Who Designs Those Projects?
March 3, 2009 Craft Professionals, Crafts, Trends 2 Comments
It’s National Craft Month so we should be celebrating all the wonderful designers who bring us great projects that motivate and challenge us to create and be creative every day! I’m launching a new monthly feature called Designer Spotlight! I’ll feature a designer or two each month and let you in on some fun facts about each.
Designer SpotLight March!
Meet Vivian Peritts
Vivian is one of the most innovative designers I’ve ever met. She can create with just about any type of media and make projects to die for! Carol Duvall did an interview with Vivian that is an excellent read. Just put Vivian’s name in any search engine and you’ll find all the books she has authored. Vivian is photographed with her designer display at CHA’s Winter 2009 Trade Show.
Meet Sandy Laipply
Sandy is another general craft designer who brings a lot of love and joy to art and craft projects. Her title is The Queen of Arts and her website is fun to page through! I especially enjoyed reading her resume. It was professional and an excellent guide for other designers who need to update their resumes!
Meet Betsy Edwards
My favorite memory of Betsy is her dancing at many of the social events we attended. Trust me, she can dance! And she can get everyone else up on the dance floor too! Betsy is a very accomplished painter and was demonstrating for Royal & Langnickel at the recent CHA Winter 2009 show. Her high energy and enthusiasm quickly spread, she’s a joy to have as a creative friend.
Meet Linda Peterson
Linda has got to be one of the hardest working designers in the world! She’s photographed demonstrating her metal work skills for AMACO. She has authored books and her projects are in craft magazines year round. Check out her projects on TV! Linda’s Blog.
Do you know any art or craft designers? Is your sister or cousin a published star? Let us know and we’ll do a spotlight on them!
