We head to Albuquerque in New Mexico to meet Kelsey who loves painting on her walls and cooking!
Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I found CO+K through my sister, she had joined the site years before me. I finally joined because I started to see some really cool crafts and I liked that it allowed me to find and keep all these things in one place.
What projects are you currently working on?
Right now, I'm cooking more and working on some pieces of crayon art, as well as a blackboard wall in my garage.

What does your craft space look like?
My craft space is my living room floor. I just pull everything out and sit there. But because I have a curious dog I have to clean it up anytime I'm going to leave for longer than five minutes, so unless I'm working on a project it looks like any other living room. (The photos rather dark, I kinda live in a cave almost haha. It's also changed since that picture, with the addition of my trees [one of my projects] and just general living)
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
I use paintbrushes the most by far. For paint, glue, basically anything that has to be spread.
What do you craft along to?
I watch movies or something from my DVR while crafting. Lately, I've been watching Dr Who, which is of course many seasons long. So that's probably what I'm watching while crafting most recently.

Kelsey's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I'd really like to take on making soaps. I watched my mom do when I was a kid, and unfortunately, was just not interested at the time. But now I'm trying to make everything I eat and use as homemade as possible. Plus then I get scents that are things uniquely liked by me.
Who are your crafting heroes?
I don't really have crafting heroes. My mom taught me growing up that I could make anything and gave me a good basis for how to get what I might need. But I've always been intensely creative. It's also become more popular recently to be crafty, so it's so easy to find supplies and ideas for what I might like.
Kelsey G.'s Favorite Projects
Labyrinth Cushion Cover - I have a massive crush on David Bowie in this movie and this is so well done and simplistic. I can't wait to take the time and do it, hopefully, it will turn out just as well. Galaxy Leggings - I've always liked galaxy prints and my job involves a lot of leggings. I have never been particularly good at gradients though so I haven't worked up the courage to try it yet. Plastic Spoon Rose - So unique! I love when objects are made out of everyday things. I have one of these made into a hair clip that my sister made for me, and every time that I wear it, it gathers so much interest.
