Introduction Hello, My name is Alissa. I am the founder of Calypso Local Art, A Portland based Artist Co-Operative. We are currently without a location but are looking forward to finding our on-line niche. You can find us at craft fairs, art galleries, farmers markets and all over Etsy while we work on launching our own website/online store. I have been enjoy arts as long as I can remember.I have always loved being a "crafty" person! I enjoy seeing art all around in me in the everyday things; So I have profound admiration for the different ways that everybody creates beauty in the simplest ways. I want to help encourage everybody to be crafty and creative! So I started Calypso to bring together a community of just about anyone with a creative streak. I strive to give these blossoming artists an outlet to share their art with the world, to network and brainstorm with like-minded people and hopefully earn enough pocket cash to support their craft store habit :-) Thank you for welcoming me to your Blogger family! I look forward to getting to know you and being online buddies!
Interests As you can imagine, I love jewelry! But I am also a fanatic about Socks, Books, Retro Decor, Travel and just about anything to do with India.
