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 :-) Wednesday, August 18, 2004Crafty entertainment
Dear Crafty Chica, I am 15 years old and have the Crafty Diva book. It is my favroite of all time. I would like to ask what you listen to when you are making your arts and crafts. My mom says you probably listen to rock and roll because all your projects are so bright and shiny. I would like to know the names of the bands so I can craft to them too.
Honey, Baltimore Hi Honey! I like that name! Actually I listen to all kinds of music when I'm in my art studio. If I'm mass producing a lot of the same items to fill an order, I usually put a movie on to keep me entertained. When I'm designing new ideas I leave the TV off and listen to digital radio. Reggae is my favorite. If I'm working on collage pieces that have personal themes I like to hear stuff like Fiona Apple and Rachel Yamagata. I like an artist named Manu Chao, and a band called Morgan Heritage. When my husband is working in the studio with me we listen to lowrider oldies. I wish I could say there is one kind of band or music, but really it all depends on my mood. Oh! I listen to a lot of Latin acid jazz and Salsa too, it really gets me going, especially with sprinkling the glitter! Good luck! Let me know what you listen to and I'll post it here! - CC ********** http://www.CraftyChica.com

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!
