Marcela Andrades Alfaro has a remarkable vision to assist foreign-born women--students and the wives of students at the University of Florida in Gainesville--to build and belong to a supportive and creative community where the women could learn and practice a variety of arts and crafts. She facilitates the blog for Minerva's Circle, a crafting group taking its names from Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, arts and crafts. The women have created everything from handbags, aprons and "monster quilts", to their own collection of dollies heading to Africa with Madeline Austin's "Dollies without Borders" project. Watch for a future article on Marcela and Minerva's Circle on this blog, and in the meantime, check out all the group's inspiring projects at minervascircle.blogspot.com .
