New Orleans Craft Mafia - ProfilesArchive

About Me

The New Orleans Craft Mafia formed in June 2005 and consists of several independent artists in a variety of media: jewelry, clothing, accessories, home decor, journals, and more.
The New Orleans Craft Mafia models itself after the original Craft Mafia in Austin, Texas, where a small group of talented ladies joined together to support each other in their crafty business endeavors. Interest grew across the U.S. and Craft Mafias have been popping up all over the country.
Basically, we're a group of cool people who make really cool stuff.
Meet the team:
Rachelle - greenKangaroo
Mallory - MissMalaprop & dismantled designs
Heather & Mark - Unique Products
mags - art by mags!
Kelly - Claverie Crafts
Jeannie - Jeremy the Alien
