Introducing a very talented guest Artist, Saffron Johns.
Perusing through Etsy can be a very daunting challenge when you are looking for truly skilled artists and artisans. But there really are people there who create because it satisfies their soul not just to make money, and they are harder to find. Saffron Johns from Other Worlds is one of these artists. Her unique, unbridled imagination and skilled way of bringing it to fruition puts her in a category all by herself. Crocheting and knitting with wire, beads, jewelry components and even small lights, she has developed her work in a way that allows everyone to see inside her bright imagination.
I love when an artist finds the perfect medium with which to express themselves. And I love when that medium is not traditional because I know they are taking a chance of being obscure in a sea of more traditional work. I think that when you love what you do and and spill your heart and imagination into your work, people can sense that. I felt Saffron’s work was so special that it deserved recognition as an exceptional artist here in Snappy Tatter-land. I wanted her as a guest not only to satisfy my own curiosity about her work and life, but also to give her work the exposure it deserves.
A gallery of her designs as well as social connections are found after her interview.
