Marisa Pawelko – The Modern Surrealist

August 20, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd

Marisa Pawelko Modern Surrealist Artist and Diva
Marisa Pawelko – The Modern Surrealist

Marisa Pawelko is by far one of the most inspirational artist I have ever met. I’ve met some great people but her artwork would be something I would collect due to the incredible nature of her work. It’s loud, unusual, collectible, and truly creative peices I have ever witnessed.

I met Marisa at Crafting and Hobby Association. I had never heard of her. I seen a table display she had set up. Her face was put onto soup cans. I thought to myself, that’s the craziest coolest thing I had ever seen. In fact, the picture you see here was the same picture. I thought to myself, Who is this woman?
You can check out her website at The Modern Surrealist.
I found Marisa to be so approachable and friendly. She’s got a great head on her shoulders and she is doing exactly what she is passionate about. SHe’s been working with Wescott in promoting Duck Tape. You can see her in this video, she’s creating The Duck Brand Beads.
Her creativity and artwork is something I would love to collect! Her high heel earrings in this photograph was something she was wearing in person when I met her. I was so captivated by them.
Marisa also has a Facebook Page that is worth taking a look at. She has lots of photographs of her work.

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer – You Tube to PBS Television Designer

August 17, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer Scrapbook Soup TV Host
Julie Fei-Fan Balzer TV Host of Scrapbook Soup

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer is someone I can strongly relate to as she started broadcasting on You Tube and then was signed on as a host on Scrapbook Soup on PBS in the United States.

 
I’ve never heard of Julie but attended a seminar where she was hosting for 20 minutes. OMG, funny as can be, inspiring as ever, and so realistic to today’s computer challenges and trends when it comes to broadcasting howto videos on the net. To me, I completely connected with Julie watching her and laughing along with her realistic humour about the challenges we face as YouTube Broadcasters.
 
She showed a few videos as examples of videos during her presentation. I encourage you to check this one out. YOUTUBE VIDEO You are going to think through most of the video that it’s going to be very child like and not very inspirational. She does a simple technique. I kid you not, a room of 125 people when she was hosting GASPED so loudly! We could hardly believe our own eyes.
 
Finally here’s another video to watch!  You may not be into stenciling or painting like she is doing, but there’s got to be a deep yearning inside of you to have an ounce of her creativity within yourself! I’m jealous as can be.
 
You can see more about Julie in her blog, it’s a really active blog and completely inspirational.
