Can you even hear the words “copper foil overlay" and not know who Margo Marquette is? I don’t think it’s possible! Usually when I mention her name it’s met with a sharp inhale and some head shaking while words are searched for to express shock at the insane detail she’s able to create.  Her work reminds me a little bit of of shadow puppets, a lot of fables and folklore, and all timeless enchanted storytelling.
While speaking with Margo I was surprised and struck by how humble she is, and how she’s moved through our beloved craft with such ingenuity and resourcefulness.  Keep listening and you’ll see what I mean…

Join me as I crack it all wide open!
