A couple weeks ago, I was able to pop over to The Creative Connection's second annual conference in St. Paul. The inspirational women's event featured business experts and entrepreneurs, hands-on workshops, panels, and a craft market. As I was cruising the aisles, I stopped to marvel at these lovely, nature-inspired lights by Danielle Quigley, who hails from the east coast. She's been making her handmade luminaries for two years now.
Visual artist and metalsmith Susan Myers plumbs our thoughts on consumption with her objects crafted from reclaimed sheet metal. Throughout her various series of works she uses discarded silver-plated serving trays, which she finds by scouring yard sales and thrift stores.
I'm so excited about my Heck Yes Craft pick for this week. Recently, a couple lucky ACC staffers and I had the pleasure of heading to Nancy Golden's home studio. You may know Nancy from her work as an interior designer and as former host of decorating shows on the HGTV and DIY networks. She also happens to be the mother of the delightful designer, Nate Berkus.
