Nathalie Mornu works as an editor at Lark Jewelry & Beading. She studied metals at the Appalachian Center for Craft in Smithville, Tennessee. Nathalie has dabbled in many crafts over the years, so as a sideline she sometimes creates projects for Lark Crafts publications--stuff as varied as stitched potholders, beaded jewelry, a reupholstered mid-century chair, a weird scarecrow from cutlery and a gingerbread igloo. Nathalie's author credits include Leather Jewelry, Contemporary Bead & Wire Jewelry, 500 Felt Objects, Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose Scarves, Quilt It with Wool and the best-selling A Is for Apron. Nathalie continues to design jewelry, and since discovering leather as a craft material, she's been slowly teaching herself to make sandals. She's filled with regret for all the years she could have spent building a hoard of breathtaking skins and creating magic with them.
