All Craft Real Income
Read moreI believe that being a crafter is an achievement. People who “make things” every day overcome great challenges to craft useful things and works of art. In my mind – that is enough.

Inspired is Done
Read moreI’ve always had a hearty love for “getting inspired.” I loved to seek out new ideas, soak them up – and then move on with a lighter step. Is this process of “getting inspired” a thing of the past? Maybe it just ain’t rewarding anymore. As we are so saturated with brilliance that we’ve toughed up a bit? Perhaps it’s
