Finding the Eco in the Craft: Part 2
Craft and Hobby Association Conference and Trade Show, Winter 2013, Anaheim, CA.
There were just a few more things I wanted to share with you!
Cre8time is a movement dedicated to helping people reclaim their creativity.  Maybe just 8 minutes a day, or 8 hours a month. Their website
The Cre8time booth featured the work of several CHA designers in display cases.  I really loved these button sculptures by Halina Tepper.
Sierra Hills Stone.  When I stepped into the stone filled booth at CHA, it was like a retreat into nature, resident artist Ro RIvas was quietly carving in the corner.  Sierra Hills Stone sells sculpture quality stone, carving tools and accessories, and offers classes and workshops in soapstone carving for ages 5 to 55.
Creative Feet had this beautifully decorated sewing machine. I like the idea of giving new life to the tools you have.
In addition to the How to Paint You Sewing Machine DVD, Creative Feet also sells a variety of generic, easy to use sewing machine feet that can do different techniques.
Crafty Cat had a variety of cool tools that help with small detailed work.  The Flex-i-File™ Sticky Micro Stix would have been great to use applying the sequins to the skirt I made for Elena of Charity Wings.  You can see Lindsay Obermeyer using the Micro Stix in this post at Serendipity.Â
Last is the Oliso Smart Iron. It is amazing, see for your self:
Here's a link to the video also.
