My name is Becky Striepe (pronounced “stree-pee,” like “sleepy”), and I am a freelance writer and vegan crafter living in Atlanta, Georgia. My life’s mission is to make green crafting and vegan food accessible to everyone!
5 tools or supplies you can’t be without
1. Vintage buttons
2. Ric Rac
3. Fabric scissors
4. Burlap
5. A rainbow of thread colors
4 favorite sources of creative inspiration
1. Food and cooking – I love making things for the kitchen!
2. Found Objects – Often I let the materials I have handy drive my making.
3. Nature – There is a huge tree (I mean HUGE!) outside the front window in my studio, and when I’m feeling blocked, I like to stare at it. Something about that tree helps get my brain working!
4. TV/Books/Movies – I read and watch a lot of science fiction, and those influences creep into my crafting a lot. When we found out I was pregnant, I started planning space- and robot-themed nursery crafts before we even knew whether we were having a boy or a girl.
