Today's Heartmade artist is all about Houston! Diane Caplan is the Group Publisher of the awesome Houstonia Magazine and has just launched the new Love Wins Texas Magazine. Two magazines weren't enough for this powerhouse so she also created /skout/, first to "'scout'" out rare finds and independent designers," and then later to "creat[e] her own designs using elements from nature combined with vintage chains, gemstone chains and soldering techniques to create pieces that have a rustic, old world look." Each piece is unique, just like the person who wears it. Come visit Diane and /skout/ on Main Street on April 16th and scout out YOUR perfect wearable work of art!
