When our chicken fajitas arrived, they looked different, too. Then the tortillas hit the table, and we knew something had gone…
When Crafty Chica Kathy Cano-Murillo cut loose with the secret that there’s a Mexican craft store in town, we were in the car within minutes.

It’s an embarrassment of Arizona riches, down under. First, word spread that not one, not two — but three Arizona artists will be featured at the 17th Bienniale of Sydney, an enormous and important art extravaganza beginning this Thursday in Sydney, Australia.

No, no animals we know of were harmed in the production of Rosie Bear, but you could certainly put your eye out with the long-ass needle artist (and high school senior!) Amanda Williams uses to create her needle-felted wool animal heads. You’ve seen them in Quick PHX — New Times’…
