Introducing our AMAZING Featured Artist for October... Niki Sargent Meiners

Happy Friday! Today we continue our "Featured Artist" series here at the Amazing Crafting Products blog. Each month we will be featuring one artist who will share a special project and some inspiration using Amazing Crafting Products.

Our featured artist this month is no stranger to Amazing Mold Putty, as she is also one of our Amazing Crafting Products Creative Team alumni – and we are proud to have Niki Sargent Meiners rejoin us as our Featured Artist for October. We are so excited to welcome her back during our 2 year Blogiversary Celebration!

A little bit about Niki...

Friend, Wife, Mom and an all around crafty old soul. Artist, Writer, Creative Director and Style Maker. Lover of old, fond of the new. Craver of excitement, establisher of the calm.


Growing up in a small mid-western town, Niki Meiners was surrounded by a modest, resourceful and very entrepreneurial family. Her simple upbringing spurred her "Can do" attitude and gave her the confidence to try any challenge placed before her. She knew there was more out there than just her small town and set off after high school to explore the world. It was through these travels that she discovered her love of art and her desire to make the world a prettier place. It was not until she suffered a paralyzing illness that she realized she wanted to reconsider her corporate career as a Chief Paper Pusher, and her thoughts immediately turned to her first passion, art. In 2003 she began an odyssey that would take her from product design to publication and everywhere in between. She is known for her distinctive, high quality creations that feature a diverse mix of styles and highly creative approach to even the smallest detail. 

Niki is an Idea Architect, easily outlining every project from concept to completion. Her creations are simultaneously beautiful and functional and her in depth knowledge of the industry allows her to produce projects with a specific understanding of both the consumers and the manufacturers. This knowledge has allowed her work to be featured in the industries leading craft and lifestyle publications and manufacturers’ websites.
