Thanks so much!

I really enjoyed this, you have excellent interview skills. Feels like we are just friends hanging out together. It's fun to get to know the puzzle creators and artists who bring us so much joy. I'd be very interested in seeing more videos along this line.

You have such a nice, homey, comfortable way of interviewing; I enjoy these. Thank you, Emilee!

I'm going to assume Kelly is going to watch this at some point so Im going to say- when you branch into watercolor and other bits- do some greeting card style or 8x10- as a middle aged mom who loves to dabble in all arts also- the biggest problem is WHAT to do with everything I make or do. I have been doing diamond panting "blank" greeting cards- I can make something and enjoy it and then have it be useful/consumable!! Diamond paintings would be stunning with this art also!

Great questions! I've enjoyed watching the behind the scenes view on her instagram, and this was an even better look. The piece count thing is funny. I used to be a ride-or-die 1000pc puzzler, mostly for some notion of "value." But when I started speed puzzling, I realized just how fun 500pc puzzles are, and so many images are better suited to something smaller than 1000pc! Also working from home--how nice to confidently finish a puzzle in one night (if I leave a bigger one on the table when I work from home, it's a problem!)

I love my smaller piece counts! While I enjoy 1000 piece puzzles, I very seldom redo them. I used to think, "Why spend so much on a 300 piece, it'll be done in 40 minutes." But I've realizede my 300 piece puzzles get redone over and over. One of my 500 piece puzzles I just redid for the seventh time!

Such a great interview. I agree with another commenter, your interview technique is part of what made the interview work so well, although I have to say, Villager is a great brand, and I thought Kelly really responded to you in such a genuine warm way. Fascinating to hear her beginnings.
