Stumped on a project, application or product? Send me a note with your crafty crisis. I'll do my best to come to the rescue! AND - if you are a clever crafter and can offer a suggestion, please post a comment :-) Friday, June 04, 2004Mexican Ephemera
I'm searching high and low for some really cool Mexican ephemera for my altered books/Artist Trading Cards. I'm not finding what I want exactly, I want more than the stuff I find in travel magazines. HELP!
Beatrice, Texas Hi Beatrice! I know exactly what you are talking about - paper doo-dads and such. Living in Texas, you are right in the heart of a lot of it. I know here in Phx, we have Mexican grocery stores that have a lot of fun items that work great in altered books. I would see if there are any in your town, also Mexican party stores. You can also look on my links page in the bottom right hand side for collage-y type sites. Good luck! CC

0 Comments:About Me
In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
