OK.. there is a point to this – besides the fact that we are prone to loving NOVELTY acts… and liking a strange mixture of poignancy and dance-around-the-room-ness.
You need to go look at this… The brains and bodaciousness behind Nikkishell and 62Cherry are also the super-bitchen editors of a new Craft-n-more Zine. (And guess who designed the cover?.. he he.. starts with an A and ends with an E….)
Mixtapezine – a collision of craft, eco-cool and pop culture kitsch. You can now pre-order the debut issue, please let your friends and family know! And do it. Pre-order it! Support the crafters who inspire you.
