Today I talk with Cate Coulacos Prato, author of Mixed-Media Self-Portraits: Inspiration & Techniques. I’m ready to dive in and create some self portraits after talking with Cate. (maybe I’ll even share some online…lol)
“This book is about showcasing different media and encouraging crafters to reveal at least one part of their personalities through art.” —Booklist
January is my favorite month to dedicate a chunk of time to self discovery. Check out this book for a jump start on the process!
Also this week, I talk about the Calder Jewelry Exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC, plus the latest CRAFTCAST news and upcoming classes.

I’m inspired! I am a new mom–spending every minute with my precious baby girl. I’m just now learning how to “wear all my hats.” (Breastfeeding + crochet really can work!) Thanks for helping me find my crafty hat again. I love your podcast and look forward to the next one!
