Meet the Members of Miami Craft Mafia!
	Mona Harris : Mamadelic Founder website : www.Mamadelic.com contact: mona@mamadelic.com Don't be lulled by a false sense of security about Mona's petite size because she sure packs a mean punch with her crafts! As the proud rocker mama of two, she manages to successfully juggle not only motherhood, but her belly cast art along with being in joint cohorts in Mamadelic with Heather. On top of all of that, she is also a part time vegan chef and makes fantastically kitschy, oversized tote bags with vintage fabric. We long to know her secret on how she manages to do it all! Oh, and not to forget - she's starting a band! Interview with Mona coming soon!
	Heather Raveling: Mamadelic & Ragamufyn Founder website : www.Mamadelic.com & www.Ragamufyn.com contact: ragamufyn@yahoo.com Heather cuts a striking figure in her psychedelic clothing and is often hard to miss in a crowd, (trust us - you wouldn't want to miss her!). Not afraid of colour, she freely jumps in, mixes and matches her creations to her heart's delight and the end product is always something to be envious about. She lovingly crafts away for her unique kids clothing business Ragamufyn, and is in joint cohorts with Mona in Mamadelic. As the proud mama of one - she has successfully learnt how to talk on the phone, construct a toy train, sew and nurse her 3 year old all at the same time! A mean feat, that is for sure! (psst...she is starting a band with Mona!) Interview with Heather coming soon!
	Rebecca Duerr: Dragonfly Crafts Treasurer website: DragonflyCrafts.etsy.com contact: DragonflyCrafts@excite.com Browsing through Rebecca's crafts, you'll soon become envious of her bookmaking skills! In addition to her bookmaking skills - Rebecca also has awesome book keeping skills and handles the accounts for her husband's business. Can you guess why Rebecca is the Miami Craft Mafia treasurer? Before she became a proud work at home mom, Rebecca was a grade school art teacher, which no doubt explains her awesome craftiness. When she is not book keeping, Rebecca works on her business: Dragonfly Crafts and creates many beautiful items ranging from books, jewellery, herbal soaps and herbal spa teabags. No wonder all the Miami Craft Mafia girls smell so good! Interview with Rebecca coming soon!
	Stephanie Lynne Leonhardt: 75rabbit website : www.75rabbit.com contact: meisje75rabbit@yahoo.com With a cute rabbit as her logo, you just know that Stephanie's clothing and accessories are going to be gorgeous! Stephanie recently moved to South Florida from New York and brings along with herself her fantastic shirt making skills. Stephanie loves to piece together unusual colours and patterns to create unique, one-of-a-kind shirts that she sells not only in her business, 75rabbit, but also in brick and mortar boutiques in New York and London! Stephanie chose her business name based on the year of her birth - 1975, which was also the year of the Rabbit. We love it! While Stephanie mainly started out with clothing items - she is now also branching out into accessories. Of course, we are thrilled with this as a girl can never have too many accessories, right? Interview with Stephanie coming soon!
	Luca: Lushbox website: www.lushbox.com, contact: luca@lushbox.com Lushbox, Inc. is the product of one slightly addled twenty-something who has an unhealthy addiction to cosmetics, vegan bath products, and funky threads. Everyone knows that no one likes a quitter, so she skipped the 12-step program and is enabling shopaholics like herself to stock up on dessert and cocktail inspired bath & body goodies, unique retro inspired clothing, and natural cosmetics that are good, and good for you! Lushbox, Inc. is an Etsy Top Seller, and was a featured seller in October of 2006. When not mixing up all kinds of bath treats, Luca enjoys indie flicks, celebrity gossip, and collecting vintage lunchboxes. Interview with Luca coming soon!
	Monica Lara: PHBeads website: www.PHBeads.com contact: monica@phbeads.com Monica is a hidden pearl in the world of Marine Biology. By day, she works hard as a Marine Biologist - doing all sorts of cool things that we all want to do. By night, she is a jewelery designer and runs her business PHbeads, creating unique pieces of jewelry inspired by by the natural gifts of nature. With a minor in Geology, she has a stunning knack for picking out perfect combinations of gems and metal and combining them into a very aesthetically and unique pieces of wearable art. We all wish we had her talent! Interview with Monica coming soon!
	Ciara LaVelle : Ciara Loves You! website: http://www.ciara-loves-you.com contact: ciara.lavelle@gmail.com You'll find Ciara doing plenty of different things, but sitting still isn't one of them. True to her Gemini nature, she wears many hats: designer, seamstress, knitter, crocheter, zine producer, writer, editor, amateur web designer, feminist and momma to the cutest cat ever to be named after a Boston Red Sox left fielder. Ciara's been crafting since her high school misfit days, but thanks to her day job as a travel writer, she's able to scour the globe for inspiration for her next design. Her other pet project is the online journal of poetry and fiction The Furnace Review (www.thefurnacereview.com). Someday, somehow, she will appear on Project Runway. Just you wait. Interview with Ciara coming soon!
