Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I honesetly don't remember. Probably searching the internet for DIY ideas.
What projects are you currently working on?
As I've already mentioned I am finishing my Treasury Box Jewelry collection. And at the same time I am working on a headband that is due to appear in a magazine soon.

What does your craft space look like?
Well, I use part of the dining room where on a dresser I have the supplies I use most in my work and my working table that is occupied with what I am currently working on. If I am crocheting a new necklace, then there would be yarn and hooks, if it is a mixed project - there would most certainly be beads or fabrics scattered around.
On a wall in my bedroom I have my yarn cupboard.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
That would be my hook and yarns. And recently lots of beads, since I am finishing a mixed media collection.
What do you craft along to?
Music. I always have music turned on.
Maya's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
Since I am a crochet designer, my all-time favourite is of course crochet, However, I love sewing, weaving, working with clay, beading... the list never actually ends.
You would most often find me crocheting flowers since they are my signature pieces. Crochet jewelry is my specialty.
Maya's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I have tried cardboard weaving, but I would love to try weaving on a regular loom. And probably make myself rug :)
Who are your crafting heroes?
I don't have such. There are many talented people/ artists/ designers whose blogs and work I follow and admire.
Maya Kuzman's Favorite Projects
There are so many fantastic prjects on the site, but I'll turn to those I visited recently. The first would be the Vintage Doily Lamp, because I love vintage and have tons of doilies. The lamp is doable and it makes such a great addition to my dresser. The second would be the Sicily Writing Desk. I've been wanting a desk like these for ages now and have the perfect place waiting for it. The third it the Stamp project. I absolutely love finding new things to use to make stamps, so this came easily into the favourites.
And finally...
