Well, its happened for me and a woman named <a href="http://www.shawnadoering.com/" target="_blank">Shawna Doering</a>.<br />
<br />
She is an incredibly talented textile artist living in Denver Colorado- and she works at <a href="http://www.fancytigercrafts.com/" target="_blank">Fancy Tiger!</a><br />
<br />
I just got off of an hour long skype date with her, and she is the inspiration for today. We got to speak about how geography affects your natural dye work, how making by hand is going to save the world, traveling to far off places to learn and be inspired, and also just life stuff- how to be an artist and pay your bills.<br />
