Handmade Confessional: Kyla Simeno

We met Kyla Simeno at Felt Club in LA. She and her mom Michelle Vess aka soulmom love to make crafts. Kyla makes beaded jewelry because its fun! And because she appreciates the thought and effort put into handmade items.

Since the Handmade Consortium launched the Buy Handmade Pledge (http://buyhandmade.org) last year, over 30,000 people have signed. Some say "hand-made is the new black" — but it's not a trend. This is about real people making changes in their everyday lives and figuring out how to make those changes lasting and sustainable. It's about being able to quit your day job and shop local. It about personal history and the inspiration behind making something of your own vision.
