This month we are introducing an amazing team of talented designers, our Design Dream Team who will be designing and posting every Thursday on the Kunin blog. You have already had a sneak peek this last couple of weeks with the featured posts from Laura Kelly (www.laurakellydesigns.com) and Laura Bray (www.laurabraydesigns.com). Joining Laura and Laura are Jennifer Priest (www.hydrangeahippo.com) and Beth Watson (www.bwdesignstudio.blogspot.com).

Laura Bray is a designer, writer and lifestyle expert.  She inspires creative women to live a life of balance and simplicity by sharing her modern twist on traditional home arts. Whether you stitch, cook, are raising children or just want to be a better housekeeper, you are sure to find great tips and tutorials on blog. www.laurabraydesigns.com

Jennifer Priest: It started with jewelry, beading, sewing, home decor, painting, basket weaving, pottery, and cross-stitch. Marry that to an entrepreneurial spirit and at 9 years old a girl is selling her wares at craft fairs as far as her parents and grandparents would drive her. These days, Jennifer enjoys crafts of all genres from sewing to scrapbooking to jewelry with a little dabbling in the mixed media world. Her style is approachable and she wants everyone who sees her work to feel that they too can embrace creativity and make their home and life beautiful. www.hydrangeahippo.com

Laura is a licensed doodle artist, creating thematic collections for products in an array of industries.  When she is not busy doodling away with her favorite markers, Sharpie Fine Tips, you will find her creating crafty projects in her studio, her kitchen and her garden. Laura is an inaugural member of the Sharpie Squad and an active member of the Craft and Hobby Association where she designs for several companies and participates regularly in their events and trade shows. www.laurakellydesigns.com.

Beth Watson Designing and crafting since childhood, my creativity blossomed at age 12 with the gift of my first painting set. In high school and college I started a specialty painted clothing business that thrived. While making a living in the Marketing industry, I dove into the professional design world again via craft shows and consignment galleries. I enjoy designing original projects with paint, wire, canvas, wood, beads, paper and bringing a unique twist to my designs by incorporating traditional materials in unconventional ways. I have extensive experience in advertising design, marketing and copy writing. I have taught a variety of painting and general craft classes to adults and children. I also enjoy the challenge of new product development and original project design concepts. www.bwgdesignstudio.blogspot.com.

So look for exciting things ahead here on the blog and for Kunin, check out our Dream Team and their amazing projects, designs and tutorials! We are going to have some fun and invite you along! Keep creating! Debra
