Crafty Boxes

Many Artists enjoy doing CRAFTS. A craft is a creative project that usually follows a set of STEPS. When followed, the results are almost always the same. Creating a work of Art, on the other hand, usually involves more CHOICES and "unknowns".

For this IDEA, we're going to create some "CRAFTY BOXES".

Our first Idea was "borrowed" from a fellow Artist and Teacher in the Netherlands named Kim Welling. The internet is a wonderful place to find inspiration, and Kim's work was shared on the web by ANOTHER Artist/Teacher in Dublin, OH named Jonathan Juravich. Long story short, it seemed like a COOL little project to re-create!?
