Makers gotta make

It's been almost a year since I posted so I don't know if anyone will care but here are a few of the things I've been making this year. There was felt, polymer clay, sterling silver, copper enamel and collage. I tried laser cutting, beading and knitting hand warmers. I still have a love affair with paper, printing and linoleum prints. So many ideas and so little time.

Japanese seed beads, with brass and gold highlights.

More needle felting and knitting up on Etsy

Here are two new listings for my Etsy shop, Artnest. One is a needle felted pin in the shape of a house with embroidery and seed beads. The other is a hand knit scarf with fabulous colors which are good for chasing away the winter blues.

I have a new Vintage store on Etsy - The Mod Pod!

I love vintage clothing, accessories and housewares. I've finally opened an etsy store where I'll be selling some of  my personal collection as well as thing I find in my travels. I'm just starting to post things but here are a few photos of what's up.
