The room instantly brightens up when she walks in. She gives hugs and chats quietly with all of her guests in a gentle Scottish accent, putting a smile on each face. Her long, flowing skirt reaches all the way down to her ankles and sways back and forth as she walks. She wears no makeup. Her face is just an open canvas, sprinkled here and there with a natural wrinkle or two. Her name is Penny Sisto, an internationally-recognized fabric artist from the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland.
