giraffe art + utility

Tell us about yourself.
My name is Brooke and I live in Minneapolis, where my favorite thing in the world, the cherry spoon bridge, also resides. I teach kindergarten as my full time job and I have a coaster business called Giraffe Art + Utility on the side, both of which keep me very busy!

What will you be selling at the Craftstravaganza?
I will be selling sets of tumbled marble transferred image coasters, mix and match coasters, and magnets.

Do you sell your stuff anywhere else?
I sell things at a cute little store called Machel in Long Lake, MN and also at Corazon, another wonderful gift shop, in the warehouse district in Minneapolis. Hopefully (fingers crossed), I will have a website up and running in time for the sale. Keep checking back at www.longneckmammal.com.

Where do you find inspiration?
The coasters are a little bit of everything- retro patterns, bright colors, hobbies, random images, but most importantly I want them to be conversation pieces.

What's your favorite animal?
GIRAFFE!
