Elizabeth shares her woolly felt accessories with us as today’s featured crafter! The knitted headband would come in handy for me today – it’s a chilly and foggy May morning in the Northeast. Keep on crafting!!

Emily shows us her faux fur animal hides – a great alternative to the real thing! These look so fuzzy and warm, great to curl up in on a cool night. Emily’s art on her etsy page is also gorgeous, as well as her really cute doggie cuddling with one of the animal hides!

Swapna introduces me to something I have never heard of – Cold Porcelain. This clay medium mimics the look of real porcelain, just not as expensive! Take a look at Swapna’s elegant designs including beadwork, wire wrapping and the interesting Cold Porcelain

Time to get some crafters out there just in time for summer!!!! Hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather and excited for more of YOUR fantastic crafts

Our featured crafter, Jeana, thought of earring designs while a thunderstorm rolled through and came up with her gorgeous jewelry. She shows us colorful designs – my favorite being the wire wrapped bracelets!

Handmade is unique, has  a personal touch and reflects all the love and enthusiasm an artist puts in his or her work..it also reflects the passion of the artist.

Betty draws inspiration for her french antique looking dolls from vintage markets and retro pictures from the 20s. In her answer to ‘Why Handmade?,’ Betty hit the handmade nail on the head: ‘I can say that every doll got a part of my soul and that is not possible with a mass production.’

Hannah brings us some vintage inspired goodies from greeting cards to jewelry. My advice to you would be – keep crafting! You have such a great collection and so much creativity

Monsters, monsters and even more MONSTERS! Tranifer creates these wonky little monsters that look so cute and cuddly. My favorite is the zombie steak and the little narwhal – and don’t forget about the ones with the furry butts!!!

Spring has finally arrived!!! Hope everyone is as happy as we are at the blog for the oncoming of spring! It’s very fitting that our featured crafter, Laura, dresses up the babies in our life to be stylish and colorful – especially for the upcoming Easter holiday.
