Kathy Cano-Murillo was all over CHA-she is one Crafty Chica! She should use that, oh wait she does!
That's her super colorful and wonderful book The Crafty Chic Collection on the left and are you wondering what she's holding on the right? Why it's a bobble head! Yes, they made Crafty Chica bobble heads. Your know you you've made it when they make a bobble head of you! How fun.
Crafters and artists love to hang with each other. Here are a bunch of crafty peeps posing for the camera in between book signings.
On the left of course is the Crafty Chica herself, Author of the new book Mixed Emulsions, Angela Cartwright, and Traci Bautista, author of Collage Unleashed.
Behind every good crafter, is an amazing husband. Kathy's husband was wonderful helping her at the Duncan booth with keeping the glitter, paint and charms in order. And speaking of charms, part of the new line of Crafty Chica crafting goodies that will be out in June 2008 from Duncan are these amazing little charms. I fell in love with them and whipped up these two necklaces.
This choker uses three square color charms linked in between silver beads.
This necklace I used three round white black and white charms and links in a variety of sizes.
To get the charm to hang in the center of the large focal link, I wrapped a piece of wire around the link in between where the ends of the necklace attached to the large focal link.
To see a project from The Crafty Chica Collection and more CHA photos pop on over to Kathy's Blog.
and Angel's too!
I LOVE the skeleton necklace...very original!! Now I want to make one! I picked up a random mix of charms...skeleton pets, butterfly, crown and of course the cupcake (my fave).
