Crafting is officially big again! Not only are people buying crafts to decorate and wear, they are making these crafts themselves. Crafting parties, books and classes are springing up all over the place. The latest of these is Handmade Nation, Faythe Levine’s book of craft culture that looks at the artists in the movement and examimes how they make a living doing what they love.

Crafters are hitting the web too with hip projects. Craftster.org is a website that was created to offer cool craft ideas for hip, off-beat, crafty DIY types.

Faythe Levine traveled 19,000 miles to document contemporary craft culture and interview 24 of the countless artists that make up the movement. Complete with in-depth profiles, essays and full-color images, Levine explores the nation by region, coming to reveal some of the most interesting ideas and methodologies behind the creative network's new economy.

The documentary film Handmade Nation is SO GOOD. I just saw it again last night at a screening we did here in New Orleans with members of the New Orleans Craft Mafia to celebrate the DVD release of the film. If you identify with the DIY/craft lifestyle, you will absolutely love seeing your community represented in this movie! DVDs are available through BuyOlympia.com!
