Betsy Herczeg-Konecny
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009I discovered Betsy Konecy’s work at the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Folk Art earlier this week. I love her amazing animal collages made from vintage fabrics! Check out her Etsy Shop, she promises to have more artwork coming soon! I think I might have to go back and pick up one of the pandas.

Saturday, January 24th, 2009Dianne Shulenberger creates these amazing detailed art pieces by collaging little scraps of fabric together and beautifully sewing multiple colors of threads on top. They are even more beautiful in person so if you ever get the chance to see one in person make sure to do so. She shows a lot of her work in Burlington, VT.
Eco-Mochilas and Cotton-top Tamarins
Friday, October 17th, 2008
I first learned about Proyecto Titi’s Eco-Mochillas project when I heard Rosamira Guillen at the 2007 Wildlife Conservation Expo. Mochillas are traditional bags made in Columbia. Proyecto Titi redesigned the bags to be made with plastic bags. This means no more plastic bags in the forests or on the side of the roads. The people who share their villages with the Cotton Top Tamarin can now make a living producing Eco-Mochillas (pictured below). Plastic bags have become a form of currency in these villages. The women in these villages are now able to support there families by making Eco-Mochillas. The women go door to door to collect bags and spread knowledge of why it is so important to protect the Cotton-top Tamarin. Villagers now learn to appreciate and cherish their special neighbors.
