Danielle and Rayme get the first look at a new Craft Geek line from Purple Cows during their CHA visit with Paula Nelson-Hart, Designer and Creative Consultant for Purple Cows, Inc. Self-proclaimed creative diva she dreams of 48 hour days, endless access to eclectic power tools, and the perfect pair of jeans.  Studying at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles launched Paula's passion for clothing design, leading her to continue her education at Brigham Young University. Her right brained antics run the gamut and include:   mixed media, wearable art, costume design for Marie Osmond Doll Collection, and designer and creative consultant for Purple Cows, Inc. Living high in the Rocky Mountains, her exile from retail stores has fueled her resourcefulness, motivating the use of materials beyond their original function (yes, she has been known to rummage through a dumpster now and then).  Her latest triumph:  holiday decorations using recycled shopping bags, soda pop cartons, a dismantled chandelier, and an industrial heat gun.
