I was interviewed by Alison Lee of Craftcast. Listen here.

About my work:

Some find their fashion aesthetic in the malls of America, others in flea markets or obscure on-line shopping categories, Lorimarsha is yet another alternative. Many of the garments you see on my flickr photostream are available in my Etsy store. If you are interested in something and have a question, don't hesitate to flickr mail me or convo me from Etsy.

I've been designing handbags and jewelry for about ten years and a couple of years ago, added recycled and redesigned clothing to the mix. I have been fortunate to sell my work in a variety of venues from a funky shop on Olvera Street in LA to The Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery in Washington DC. In the Fall of 2009, I will be a featured artist in the book "Creative Time and Space" by Rice Freeman-Zachery. My handbags have been featured on the cover of The Craft Report magazine and in the book "Hip Handbags. And I was lucky to be the featured designer in the Spring 2008 issue of Belle Armoire magazine. " I'm proud of those accomplishments but my true joy comes in making an individual person happy to have stumbled across my work.

If you'd like to link to my photos in blogs and such, I'd appreciate a heads up. Thank you!

    "Lori is one of the most creative and inspiring designers on Flickr. She can turn a bit of this and a little of that, and turn it into stunningly elegant runway quality couture. Her clothing and jewelry designs are always fresh, vibrant, and delightful; and she's an insightful, bright, warm, and lovely person, who I'm honored to call a friend. I could spend hours looking at what she's wearing, and each and every room in her beautiful home, and what's cooking in the kitchen, and who's come by to visit, and what she's up to in the studio. Lori is like a powerful little one woman hurricane of color and style, and I am sure you'll find her as rich of a source of inspiration as I do!"

    "Lorimarsha's photos are the most intriguing mix of color, creativity, beauty, family, love-of-the-earth, humor, and sheer positive energy. Finding Lori on flickr has rocked my world, made me think, made me laugh, and occasionaly, made me wipe away a tear or two.

    Lori's zest for life is a ray of sunshine. I am so happy to call her a friend, and so grateful to call her an inspiration. It's exhilarating to watch her photography skills blossom, it's a great ride!

    Shine on, Lori, you're such a bright light!"
