet new people. For me, making things is the best stress reliever. And doing it with friends is really a guarantee for a great time.

My big news is that I've just finished writing a book for Quarry/Rockport called, "I Just Like to Make Things", due out February 2013. It's all about art and success and loaded with photos and artwork. As an artists' agent for a few decades, I have a LOT to say about the art biz. There's a section where I show how I developed the Ruby Violet line with lots of pictures. Thank god in my spacey head I remembered to take photos of the process as I went along over the years so the visuals of the making of the line is pretty cool. I truly hope the book is helpful and interesting to everybody who wants to have more fun with their art and maybe even make a living at it.
