Craftster Mission Craftster.org was started in August 2003 as a repository for hip, off-beat, crafty diy (do it yourself) projects. People who have crafty urges, but who are not excited by cross stitched bunnies and crocheted toilet paper cozies, can show off their current craft projects, ask advice on future projects and get inspiration for new endeavors. Whenever possible, members are encouraged to post pictures of the steps involved in making a project as well as the final results. Craftster.org attempts to be carefully organized to allow members to easily find the projects they are looking for. Special emphasis is placed on projects that involve recycling, reusing and repurposing existing objects. The thinking is that whenever an object can be reused rather than buried in a landfill, it's a worthy venture -- not to mention an interesting challenge! Who's responsible for this mayhem? Craftster was started in August 2003 by Leah Kramer – a computer programmer and self-proclaimed craft junkie. Leah has been crafting ever since she could hold a pair of safety scissors. Somewhere along the lines she thinks she inhaled too much glue because now she is attracted to crafts that are irreverent, ironic, kitschy, or cleverly eco-friendly. She resides in Boston where she is an owner of the "coolest store ever," Magpie, and is an organizer of the not-your-grandma's craft fair Bazaar Bizarre. You can contact us here.
