Random Gran – words images threads
Random Gran takes a project approach to the design and creation of artworks, craftworks, and saleable products. Some projects are small and result in one creation, while others are large and result in a collection of items, a novel, or a mix of words, images, and threads.
Gran prides herself on original designs in her creations. Therefore, this website highlights the design and development process as much as the finished item. The projects and gallery pages of the website share these items and articles.
The Random Gran online hub consists of this website, its blog posts, social media, such as Facebook and Pinterest, and a proposed online Etsy shop. Go to the About page for more information about Random Gran and Random Gran Online.
