Collab-A-Craft

Franklin and Émilie are students by day, power crafters by night. Creators. Readers. Laughers. Inventors. Thinkers. Theorists. Knitters. Welders. Jewelers. Metalsmiths. Crafters. Makers. Talkers. Hopeless Planners and Optimistically Over-involved. We created this collective because we couldn’t not. We want to meet and make with everyone. By our powers combined, we are Collab-A-Craft.

HEY ALL YOU PATCHMAKERS!

So, we have to issue a sincere apology for just how long it has taken us to get the last part of the patch project together. Long story short we are sending out patches THIS WEEK! If you're address has changed, send us an e-mail ([email protected]) and we will make sure to send your patch to the right address! We have some great submissions and are looking forward to connecting you with your new patch(es) and pen pal(s) soon! Thanks again, and we really appreciate your patience with us.

GET THOSE PATCHES IN! 

[collab-a-craft-blog]

This patch came in the mail yesterday! Thanks to E.G. from Maryville, TN!!! We love this beaded dancing bird skeleton/ bird "crap" patch! 

Just a reminder that today was the deadline! We are (officially) done with the patch exchange project. So, if you're sitting on patches or want a chance to get in on the project, SEND THAT PATCH! 

We also want to say a big thanks to those who participated! We were so excited by the involvement and level of enthusiasm. We are so impressed that we're going to make a zine to document all the patches.  If you would like a copy, e-mail us and sign up for our mailing list! ([email protected]) If you sent a patch, you will get a copy along with your new patch soon! Stay tuned for photos of the exhibit and NEW PROJECTS!!

WE'RE SO CLOSE, GET YER PATCHES IN!

Okay y'all, it's the final stretch! The deadline for the Patch Exchange is February 1st, so set aside some time tonight to finish up those patches you've been sitting on and have them postmarked by tomorrow!

As an additional incentive, we've started work on a collab-a-craft zine (!!!!) and everyone lovely enough to submit patches will get a free copy in the mail when we're finished! 

Also, stay tuned for the unveiling of our next project in the next couple of weeks!

Love,
