Hey lovely, tell us a little about your life and who you are I’m Celeste! I am an artist based out of Dallas, Texas - and when I say artist, I’m not just talking painter. Photography, fashion, interior design, outdoors & nature, any medium.. You name it, I’m curious about it and pursue whatever my mind makes up in that area! I’m married to my best friend, Andrew, who is my biggest cheerleader and butt-kicker when it comes to my craft. And We have our first little boy joining

Alright, we need some background! Tell us who you are and where you are from! My name is Julia Contacessi and I’m an artist working and living in Connecticut. It’s where I was born and grew up. I moved a short distance away when I went to college in Brooklyn, but came back after I graduated. When did you decide art was for you? How did it all begin? I’ve always been creating as long as I can remember, but I also can tell you about different points in my journey when I’ve chan

How amazing do all of these pieces of art look together? This is one of the reasons why I put together these giant giveaways every couple of months. I love to find artists work that are so amazing on their own, then see how I can bring it all together to amplify how amazing each piece is!

Some call her Nata, some call her the Beyonce of the fiber art world (or maybe just me?), whatever you call her, she is queen. The first time I met Nata I admit that I was a little star struck! I had admired her work via Instagram for quite some time. But, she quickly made me feel comfortable with her warmth and kind words. With the goal of creating a supportive artist community by way of sharing the stories of artists I admire, I instantly thought of Nata and how she needed

So I decided to write up a quick blog post about this GIANT giveaway I designed over the Summer. Why? Because each item in this giveaway excellently highlights the vendor providing it. There are few things I enjoy more than working with my fellow vendors and artists! I love using my blog as a channel to highlight other entrepreneurs because let me tell you: THE HUSTLE IS REAL. Everyone in this giveaway should be recognized, I promise you will love them. Since I gathered toget

Over the course of the two years that I have had my own handmade business, I have discovered that it can be one hell of an emotional roller coaster! One hour I could be feeling on cloud 9 because I sold a piece and the next I could be down on myself because I lost 100 followers. Luckily, I have discovered a wonderful way of enduring the highs and lows of running my own business: actively being a part of a handmade community. That is a huge part of why I put these giant giveaw

Well, here goes nothing. My very first blog post! The rest of my posts won’t be this long, promise. There are going to be three points that I cover: why I decided to start a blog, a bit about who I am, and how this whole small macramé business came about. About me: My name is Shelby and I grew up in a small town in the Sierra Nevadas of Northern California. Being raised in a forest in the middle of nowhere, a love and appreciation for nature became a large part of who I am. O
