033: Renelle White Buffalo: White Buffalo Art
Head over to iTunes and subscribe to Me Being Crafty so you don’t miss an episode! You can also subscribe on stitcher.
Welcome to episode 033 of the Me Being Crafty podcast, where we explore creativity in your life.
In this episode I talk with Renelle White Buffalo, a fine artist currently living in New York City, and owner of White Buffalo Art.
Renelle and I are from the same place, though I am older than her and we grew up in different towns. I am always happy to find a new (to me) Native artist online and I am so glad that Renelle is a guest on the show after connecting on social media. Thanks again Renelle!
After graduating college, Renelle packed her bags and moved to Los Angeles where she had the opportunity to participate in Latagraphica which was a Red Bull sponsored event. During the event, Renelle painted a mural over five days and if you are ever in Los Angeles, head to North Vendome Street and Sunset Blvd to see her work. She recently moved to New York City and I am excited to see what she comes up with next. Be sure to stop by her website, White Buffalo Art, to see the paintings and prints that she has available so you can add something to your collection! She also has links to the collaborations she has done so you can see other various products.
The latest is a tote bag made from her drop cloths, this is a collaboration with her cousin and the Chop Siouxy store in LA. Twenty five percent of the proceeds from the sales of the White Buffalo tote bag are being donated to the White Buffalo Calf Woman Society women’s shelter in Rosebud, South Dakota.

Leave me a comment and let me know how you were creative today. Me, I’m working on a baby quilt top that will be shown during a blog hop later this month.
Dublin Race – French Color Palettes
The day after we arrived in Dublin last year, there was a huge 5K race. The name of it escapes me, but people passed by our hotel for quite a while as we were close to the starting point. The shirts make for a nice palette.
And for the quilters, crafters, sewist’s, and makers out there – matching Kona colors!
For your own palettes, you definitely need to use the Palette Builder at PlayCrafts.

Three things to think about when you are interested in learning a new skill. It isn’t always just practice, practice!
And two how-to’s:
How to review a craft book – This is a good write up that will guide you if you are interested in reviewing craft books. Reviewing a craft book is different than reviewing a fiction book, you should be able to talk about the projects and mention anything you worked on while reading the book. People are always looking for new (even new to them) books so give it a try!
How to write a sewing tutorial – Along the same lines, you need good photos and well written instructions.
Flash Sale – Craftsy
I’ve spent the week sick and taking care of sick kids. The days blended into each other, I didn’t publish my podcast, and we had doctors come to the house twice. We are finally, finally, on the mend. I’m not sure if all of us have ever been sick at the same time, so this week has been a test for sure.
The podcast will be back next week, and for now – enjoy a flash sale at Craftsy! Up to 70% off quilting kits and supplies. I may need a couple to get some new inspiration.
