Why I Don’t Craft with Leather
Leather crafts are super hip right now, and as a vegan crafter, that bums me out. I’m probably going to take some flack for speaking up about leather, but the poor animals who suffer because of the leather industry can’t speak for themselves.

Handmade Reviews: Rustic Chic Wedding, by Morgann Hill
Want an eco-friendly wedding with plenty of handmade components, but you don’t necessarily want it to *look* like it was cobbled together by a gang of amateur crafters?
Rustic chic is the look that you’re looking for. A rustic chic wedding emphasizes vintage and natural materials, and a simplicity of construction that both makes the projects more do-able, and keeps them from looking overdone. With rustic chic’s additional emphasis on salvaged, one of a kind components over mass-produced commodities, it’s also a look that works well with modest budgets.

It’s a simple seed bomb recipe, no shotgun shells required.
