24 | THE COLONY NEWS | MARCH 2021 | By Betty Oehler Spotlight on Angela Nunez For some time, The Colony News has featured articles about the work of some of our quilters. Those of us who've attended the Craft Fairs know there are a number of other types of crafters living among us. With this issue, we will begin featuring some of these residents, beginning with Angela Nunez. Angela's skills include sewing and quilting, but her crafts we've chosen to highlight are scrapbooking and greeting cards. Angela ventured into scrapbooking in 2007 with the wedding of her daughter. Initially she had a Sizzix machine, which cuts both paper and fabric, but to increase her options, she purchased a Cricut. Soon she was making other scrapbooks, including small ones from scratch using heavy cardboard, while others she bought and personalized, transforming them into works of art. With her greeting cards, she added moving parts to some of them. She uses a variety of skills for her crafts, but one of her favorite things to do is coloring, for which she uses a combination of alcohol markers, pencils, ink and acrylic paints. Due to drying time, some cards and small scrapbooks may take one to two days to complete. She has sold some of her work. Angela calls herself, "a horribly messy crafter," but the pleasure of working the crafts easily outweighs the cleanups. Before COVID and for several years, Angela had been leading the twice-monthly Craft Day for All (see the Activity Calendars, p. 30). She hopes to resume these sessions when possible.
