A series of interviews I did for WomensWeb. It features thoughts and works of women around the world who are crafting their business by hand. The first interview was with the lovely Karen Barbe, a textile designer from Chile, who weaves, embroiders and screen prints home accessories. http://www.womensweb.in/articles/karen-barbe-textile-design/. The second was with Yokoo, who knits and sews and has a beautiful way of living. http://www.womensweb.in/articles/handmade-design-yokoo-gibraan/ The third was with Natalie Stopka who loves marrying textile techniques in book binding - http://www.womensweb.in/articles/handmade-womennatalie-stopka/
