That's Paper Quilling with Sophy

Thu, 06/02/2022 - 11:00am | Lois Richter

The company Sophy Lakshmanan created for making and teaching Paper Quilling is "Miss Paper Craft", and Sophy had a booth at the Whole Earth Festival -- which is where Lois met her --  selling quilled earrings like the ones she is wearing now.

What is Paper Quilling?  It is the technique of rolling thin strips of paper to form different shapes and designs.  

On her website Sophy says: "I stumbled upon Paper Quilling in 2012 and ever since it has been my goto craft for making handmade gifts for friends and family. When I moved to the US, I noticed that Paper Quilling was not as common as it was back in India. From there one thing led to another and "Miss Paper Craft" was born."  Her company was born in 2021.

When Lois was  her booth at WEF, Sophy had a demo table and gave visitors the materials and instruction to quill a small item.  It was FUN!  

The Folk Brothers for June 1, 2022: Folks Against Gun Violence

Wed, 06/01/2022 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

Prior to the 2018 midterm elections, Marc Erelli penned a song about America's problem with guns. With help from Lori McKenna, Roseanne Cash, Sheryl Crow, Josh Ritter and Anais Mitchell, Erelli released "By Degrees," with all proceeds benefitting Gabby Giffords' gun violence prevention organization. This morning, we dedicated two sets of music to this issue, with tracks also from Josh O'Keefe, Cheryl Wheeler, Steve Earle and Warren Zevon.
