The Retro Diva Zazzles!!
Hey Kids! Don’t think that my absence means nothing new to share. FAR from it. I have many projects in the works. MANY. As they develop I’ll be sure to let my readers know first!
Last week I decided that The Retro Diva needed a Zazzle store.
Graphics design is another hobby of mine and what better way to have focused projects then to keep to The Retro Diva theme. 
Sometimes I like to make things specific to various craft talents. This one is for all those knitting angels out there that do what I cannot! I have had the goal to learn how to knit for years and have yet to grasp it.
I will be posting updates with the latest on this project. As always I welcome all feedback.
If you have an idea that you’d like custom made- let me know!

TRD Artist Spotlight: The Altered Head
I love, love, love talking with other artists- especially those that are interested in pinups and the rockabilly culture. I have found some amazing artists that just floor me with their abilities.
So, as an ongoing series for this blog, I will be posting TRD Artist Spotlights as I find these wonderfully talented people the world must know about.
Starting with AlteredHead on Etsy.
TRD: What is your background? Where are you from? What is your passion and what influenced you to start creating?
AH: I am from Maryland originally but re located to Phoenix, Arizona. My passion is to create something new each day. I come from a family background of artists that have inspired me from within. I have realized over the years that my creativity and uniqueness was in my genes all along and that all I had to do was "just add water".
TRD: What inspires you to create? What is your favorite tool to use when crafting?
AH: I am inspired by several different mediums . I have a certain fondness for female anatomy and beauty. Most of my assemblage, collage, ACEO and artists trading cards feature Victorian nudes and retro pin up girls. I love to incorporate various found items, color and various metal bits to add a 3D effect.
TRD: Who/what motivated you to sell your art online?
AH: Motivation to sell online came from a dear friend who has a shop here on Etsy. She has truly motivated me and supported my networking efforts .
TRD: What is your goal with your craft/store?
AH: My goal is to share my creativity with others. All of my proceeds (which have mostly been from private sales), go toward supplies. I do this for fun and although sales are paramount to some, it is not the end all be all for me.
TRD: Any words of advice for fellow artists and artisans?
AH: CREATE AND JUST BE
I love AlteredHeads awesome work and think it would look lovely on my very bare walls! It may just be there one day.
