Nice review

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to meet Elaine Ibarrola of Bastos Girls Greetings at a Chicago Craft Mafia event. She asked some great questions and told me about her line of witty greeting cards (several of which have a Filipina flare) and I chalked the experience up to affirming that Chicago is home to some great makers of some delightfully wonderful items.

A little while later, she was kind enough to post a short commentary on her blog where she found a picture I forgot had been taken of me and wrote some sweet things about my work.

And since I truly think that it’s easiest to make your mark in the current craft world if you have a niche, it’s great that Elaine is a voice for the funny Filipina communities that exist all over this country, and in many others.
