A blog about crafts, art, selling both and other things that strike my fancy.
One of the most fun things about running sites like Blog About Crafts and Crafty Tips Arts & Crafts Directory is how many wonderful and talented people I get to meet. Through the sites and from attending craft shows and fairs, I speak with many artisans and crafters and am continually blown away by the amazing things they are creating.
When I’m lucky enough to tear one of them away from their workshop or get a few moments alone with them, I get an opportunity to explore how and why they create what they do and share it with my readers.
Other articles filed under Artist Profiles come from great stories culled from the news, like the earthquake survivor who filled her time crocheting or the artist who insulted an entire community and what we can learn from his mistakes.
If you are an artist or crafter, who has something exciting and new to share, I would love to hear from you, learn more about your work and invite you to share your work and a bit about yourself. If you know of any great stories in the news about inspirational crafters, please let me know about it so I can share it with others and help promote their cause.
They just don’t make them like this anymore. There just is something about those folks in my grandmother’s generation who are made stronger than the rest of us. Maria D’Antuono, a recent survivor of the Italian earthquake in Tempera, found a unique way to pass the time while waiting to be rescued.
