I've been playing back old shows while painting to get a feel for the show. I can't believe how much I've learned. It's incredibly interesting to hear how other people have found their path to a creative living. I loved listening to both Jennifer Perkins of Naughty Secretary Club and Marisa Palwelko of Modern Surrealist, LLC. Both women shared their unique journey to creating successful businesses. Looking forward to listening to my friend Margot Potter talk about her latest beading title Beyond the Bead this afternoon.
The one show I caught live was Tiffany's interview of her mom Aleene, of Aleene's Tacky Glue Fame. Her stories of how different the crafting business used to be touched home. I clearly remember the days of shopping for supplies in model and hobby shops. My mom would never been able to control me had the mega craft chains existed in those days. I loved her answer to Abby Fosters (editor Crafts 'n Things) How do we inspire people to craft, her simple answer was to teach them. Her strength of character and determination shined through the inspiring interview. The best part of listening live is following along in the chat room it's just amazing to see the craft talent that checks into the show.
I'll be answering questions about my newest title Craftcycle. Here's hoping I'm not too nervous, the dog doesn't bark, the boys don't start playing bass or drums, and Celia doesn't break into our room (where I'll be hiding out). Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteTypically, I'm not a craft inspired person, but the consistancy of Boyd's clear, consistant and delightfully original ideas draws me in. She's a must to follow if you're looking for good old fashioned creativity and quality family time. Continued success to Heidi Boyd!
