Crafting just got hipper

Walking around Art in the Park in Boise a little more than a month ago, I noticed much of the items for sale were very similiar to those sold at the annual shows back in Washington. But in some places, even crafting is developing hipster appeal.

Faythe Levine is working on the post-production of "Handmade Nation," a documatary film chronicling -- as her blog puts it "the rise of D.I.Y. and the new wave of art, craft and design."


Levine has interviewed more than 50 indie-crafters, visiting more than 15 cities to take a deeper look at D.I.Y. (do it yourself) art culture.
