A (Somewhat) Serious Look at 2012 Craft Trends

I’m not sure why I decided to go public with my mullet story or how exactly this painful childhood memory landed itself in the middle of my latest art & craft column, but it’s all right here for your reading entertainment. And just so you know, I do actually include some informative craft trend info including:

* Pantone’s Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango

* The Square – an awesome device and app that makes accepting credit cards an affordable breeze for handmade business owners with Android smartphones, iPhones or iPads

* and other tidbits about mending, recycling and repurposing, buying local and the quiet rise of macrame

So check out the column and let me know what you think is going to take the craft world by storm this year.

And here is my TV segment about these trends.
