it is a lovely site, who runs by 3 lovley women and they did a short interview with me. here it is -

We are obsessed with Tamar Mogendorff's  creations.  They are magical and sweet...just like her.  Such beautiful  works of art, any child would be lucky to have these whimsical pieces  gracing their walls. 

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO CREATE THESE BEAUTIFUL PIECES OF ART?

Almost everything inspires me.  It can be the most banal thing, or a  random moment, or a book I happened to open and get an idea from.   Sometimes I feel the need to act in order to get creative...go travel,  watch a movie...but most times it can just happen by something totally  random, a conversation or a dream.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

Right now, I live on a beautiful street in Brooklyn.  I love it there!

IF WE WERE VISITING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHAT WOULD BE ON YOUR LIST FOR US TO SEE, DO, EAT AND SHOP?

A stop into Acorn is always a treat.  They have the most beautiful  and unique toys.  Layla is tasteful!  Go to Darr to say "hi" to the big  taxidermy bear.  BAM for a movie.  A bike ride to the farmer's market in  Fort Greene on the weekend.  Baked in Red Hook for a bite.  Sit on the  water with a book or just sit on a stoop. There is so much to do in  Brooklyn.  Most of all, wander around and bump into friends. 

WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT YOUR PIECES?

A lot of thought and time goes into my work.  It is all handmade in  my studio by me and a small group of amazing women.  Rose, Lania,  Matteah, Paola, Martha, Eva and Maria are my biggest treasures!  They  are as passionate as me.  Each piece is one of a kind in a way.  While  there is a pattern, no two are exactly alike.  

WHERE DO YOU FIND ALL THE MATERIALS FOR THE PIECES?

In so many places! A big part of my job is to keep up with all the  many different materials we need.  I have special ribbon, fabric and  wire that are made from different vendors.  I am always looking for new  materials.  

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CREATE EACH PIECE?

It varies since there are so many different styles and the process is  so different.  Some items are easy to make but there is a lot of  stitching involved.  The stuffing process takes time.  And sometimes it  takes a lot of time just to put the colors together.  There is a lot of  labor involved.  But my goal is to make everything look effortless!

WHAT IS THE BEST BUSINESS ADVICE YOU HAVE RECEIVED?

Keep it as a jewel.  Small and special!

WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE YOU STARTED THIS BUSINESS?

Many different things but mainly I was a student in art and design and a florist for many years.

WHO/WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SOURCE OF INSPIRATION?

There is no one in particular.  But I always listen to my friends.  I  listen to the street.  I listen to whatever is around me.  I guess  living here is my biggest inspiration.

Thanks Tamar!

Three kisses,

Chelsea, Rachel and Diana

from the archive

2010-05-09T20:43:00.000-07:00

when ever friends are coming to the studio they always asked why i don't make this or that.. just had a friend over who wondered how come i never made a flamingo - 'i did' i said, i did many things that no one knows, as i didn't keep all pictures on my site, it will be too much.. so i thought i will start post old pictures once in a while.. so here are the flamingos and some red corals (these were the first ones.. maybe i should bring them back for summer..), and another old picture i found. next week some more..

Ilana

2010-05-07T08:26:00.000-07:00

my studio is a street level, and so i meet some great friends through my studio windows.. one of them and the most special to me is Ilana! i get to see Ilana often, she always bring me one of her amazing drawings, a beautiful cookie, and her sunshine! here is Ilana with her school teddy bear, she had to choose a location to take a picture with it. one of them was my studio.
i love you Ilana! and thanks for letting me sharing your beauty :)

horseshoes

2009-11-22T20:39:00.000-08:00

'When kept as a talisman, a horseshoe is said to bring good luck. Many believe that to hang it with the ends pointing upwards is good luck as it acts as a storage container of sorts for any good luck that happens to be floating by, whereas to hang it with the ends pointing down, is bad luck as all the good luck will fall out..'
well i guess i hang it the wrong way..
but i do like them better that way.
lucky me.
