A minute with Tracy Taft Morton

Our folks are more than just vendors–they’re friends, moms, dads, and very talented artists and craftspeople who have important thoughts and ideas to share with the world. We’re the lucky ones who get to bring their talents to you.

Last week we had a chance to catch up with Tracy and talk to her about inspiration, yoga, and her handmade jewelry. The following excerpt is from our conversation:

To me a perfect day is spending time in my studio making jewelry with my dog Cooper curled up on a chair snoring. I’m a parent to two school age girls who I push to express themselves creatively. I’m creatively inspired by the landscapes and colors of the American west. I try to live by the saying: Less is More…I guess this is actually reflected in what I do with my bracelets as I’m simply using less of something new to create more with existing materials…not a new concept as I think this is what my depression era grandmother did all her life. And my heros are the millions of people around the world who come together as a lending community to donate and lend money to support microcredit loans to entrepreneurs in developing economies. www.kiva.com
