We are always on the lookout for unique Hunger Games merchandise and were lucky enough to stumble upon some great work by Shylah from Upstate New York. We interviewed her via email last week to learn more about how and why she got into creating Hunger Games inspired items such as jewelry and blankets. We’ve also included some links so that you can check out Shylah’s work for yourself.
How did you first get inspired by Hunger Games?
“I have a Masters degree in adolescent literacy, so I read a lot of YA books. In my final semester, my professor assigned us The Hunger Games, and I was hooked. I have a background in History and Political Science, and the dystopian world that Collins portrayed (although fantastical) felt extremely real and current. I blew through the books—like many people I couldn’t read them fast enough! When I finished Mockingjay I was floored. I was so moved by the depiction of war and the realness of the struggle and sacrifice that I just couldn’t bear to let the story go.”
