Grace at design*sponge is adding a DIY Wednesday segment to her blog - she says when i sat down to reimagine the new d*s one of the first things i wanted to add was more diy and craft-based content. Grace has invited lauren smith and derek fagerstrom of the curiosity shoppe to do a weekly segment and the first project looks pretty good - re-using wine crates as display cases.
Chara is hosting a fall swap on her blog - go and get involved.
Heather wrote in to tell me about blog action day - so sign up for eco activism on 15th of Oct - and look out for here for environmentally crafting on that day.
Blog Action Day is October 15 with a topic of ‘the environment’. The group is requesting that any willing bloggers sign up to show a united voice all discussing the same topic on the same day. With activism being one of Whip-Up’s regular topics, in terms of reusing media and recreating with it; finding inspiration for our art in our environments; handcrafters and artists creating to create local items, etc. I thought this would be an excellent concept to bring forward. Thank you for your lovely blog, a creative environment unto itself!
