Trash to Treasure Creative Re-Use Center field trip

The Hollywood Craft Mafia is sponsoring a field trip to check out a really cool spot. Trash to Treasure is a re-use center that collects items from the community and business in order to be re-used. We've never been before, but are very excited about this field trip. They charge a yearly membership but are allowing the Hollywood Craft Mafia and our friends to come for a private tour from 10 to Noon this Sunday.
If you are interested in joining us, please RSVP at this site http://www.meetup.com/HCMMeetupGroup/ it costs $5.00 (cash only) and $0.25 per pound of materials that you take.

Craft Supply Swap

We've got another Craft Supply swap coming up! This time it is at the Undergrounds Coffeehaus. Just show up with any crafting supplies that you no longer need or want and take home some cool new stuff! You don't need to be a professional or connected with any organization, just someone with some extra crafting supplies to trade. Everyone is welcome.

Please Welcome Alexis Colbert!!

Last month we added a new member to the Hollywood Craft Mafia. Alexis is a very talented artisan who makes and sells a variety of great crafts. She makes tattoo inspired jewelry out of hand drawn shrinky-dink plastic, hand paints purses and creates these fantastic lighted shadow boxes with all sorts of artistic features. She is super talented and I'm sure she will keep us in awe with her contribution to this group.
We'll have her put up her own introduction post soon, but right now she is in the last minute prep-zone working on getting ready for a show in Austin, TX this Saturday.
I've included some pics of Alexis's work and of course, a link to her Etsy Store.
And, if you happen to be in the Austin area this weekend, peep in and meet her in person at the Lone Star Ladies Shop Austin
