CraftGossip's Fork and Talk Review Night

It is back!

Last October, we hosted a CraftGossip Fork and Talk Night (actually afternoon) in Little Rock, Arkansas. And boy, did the 24 of us have fun!

Check out the photos on the Flickr account. Or read our official report here. Or read some enthusiastic reports from the people who attended, here, here, here and here.

The event was sponsored by EK Success and was held at Trio’s in Little Rock.

CG Happy Bloggers

Because the event was such a big success, we are bringing it back to the Trio’s restaurant at Little Rock on the 21st of April, 2012.

There will be free lunch and drinks, lots of crafting, and lots of items crammed into the EK Success sponsored goodie bags to take home. You will also meet all our four editors who attended last time. (Denise from Needlework, Stacie from Jewelry Making, Scarlett from Quilting and Anne from Sewing).

All we ask is that you have a blog, and that you write about the event afterwards (within 7 days).

You must be able to come to the event yourself. Bloggers from nearby cities are more than welcome as long as they can drive themselves to the event on the 21st of April (Memphis? Jackson? Fort Smith? Shreveport? Even Dallas? Remember, it is a fun filled day and there is free food and drinks!).

So, if you are ready to attend a fun filled afternoon crafting, meeting other fellow bloggers and crafters, while being wined and dined, then apply below. We will contact the successful bloggers by the 1st of April for confirmation.

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
