Is your city a DIY City?…

Is your city a DIY City?…

If you haven’t heard, there is a new and fun online magazine called DIY City Mag. They spotlight cities that have a strong DIY community, its resources and features cool indie designers and artists from the area.  The latest issue is on New Orleans, a city that has always been artist friendly, of all sorts of art genres; music, fine art, street performance, etc.  A little birdy (me!) wrote a wee article about the New Orleans Craft Mafia in this very issue. Yep, who would have thunk it! :-)

So, sit back and have a good read about NOLA on DIY City Mag. Plan next years Mardi Gras trip around this issue and come back with something other than plastic beads! Unless its a lamp shade made from Mardi Gras beads, then that would ROCK!
The next issue will be all about Washington, DC, with a launch sometime right before the election. If you are an designer/artist in the area, they are looking for you! Contact them at diycitymag@gmail.com.

Richmond Craft Mafia

If you are local to Virginia please check out todays Virginia Currents. The Richmond Craft Mafia will be featured in segment called, … “learn how a group who call themselves the “Craft Mafia” take on mass production with a vengeance”. And possibly there will be footage of me talking about the RCM and the indie/DIY/craft movement in general. I am very excited since it is a show I do love to watch and peek in to all the behind-the-scene stories they feature. But I am also freaked out about it because I tend to be painfully shy and there I’ll be on camera. May the editors be merciful and I sound coherent! ;-)

In Richmond the show will air on WCVE on January 17th at 8:00 pm. If you miss it you can also check it out on Saturday at 5:30 pm or Sunday at 12:30 pm.
