Q: Did you originally set out to sell boxes, or did your business evolve as the boxes sold well? A: I never meant to make boxes to sell. The boxes were actually a rejected idea for centerpieces for my daughter’s wedding. I got the idea to create nesting boxes one day when I was trying to see how small I could make a box. My largest box is a traditionally sized 4×4×2", and the smallest is 5/8 × 5/8 × 3/8"—“chicklet-sized.” Q: What are the best methods to make efficient use of paper? A: Never throw away scraps. I can make the smallest two-piece box out of two pieces of paper, each 1¾" square. I sort my scraps and cut them to uniform sizes from 1½" to about 7", which…

Q: How did you get started as an artist? A: I was hired as a commercial artist with an advertising agency at the young age of seventeen, which launched me into a long and exciting career as a graphic designer. After I became a mother, I used my design skills to transfer my creativity into crafting. Q: What was the inspiration behind your Inspired Barn Creative Workshop videos? A: I enjoy traveling to creative events to speak and teach, but I realized that the large building on our property was the perfect venue for teaching locally. Unfortunately, teaching primarily in Northern California limits my workshop availability. My new video series, all filmed at the Inspired Barn, will be available for anyone to access! Q: We love that you use so…

Pass Through vs Pass Back Through Pass through means to move your needle (or beading wire) in the same direction that the beads have been strung. Pass back through means to move your needle (or beading wire) in the opposite direction. Crimping CRIMP TUBES are seamless metal tubes used to secure the end of a beading wire. To use, string a crimp tube and the connection finding (i.e., the loop of the clasp). Pass back through the tube, leaving a short tail. Place the crimp tube in the front notch of the crimping pliers and squeeze to shape the tube into an oval. Use the back notch of the crimping pliers to press the length of the tube down between the wires, enclosing them in separate chambers of the crescent…

Candie Cooper’s energy and creativity are infectious, and it was a delight having her in the Interweave studios to film four new videos—stamped and embellished leather cuffs and beaded crochet necklaces for the grownups; friendship/stretch/macramé bracelets and hammered washer necklaces for the kiddos! Read on to find out more about the talented Ms. Cooper. Q & A Q: Explain the inspiration behind your latest video series. A: My background is in art education, and I feel strongly about teaching kids how to make things and to have a hobby. So the birthday party and rainy day ideas came from the desire to show kids how to make things at home for themselves and for gifts. The bead crochet and leather cuff videos are just fun projects that I’ve made as…
