On Friday night, I hit up the Young Blood Gallery here in Atlanta to check out the Re-Construct DVD release party! We munched on snacks served on compostable dishware and watched the trailer for Garth Johnson’s and Jeanée Ledoux’s new film about eco-friendly crafting! Garth is the man behind Extreme Craft and the upcoming book 1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse. Jeanée is a maker and writer of Abode à la Mode: 44 Projects for Hip Home Decor.
