Craftonians! ✨ Welcome to Episode 83 of Joleen’s Happy Time Craftcast. When Minnesota dropped 12–18 inches of snow and knocked out guest Jamie’s power, we pivoted to a cozy solo studio session at Big Raven Farm. I share updates on brewery craft nights, cyanotype and eco-print retreats, and take you step-by-step through a Robert Hunt–inspired collage technique, plus tips on mixed media, image transfers, and creative layering. The heart of the episode? Grab, create, and don’t overthink it—keep crafting happy!
Guest Update
Jamie (joining us from snowy northern Minnesota!) will absolutely be back once the power — and the 18 inches of snow — settle down. Stay tuned for that rescheduled knitting conversation!
