Name: Jacqueline Myers-Cho
Age: ageless
Location: Los Angeles CA
Profession: I am the author of STRANDS: Creating Unexpected Fabrics and Fashionable Projects, mixed media artist and teacher (am working on my second book)
Craft(s) of Choice: I am a mixed media artist so I really like to mix it up. I love to play with fabric, thread and paint. I like to crochet and sew and just pull all of these things together.

I grew up watching my mother create beautiful gowns that she wore to big parties. She also sewed all of my Barbie Doll clothing from the scraps so my dolls always looked like my mom. She taught me to sew and one of my first big projects was my prom gown in 10th grade.
In college I found my way to the Theatre department. I studied props, scene painting and majored in costume design. I think my experience making props is the reason I am a mixed media artist; I use any material and technique that will create the vision. I am always asking my self what if and I wonder. Always exploring.
