TOP PINTEREST PINS ON REDROADSTUDIO

Lovely mix of popular pins on my Pinterest recently.  You just never know what will be pinned or liked when you choose so I enjoy every now and then seeing what has gone viral.  The Harvest Wallpaper was the most popular with over 75 pins and 7, 500 impressions (not sure what that is) but I can see why it was chosen.

I was delighted to hear the news from Lizzie Sibley, Community Manager for Pinterest in the UK to tell me I'd been chosen as a featured Pinner.  Just wanted to thank her and Pinterest for their unexpected support.  It goes without saying that I wouldn't have 300,000 followers if it weren't for the huge help I'm given by all my followers - thank you soooo much!

Pinterest Followers Thank You!!

Pinterest

When you work in the isolation of a studio and a computer you just never really know how people are responding to you or your work.  So to find that I have over 160,000 followers on Pinterest is just amazing and I wanted to thank all these lovely people for pressing my 'follow' button.  I don't know if I can ever thank each of you personally but I wanted to let you know how delighted and honoured I am!!

I started Pinterest as I kept losing links and web addresses that I was using with my students so pinning seemed a perfect solution for me.  I also wanted to gather inspiring work in the hope that it would rub off on me as at the time I was creatively drained.  It was also an opportunity to network, research and let other creative people know that I 'liked' their work (everyone loves a bit of support). But it is so easy to get hooked on pinning my mantra to my students was that it should be used in conjunction with doing - painting, collage, printing, making, sketching, getting out and about and looking, taking photographs, absorbing the world around you and letting your imagination flourish.

You can never predict what will go viral on Pinterest and it always surprises me what does.  This week the 3 most popular boards and pins were from my Pattern Board, my Urban Drawing Board and my Packaging Board.  I don't think I'll ever get used to how or why it happens but I appreciate every follower and repin!  So thank you!!!
