Patti’s Staff Pick

Staff Pick - August 1, 2023 - Patti + Inspirations Magazine Issue #119

Staff Pick - *Meet the Staff Edition*

Get ready to be inspired! This week, we're giving you an exclusive sneak peek into Patti's exciting plans for her next project, and show off new skills Patti hopes to learn from it. From the latest issue of Inspirations Magazine - Issue 119, she'll be diving into the world of Summerberry by Taetia McEwen!

A summer garland in soft, shimmering shades of silk, beads, sequins, and metallic mesh ribbon awaits her creative touch. Patti, our resident green thumb, couldn't be more thrilled about this floral detailed masterpiece. Her eyes light up with enthusiasm as she considers working with new mediums and top-notch brands like Kacoonda, mesh ribbon, and braided metallic Painters Thread.

The detailed work of this project is stunning and you can see why Patti is excited about it! Check it out in person and pick up the latest issue of Inspirations and get inspired!
