I love hiking in the woods. I love structures and buildings. My eye captures the subject and my imagination adds the detail. I want my creations to bring pleasure to the viewer...for the viewer to stop, take a moment and experience what I see. My medium is photography. I digitally enhance what I see using various tools. Nature is my inspiration and I love to share my interpretations. But … I do take an occasional twist to the industrial side. I specialize in taking a beautiful photograph and letting my creativity do the rest with color and detail.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.866667px; margin: 0in;"></p><table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="color: black; font-variant-caps: normal;"><tbody><tr><td height="0" width="122"></td></tr><tr><td></td><td><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img height="400" src="blob:https://www.blogger.com/1ce96ee7-a014-475b-899f-10695b64b220" v:shapes="image1.png" width="320" /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br clear="ALL" /><b><span lang="EN" style="color: #1a1a1a; line-height: 15.333332px;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.866667px; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.866667px; margin: 0in;"><b><span lang="EN" style="color: #1a1a1a; line-height: 15.333332px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Meet Maia Langlois from Fairy Teeth…</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.866667px; margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #1a1a1a; line-height: 15.333332px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My Name is Maia Langlois I am a freelance illustrator and art lover and I started my small business <i>Fairy Teeth Illustrations </i>in order to kickstart myself about being serious about being a full time artist that hopefully one day I can support myself and my family with. Art is quite literally my biggest passion and I cannot imagine a world without it to the point where I now want to pursue it as my dream job! I went to school for my BFA in illustration and plan hopefully to succeed in further business ventures other than just freelance work within my community. Fairy teeth is a love child of hard work and growing passions for my craft and art pieces that I like to share with others. It's silly, macabre, cute, and whimsical like me as a person and I know it is a brand that reflects the wonder I felt when first discovering art. I've been making art literally my entire life, I even went to college for a degree for it! but the only other art fair I've ever been to was in 2021 at a Coventry art fair in Cleveland which was super fun. This will be my very first Avant-Garde Show and I'm super excited! </span></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="color: black; font-variant-caps: normal;"><tbody><tr><td height="0" width="141"></td></tr><tr><td></td><td><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img height="400" src="blob:https://www.blogger.com/9b92d5a4-f6fa-43b8-9055-4e6f48510b53" v:shapes="image3.png" width="392" /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.866667px; margin: 0in;"></p><table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="color: black; font-variant-caps: normal;"><tbody><tr><td height="0" width="77"></td></tr><tr><td></td><td><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img height="379" src="blob:https://www.blogger.com/0bfb7efc-2acb-4484-a851-46c399789111" v:shapes="image4.png" width="400" /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br clear="ALL" /><span lang="EN" style="color: #1a1a1a; line-height: 15.333332px;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.866667px; margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #1a1a1a; line-height: 15.333332px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.866667px; margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #1a1a1a; line-height: 15.333332px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What inspires me to create is all the color and stories I can see and hear within our world.

In junior high art class, we were required to complete sketchbook assignments. I enjoyed the assignments and spent hours working on pencil sketches from life. When my instructor saw my progress, and she saw the different angles and close-ups, she assumed I was using a lightbox and accused me of cheating. That's when I knew I was onto something. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKH5P5B_VTghCvrpG0Dho7KLEsSScyKbzAZTJfghcGtF75L25yMFeEEm1CAxSdsVZm1uGY02cUKWHEknLZjRVfgWLGGw9WkTxKn8YSVAwGGw2hFpHCX603VnpRlfQwyZCCktUHLqgUpFQqalXD-9AbnkhISVF8ar5fYTYE0UrYchLhBLlLYcbrHrO/s1440/pic3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKH5P5B_VTghCvrpG0Dho7KLEsSScyKbzAZTJfghcGtF75L25yMFeEEm1CAxSdsVZm1uGY02cUKWHEknLZjRVfgWLGGw9WkTxKn8YSVAwGGw2hFpHCX603VnpRlfQwyZCCktUHLqgUpFQqalXD-9AbnkhISVF8ar5fYTYE0UrYchLhBLlLYcbrHrO/w400-h300/pic3.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My creative process.. I enjoy researching a topic or concept and then finding images that mash up to support the essence or content of the topic (like an illustrator) and then find appropriate reference images to work from. From there, I arrange a composition on canvas with a rough pencil sketch and then either create a complicated pencil drawing and fix it as an under drawing, slowly building painting layers on top, or paint alla prima using colors that fit the mood of the painting. I always paint to music in my home studio, preferably in the morning with natural light spilling into my home studio. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFtTxARyEZclW1QMdEVH2gV5QIPCvicN59Lbw6XpHNlKN5iubyDoJZ2D_oQABi4oNpFn-IIsPBJkENVYYzIuvu9GyuovT5-ld3V8PAWkAI3_wnQgd6IYiMsJkhes1RmfR7SjKuLUAoDwpdKutO_sLuwMOD5YIMW_YG-hl8I2ol3rNozJQXHvqDqdc0/s1870/pic4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1870" data-original-width="1870" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFtTxARyEZclW1QMdEVH2gV5QIPCvicN59Lbw6XpHNlKN5iubyDoJZ2D_oQABi4oNpFn-IIsPBJkENVYYzIuvu9GyuovT5-ld3V8PAWkAI3_wnQgd6IYiMsJkhes1RmfR7SjKuLUAoDwpdKutO_sLuwMOD5YIMW_YG-hl8I2ol3rNozJQXHvqDqdc0/w400-h400/pic4.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">My </span>five<span style="font-size: small;"> year goal..

I have a general idea or see something that inspires me and the spark is lit. It grows into a flame as i think about it and plan in my head. Sometimes this all takes place in seconds and I’ve started working on the project, putting other things aside. Sometimes, it can take weeks to get to the creating part. For example, I’m working on two projects right now that demonstrate the two ends of that time spectrum. I took a photograph of a design on a carpet in the Bangalore, India airport while on vacation and instantly knew I wanted to recreate it in mosaic. That mosaic is done. In a box is a mosaic that looks great in my head! However, the process of transferring it to the substrate has been… well, not happening. I’ve laid out several designs with the tesserae I want to use and nothing looks good. As it was taking up a precious station in my workroom, I finally swept everything into a box and put it aside. That mosaic has to swirl around in my brain for a while longer. </span></span></p><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #222222; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #222222; white-space: pre-wrap;">My goal for HolmesMadeArt is to have it be viable enough that I can quit my day job and just make art all day long.

People spend a lot of time indoors, and everyone has blank walls. If I can bring inspiration and oft-overlooked details of our city, to the otherwise routine indoors spaces we frequent, that is my goal.</span></div><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The message behind my work is to look at things in a different way. It's an overused phrase, but we really need to stop and smell the roses, amidst our increasingly busy lives. If you don't have the time to visit those 'roses,' I can bring them to you in the form of my art. Details matter, and can inspire us. I enjoy that inspiration. I enjoy conversation-starters, and images that draw us to something deeper, through my unique perspective.</span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnssU693ROYvxehXlRGasDwSb6G06nGYKwObZe90kJA3ZhinnWi0uuQlQ5WcwWqrUVC57CGQ0P9cPt9_BV9jNT96Cp3ZDHzSSR6phBUnej2Mgple66e4ou8wJxN-kPFf-KYFBQkMSbimg/s1600/logo_96+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #4d469c; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnssU693ROYvxehXlRGasDwSb6G06nGYKwObZe90kJA3ZhinnWi0uuQlQ5WcwWqrUVC57CGQ0P9cPt9_BV9jNT96Cp3ZDHzSSR6phBUnej2Mgple66e4ou8wJxN-kPFf-KYFBQkMSbimg/s1600/logo_96+copy.jpg" style="border: none; padding: 8px; position: relative;" /></a></div></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial;"><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b><span style="line-height: 20px; text-align: start;">2</span><span style="line-height: 20px; text-align: start;">022 Rocky River Fall Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show</span></b></span></span></div></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;"><div><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Sat.

People spend a lot of time indoors, and everyone has blank walls. If I can bring inspiration and oft-overlooked details of our city, to the otherwise routine indoors spaces we frequent, that is my goal.</div></span><span class="im"><div><br /></div><div>The message behind my work is to look at things in a different way. It's an overused phrase, but we really need to stop and smell the roses, amidst our increasingly busy lives. If you don't have the time to visit those 'roses,' I can bring them to you in the form of my art. Details matter, and can inspire us. I enjoy that inspiration. I enjoy conversation-starters, and images that draw us to something deeper, through my unique perspective.</div><div><br /></div><div>You can view photos of my work at: https://www.instagram.com/edwardloomisphoto/.</div></span></span></div></div><div><span class="im"><div dir="auto"><p style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Meet Kirk Allen from Kirk's Pencils...</b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2;"><span style="color: #454545;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #454545;">I’m a self-taught artist and have been drawing off and on since I was a kid.

My name is Ryan and I am the owner/operator of IAC Laser Engraving. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">IAC Laser Engraving is a worker-owned collective that focuses on producing high quality laser engravings. It is also home of the world's first and only Wooden Coloring book! We also do custom wood art, family portraits engraved onto wood, and much more! We have been in business for six months and this is our first Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">At IAC Laser, we believe the creative spark is alive in each person, we all just have to find it somehow! Before we grew into the business we are now, we experienced a ton of trial and error... I failed a lot but kept going. I always respected woodworkers and wanted to try it myself. Our process is long and meticulous but we enjoy every step in the process. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When I think about the future of IAC Laser Engraving, I'd like to grow the business to 100 members in our worker-owned collective and expand into machining and manufacturing.

I think the first thing I made that sparked this passion was a keepsake box that I wanted to make (not buy) for my wife for our anniversary. I'd love to say that all of my creativity comes from my own mind, but rarely do I have an original inspiration that pops into my head. It's often something I see and like and think I'd like to make. It's not a cookie cutter process. I make each piece my own but all the same I definitely get a lot of my ideas from other makers. </span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0tsMaiuo9RnkRXuukT7AUVThopfbLyPckUakb_Cb6c_tx2aigAl0eIXC_Vq3AqIFRt7IEIPAUFeBiKjX34vLvWIaVY7iD1GbE_6roY4rYZpdso3qmaD_XYQ5bFPpJ-8Khf-fPzYVHr9otqv_TQU8yB7Fd8j9wv6ETf8o6APUAaYXZQwf5Sr90wp03=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0tsMaiuo9RnkRXuukT7AUVThopfbLyPckUakb_Cb6c_tx2aigAl0eIXC_Vq3AqIFRt7IEIPAUFeBiKjX34vLvWIaVY7iD1GbE_6roY4rYZpdso3qmaD_XYQ5bFPpJ-8Khf-fPzYVHr9otqv_TQU8yB7Fd8j9wv6ETf8o6APUAaYXZQwf5Sr90wp03=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've always loved woodworking and thought WOW people can make some amazing things out of wood.

I found that people enjoyed what I made, and I loved making it. I hope to see myself well established and enjoying my craft full time in five years. I can't say that I have any specific messages behind my work other than my absolute love of doing it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Meet D’Juna from First Beginning Generation 556 BC...</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hi, I am D’Juna Boyd.

My craft of creating facial rubs, soaps, moisturizers, and candles were reintroduced and cultivated during the pandemic, and have since become a passion for me. Another very important reason I started in skin care was to provide my family and myself with products that are skin safe. It is also very exciting to me to see my finished products.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The message behind my work is to bring awareness that we should be more conscious about the everyday products that we use around our homes and on our skin.

I fell in love with metalsmithing after taking some local art classes. Early on I would give my creations as gifts to friends and family. Everyone kept telling me I should start selling my pieces and once I had no more room for jewelry in my drawers I decided to go for it and start selling. I’ve been seriously selling my jewelry for about the last 2 years. I love figuring out new and different ways to work with metal to create pieces that have organic, unique designs taking inspiration from nature and architecture. Lately I’ve been experimenting with different medias to add more variety of colors to my pieces. What inspires me most to keep creating is the thought that someone may find some joy from something I’ve made.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I’ve always loved working with my hands and so I decided to try a local art class on jewelry making and fell in love with it. Before I create, I often start by sitting outside with a sketch book for inspiration and ideas for my jewelry designs. Then I think about the person who might be wearing the jewelry - what occasions they’d use it, how it will be worn, etc. I sketch out my ideas and make a plan of action for the steps that are needed to create it. Jewelry making requires a well thought out sequence, otherwise the piece may not work out (and that happens!) so I like to be sure I’ve planned out my steps correctly. Then it’s time to sit at my jewelry bench and get to work!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDDF6v1iXyoX1Hs944TEzt2RRHyUdnF7MqBdvw2JmKHE0TPC3PbcGeX2BNcorzj9ilt8PyqbBZVVucKVf6FsXlHy8RI9ehdFjdJhT2VRktgP35EQrMy2RLC7MQdpUzPmAzIxk12-vU-CS2gdKzd8qcBUq8nC_QI7T5sOY_V4b0bS1siNA2KNs9zwI4=s480" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDDF6v1iXyoX1Hs944TEzt2RRHyUdnF7MqBdvw2JmKHE0TPC3PbcGeX2BNcorzj9ilt8PyqbBZVVucKVf6FsXlHy8RI9ehdFjdJhT2VRktgP35EQrMy2RLC7MQdpUzPmAzIxk12-vU-CS2gdKzd8qcBUq8nC_QI7T5sOY_V4b0bS1siNA2KNs9zwI4=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In 5 years, I hope to be continuing to create jewelry, expanding my website and being able to take on more custom, special orders.

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hi, my name is Jackie Pecon. I’m an Eastlake resident of 14 years and I find the area very nice. I’m a mom and a grandma that loves her grandkids. Other grandparents play with their grandkids and send them home. I want to keep them. I work full-time and sew the rest of my time. I’m very busy with craft shows and my Facebook page featuring all of the items I make. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have been sewing for many years. Every time there would be an occasion of someone getting married, having a baby or even getting sick, I would make a quilt, baby blanket or a throw blanket. It would bring a smile to their face and they knew that someone cared enough to take the time to make something so lovely. A few years ago, my daughter had her own daughter and the question was raised about what can the baby wear to keep her warm and safe inside the car. It has been a big concern that small children cannot wear coats in car seats because it has been found unsafe. The coat adds bulk and they have found that the child can slip out of the car seat on impact. So I got to thinking, did some research and that’s when I started making Car Seat Ponchos and Car Seat Covers. All the seat belts go under the poncho or the car seat cover. Car Seat Covers provide</span><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue" , sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> them with privacy and protects them from the elements and unwanted touching. </span></div>

I never knew what a big hit these were going to be. It started off as a gift to my granddaughter and then took off from there. I have so many prints and colors to choose from. These are perfect for going to grandma’s house, daycares or even the overnight Girl Scout camp outs. They fit perfect on the cots.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Telluric Studios was created in 2019, and focuses on producing objects that are inspired by local nature. Many of our designs incorporate found materials such as glass, driftwood, and rocks from Lake Erie. In designing new products we honor the materials by creating new forms that amplify their natural characteristics. Telluric Studios has been a therapeutic, creative outlet that allows us to bond with each other as well as nature. </span><br />

Since 2014 I have been an exhibitor at the Berea Alive and Well art fest that is held in September with the jewelry. </span><span style="font-size: 17.41px;">I hope to expand to be doing more shows as this is just a hobby for now.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Mikki Ambler. I am a mother of two grown boys and happily marring for 20 years. I am the Creator and Lead Designer of Eklektik Motef Studio- Forever Wood Flower Decor. I worked as a Healthcare Administrator for two leading Dialysis Companies in the Cleveland Market for nearly 17 years. I grew tired of the pull between work/life balance, or lack there of, so when our youngest was in his senior year of high school, essentially leaving me and my hubby empty nesters, I saw this as an opportunity for me to “Do Me!" So that is what I did. I resigned from my leadership role and responsibilities, took 5 months off to enjoy the remaining months of our sons senior year, and here I am. Living my best life! I work full time at NASA and at Eklektik Motef Studio. That is where you’ll find me working in the evenings and weekends and I couldn’t be happier!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been creating my beauties for nearly 20 years on and off and mostly during the winter holiday season. It really just started as a hobby for me. Since I find to have more time on my hands, my drive to recharge and jumpstart my business is at a peak. At first, it was something for me do when our children were little tikes that didn’t include football and LEGO’s. I would participate in seasonal craft shows throughout the years to earn extra money and found many people enjoyed my style and creativity. So, when time permitted or no work interruptions I created my ”beauties”. Family and friends always complimented my work and began requesting custom orders and the rest is history. Now I am able to do what I absolutely enjoy more frequently and without interruption. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There really isn’t any rhyme or reason as to how I create what I do. It just kind of happens, if that makes sense. Each one of my “Beauties” is as unique as my customer. I have strong listening skills, when my customer tells me what he/she wants, I deliver. If I’m preparing for a show I ask myself, what will put a smile on someone’s face? What “Beauty” can I create that will bring joy into someone’s life”? Brining a smile and creating happiness for someone via my Forever Beauties inspires me. Following my dreams and ambitions to work for myself full time is inching closer and my supportive family gives me the drive to put my creativity in overdrive.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Ashley Fehribach. I grew up in Westlake/North Olmsted and I currently live in Avon. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 fur babies Desmond and Zoey. I have always loved to craft and go to craft shows with my mother. It has been a dream to work with cats and now I have the best job making toys for cats as well as making items for cat lovers!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been sewing since high school but I didn't start to make my own cat toys until early 2014. December 2014 is when I opened my online shop. I had a very detail oriented and analytical day job. I was craving some creativity, so in my free time I would work on craft projects at home. I am always thinking of fun things to turn into toys. I try to create unique toys that you wont find at pet stores and toys you would actually want to see your kitty play with. Some of my favorite toys are the pizza slices, donuts and fortune cookies!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I learned to sew when I was younger and would often make gifts for family and friends. I started to create my own cat toys after I saw a need for fun unique cat items. Once I have an idea of what toy I want to make it all starts with creating a pattern. Once I have the pattern created I will cut out a few sizes of it in felt and sew everything together. My cat toy testers Desmond and Zoey are always up for testing out a new cat toy! They help me decide if the shape and size is right. They really are the best co-workers!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My goal is to make cats and cat owners happy! These cat toys are not just for the cats but also for the owners. Its hard not to smile when you see your cat kicking around a pizza slice! In five years, I would love to see Furball Fanatic in more retail stores. Currently I am in a few local stores but I would love to branch out!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Ashley Smith and I'm a full time jewelry artist from Olmsted Falls, Ohio! My other passions are painting, flow arts/circus performance, weaving, and traveling! I have been creating jewelry for about 5 years. I have been fabricating for 4 years.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I dropped out of nursing school after feeling the itch to discover something more fulfilling to me. I have always had a creative side, but never really allowed myself to explore it. I fell in love with wire wrapping, but felt it was very limiting and wanted to expand my abilities. I decided to major in Crafts, with a concentration in Jewelry/Metals/Enameling at Kent State. It was a wonderful program and I had a lot of amazing mentors along the way such as Rachel Suzanne Smith and Andrew Kuebeck.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love to collect gemstones and mineral specimens so I am constantly surrounded by inspiration! I like to begin by choosing a gemstone or material that catches my eye and start designing around it. I always have a rough sketch before starting, but I like to view it as a suggestion, not a complete blueprint which allows each design to evolve organically. I am very inspired by patterns in nature and many of my pieces have a message of environmental sustainability. I strive to work ethically, including sourcing my metals and gemstones from reputable and ethical companies!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Meet Emily Collins of EmTree...</span></b></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am Emily Collins from Toledo, Ohio. I am a graduate of Ohio University with a Bachelor's Degree in Retail Merchandising and Fashion Product Development and an Associates Degree in Art History. I have always been an artsy individual - I picked up drawing and painting at a young age and began finding other creative outlets throughout the years. With EmTree I've finally found my niche! At my primary full-time job, I am a lead of Audio Operations for an entertainment service provided by local libraries. In my spare time, I enjoy reading novels and comic books. If I'm not making soap, my nose is in a book! My favorite genres are sci-fi & fantasy and adventure.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've always been into the arts and working on crafts. I like keeping my hands busy and challenging myself by trying new projects. I have been making soap for 11 months and other bath and body products for about four years. Last Holiday season, I wanted to make my co-workers a gift and I thought "why not soap!" I gave them each a bar and many asked how they can get more. I saw this as my shot to finally start EmTree which has been a 'brain child' of mine since 2015 when I started with making natural body butters for family members.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the EmTree creative process, I start with designing a soap and finding a fragrance to match the design. Once a collection and possible theme is complete, I start creating the soaps. I've been working on seasonal collections which have been a big success and each soap is really fun to make! The people that inspire me to create are my family members, friends, and my supportive community! EmTree couldn't be what it is today without them. Additionally, I use creative influences of some of my favorite artists - Van Gogh, Monet, Ritcher to name a few. I see my products as small works of art for all to enjoy.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">EmTree is about showing and experiencing how plastic-free and eco-friendly products can fit into everyone's daily life. By going plastic-free, you're creating less waste, it's better for your body as many plastics contain toxins, and it's also a money saver in the long run! There are so many great benefits for you and the Earth by being eco-conscious. EmTree wants to be one of the leading bath and body artisans to show you how beautiful plastic-free can be. Eventually, I hope EmTree is my only full time job and I will have grown my line of products to serve a variety of customers, maybe even a store front! The Rocky River Avant-Garde Show will be my first event and I am so excited to share EmTree with everyone!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi, I am Kristen Teitenberg, owner of Naught Too Shabby in Rocky River, Ohio. Naught Too Shabby is a home décor store filled with an eclectic mix of new and used décor for your home. I recently expanded, opening a DIY Workshop Studio to hold classes and private parties to teach others how to be crafty and create while having a good time. Some of the classes I offer are wood sign making, furniture painting, metal jewelry stamping and kids crafts and parties. I have about twenty-five years of crafting experience and about ten years experience of painting furniture! This will be my second Avant-Garde Show.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started doing crafts after I had children. It was a great way to spend time with them and I loved seeing their faces of joy when they made something and were so proud. We use to paint Christmas ornaments for our tree every year and it was amazing to look at all of them on the tree from all the years and how they just got better and better. When they started growing up and wanted to be social with their friends instead of hanging out with their mom, I started going to garage sales and estate sale and finding furniture pieces to refinish. I loved being able to turn something old into something that looked like I just picked it up from Arhaus. Painting furniture and crafting is very calming for me. I enjoy it. It is my passion.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Besides Pinterest, Instagram and other social media, I enjoy going to garage sales and estate sales to find inspiration. I usually will find a piece and have a vision of what I can turn it into. I don’t always know what color or what I am going to do, but I can see potential in a piece. It’s just a feeling. I usually try to find unique pieces, something you can’t find in just any store.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I discovered my talent by just being persistent and trial and error. Pieces I have refinished have not always turned out perfect or exactly the way I envisioned but there is always someone that loves it and wants to take it home! When I see an item that calls out to me. I look at the bones of the piece first to make sure it’s not falling apart and it can be cleaned up nice. Next the piece will go to the shop, then the brainstorming starts….. should I paint or leave as is and renew the wood, what color should I paint? Should I paint it a neutral color or something that pops? Sometimes this can take a month or two or a year. It just depends when the lightbulb goes off on how I envision it. Then I prep (sand, repair, clean). Once it’s all clean the fun begins, the painting (the part I love). Lastly, I put a top coat on the piece for protection and sit and admire! It always amazes me what paint can do. Sometimes I even get sad when it finds a new home!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Five years from now I see myself mainly focused on the DIY Studio Workshops. I love teaching others how to create and love that I can give them that confidence. The sign making parties are very popular now and I do love how much signs add to a home. It’s nice to see people gather with friends, family and neighbors to paint and at the same time take home a professional looking sign that they want to hang in their home. I love working with children too and am excited to offer Birthday parties and kids crafts.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The message behind my work is that “anyone” can create. I have watched so many videos, read blogs and have learned from so many other creators. It amazes me how many Facebook groups I am in of business owners sharing their knowledge to help others succeed. Sometimes people need guidance and just need confidence that they can do it. You just have to try. Everyone has an imagination. When I hold classes, I can give everyone the same instructions and the same paint colors and yet they still always look different. It’s a beautiful thing!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Creating my handbags and accessories brings me much joy. I love working with the fabrics and textures making a classy looking handbag that may be just right for you. We, as women, look for a handbag that is specific to our needs whether it has pockets, zipper closer a certain kind of strap/handle. I create my handbags with a full front pocket to hold all your important items at your fingertips with soft webbing handled for a comfortable fit. Also offered are handmade zipper pouches, mini wallets and lip balm totes as well as special character handbags for the little girl in your life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even though I’ve been sewing since childhood, my business began when I launched an Etsy store in 2011, listing my very colorful handbags, tea bag wallets, and water bottle totes. With experience over the years, my design has settled down to a more classic handbag style in neutral colors. Things have blossomed and I am now established both at indoor and outdoor shows.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I learned how to knit when I was very young. I started doing more complicated patterns when I was in college. I set it down for a long time (while raising children and pursuing counted cross-stitch). About 3 years ago, I joined the prayer shawl knitting group at our church. They truly inspired me. After knitting many prayer shawls, I started searching for more ideas. Thank God for Google and YouTube! After knitting fingerless gloves for all of my female relatives, I thought - I could do this as a business.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
I was inspired to do this when I saw fingerless gloves that were embroidered on Pinterest. I had never embroidered. I also noticed that no one in America was posting such gloves. So, I taught myself how to embroider and got my inspiration from Pinterest. Most of them, I created as I went. After making many gloves, I branched into baby items, scarves, hats, and my own idea - Mobile Mittens. I come up with a theme and pattern and then knit as many different colors of it as I can. I have other themes I can't wait to try out, but, I'm still knitting the colors of my present theme. I have so many more ideas in my head and I can't wait to put them on my needles.</span><br />

Knitting has always been a part of me off and on throughout the years. It was just a culmination of events that lead me here. In five years, I may branch out with a website for custom orders, or sell on Pinterest or Etsy. For now, I'm trying the craft fair route.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Knitting is a passion and also therapeutic for me. It takes a lot of time to create one item, but it's very rewarding when I can add it to my inventory. I'm hoping that what I've created will make people smile.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6pt;">As an artist and photographer, I find so much joy in creating things, capturing memories and connecting with all types of people. Cleveland is my home but I love traveling the world. I'm fascinated by introverts, people who love numbers and scary movies - I'll never understand. My mom is my hero and gave me a love for fresh flowers, hospitality and the ability to make friends with a doorknob.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My mom is what got me into art. Besides being superwoman, she was always very crafty and innovative in her own ways. She always encouraged me to step out and try everything. I've been an artist my whole life, but I fell into this style of painting about 4 years ago. I'm still discovering my talent. It's a process that I'm overwhelmed by. I always want to be pushing myself to learn and be better. I believe talent is God-given and our only responsibility is to use it and be grateful.<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As artsy as it sounds, I'm inspired by people. We are all different, full of depth and texture - not one the same.<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span>My process is to start, stop, walk away, come back, tweak, and let it be done. You always know when it's done. I'm often asked what is the message behind my work, but I don't always have an answer. Sometimes, I'm inspired by a story or a place but most often music plays a big part. I've found that if I'm too planned out, I mess it up. I like to go with the flow and see where it leads. My favorite part of the entire creative process is when someone is connected to a piece and tells me how they feel or what they see. In five years, I would like to be doing larger custom work in people’s homes or commercial spaces.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My business is Chocolate 143! I make gourmet chocolate treats that are really fun. I try and make something that makes your party extra special by making treats that no one else has personalized or theme created so that each treat is a reflection of you to make your event stand out but at an affordable cost. We make some of our own molds so I am able to offer some items that can't be found elsewhere on chocolate such as some of my BB8 from Star Wars or Pokémon. I have been doing this for about 2 years and we offer chocolate treats for parties, weddings, graduation, holidays and any other kind of party. </span></div>

My good friend Angel from Fallen Angel told me about your shows and I was accepted and have done very well and am excited to have received a following of customers that has also lead to many orders. I have been concentrating on doing larger, exclusive shows like Avant-Garde and getting away from smaller shows. I will be signing up for many other Avant-Garde shows and concentrating on that customer base. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I made chocolate with my mom as a little girl and didn't continue making it as I got older due to work, family, and just general life. I started making it again for schools treats and my son's friends. All in a sudden people would call me asking me to make some for their child's birthday party or for a platter at work and so on. Now I have a calendar filled with future orders. We pride ourselves in offering the typical chocolate treats but also new things or themed items that give your party that personalization to make you stand out. My dream is to have a chocolate shop where I could devote full time to making chocolates. It is such a great feeling when people see my stuff and say "OMG! THAT is an Oreo cookie. It is too cute to eat". The message behind my work is to create something fun and something different that makes people smile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Amanda scours Pinterest a lot for ideas that she can make into her own. She sometimes received requests for certain things and tries to make the vision of the customer come to life. Our five-year goal is to continue full time with craft shows, growing nearer to Jesus and shining Him to everyone we encounter at shows. Our primary message is John 6:35: "Jesus said, 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not hunger, and he who believes in me will never thirst.'" A secondary message is Psalm 34:8a: "Taste and see that the Lord is good."</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Meet Emily Adkins from Elemental Earth Magick... </b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">My name is Emily Adkins. Like many women, I've been infatuated with jewelry ever since I can remember. When I was 12, I got the opportunity to learn how to make hemp macramé bracelets and I took it seriously. I made bracelets for all my friends, my parents, and even my older brother. I eventually taught myself how to make necklaces and keychains, but I never really did anything with them. My brother mentioned trying to sell them, but I was too young and uneducated to know how to strive for such a big goal. So, I continued to gift jewelry to family and friends. I made it to a couple craft shows and taught a small class, but unfortunately, nothing ever came of it. Then one day, years and years later, after scrolling through my Instagram feed and seeing all these successful small businesses of handmade products a light bulb started to glow. "I can do this," I said to myself over and over. I made a decision to give it a shot. Now, I make copper and gemstone jewelry and I'm obsessed with it. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I'm a night owl by nature. The moon must bring out my creativity because I have a difficult time making anything during the day. I don't have my own office or workbench so I create in my living room. I'll sit down with some snacks, binge watch Frasier, Friends, or The Office for the fifth time and the ideas just flow. It's nothing special, but it's the way I work. The inspiration comes from a multiplicity of things. I've always wanted to work for myself. I've always loved making jewelry. I see others living this way and it reaffirms my own endeavors. There's a freedom that comes with knowing how to create. No matter what it is you make, just knowing how can be incredibly empowering. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">In five years, I see myself needing to hire an assistant because I have an incredible amount of business. I see myself owning a workbench and a cute little office in my own home on my own land to work out of. I'll be heading into my fifth year of art and craft shows and making a living being my own boss. I want my business to show people they can do anything they set their mind to. If you want something bad enough and strive for it every single day it will happen. You gotta have faith. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been an artist most of my life. When I was a little girl, the best gift for me was always a fresh box of crayons and a tablet of blank paper or a coloring book! For many years I enhanced walls, furniture, clothing, and many other inanimate objects. One day my mother asked me to create a set of wine glasses for her theater group. That was about 15 years ago and I have been painting glassware and growing my business ever since. Glass is not the only surface I beautify though. I still continue to paint children's rooms, furniture, clothing and much more! I absolutely love what I do! Alongside my glassware business, I am a full-time Executive Assistant to the SVP, Director of Key4Women at Key Bank. I was born and raised in Lakewood, OH and I am the proud mother of my 25-year-old son who is a Paramedic with Cleveland EMS and I spend my free time enjoying the life I have built with my fiancé, family, and friends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana";">Since a young age, my passion was always drawing/coloring and making things pretty. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 12pt;">My mother got me into crafting. I have always been an artist, but at the time I was painting children’s room, furniture, clothing, </span>and<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 12pt;"> other mediums. My mom was having a group of ladies over for cocktails prior to going to the theater to see “CATS”. She asked me to create some hand painted wine glasses for the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">event. I had never painted on glass before </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">so I was reluctant, but with her </span>encouragement<span style="font-size: 12pt;">, I studied the process, practiced and was successful. I was hooked; I painted on every pie</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 12pt;">ce of clear glass I could find in my house, my mother’s and my grandmother’s until my mother asked, “What are you going to do with all of this?” We laughed but decided to take it to the St. Mary’s Craft Show. I came home with six pieces, everyone LOVED it! I’ve been doing it ever since! This will be my first Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I must be in the creative mood so to prepare, I sometimes look through Home and Garden magazine for inspiration and color; then I just get down to it. I can’t just create one piece; once I get started I get lost in it! I see myself still creating lasting gifts for my clients and their recipients. If it weren’t for health benefits I would just paint the rest of my life. My message is to be inspired to make others happy! Life is short; enjoy every moment and don’t wait for a special occasion to break out your beautiful glassware; drink from them every day!</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For two years now, I have a full-time visual artist who lives and works in Lakewood, OH. I have always been a maker and interested in art, but when I found myself between jobs for the first time in my adult life, I decided to pursue art as a full-time profession. I am glad to be getting the chance to support myself doing what I love the most.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> My parents encouraged me to be creative and make things from a young age. As time went on and I became more serious about my art, I learned that experimenting, making lots of work, and learning how to filter that work is perhaps just as important as talent.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As an abstract artist, I enjoy building my own experimental worlds from scratch in a format that has an instant impact on the viewer. Unlike reading or listening to music, viewing art has an immediacy to it that makes it unlike any other experience. Of course, many pieces continue to reveal more to the viewer over days, months, and years.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My process relies heavily on experimentation. I create work through drawing, painting, and collage and leave many works visible around my studio. Often times seeing two different works next to each other inspires a new, more powerful work. In this way, I am constantly filtering, distilling, and curating my own creations. My process is highly selective and things do get left on the cutting room floor. I want only my most potent work to reach the viewer. I typically work in series, producing 3 or more works in each series.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In five years, I would love to be not only supporting myself with my art but growing my audience while doing so, including by showing my art internationally. Being in a position where I could hire an assistant or two, along with having a larger, better-lit studio would help take my art to the next level. An immediate goal is to have my first solo show at a gallery. The message behind my work is "Sooner or later, everything comes together."</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hi there! We are Andrew & Cassy Quillin. We live in a cabin in the woods and bake pies! We specialize in four-inch mini pies that are baked fresh daily. We also bake up full-size pies for the holidays and special orders. We focus on seasonal flavors and use local and organic ingredients to the highest degree possible. From our all-butter crusts to our fresh fillings, every piece of the pie is made from scratch, with love. Launching in October 2018, Home Slice Pies is a roaming pie shop, which means you can find us at local farmers’ markets, craft shows, breweries, and other Cleveland area events. We love to cater weddings and parties too! We are brand new to Avant-Garde, but we are excited to be participating in 3 shows this year! </span></div>

In fact, we believe pie has special powers - it can heal, comfort, say thank you, apologize, and congratulate. It is such a cozy and nostalgic treat! We also believe that pie is meant to be shared. And that's what really inspires us: sharing our pies with our community! We have a large collection of pie cookbooks that we read for inspiration. We also love to brainstorm ideas for new pies based on the seasons and holidays. We have a lot of fun coming up with seasonal flavors and spending a weekend testing them out.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We wanted to find something that we could do together and really enjoy. Since cooking and baking has always been our number one shared passion/hobby, we knew that was the direction we wanted to go in. The idea for Home Slice Pies came up in one of our brainstorming sessions and we just fell in love with the idea and ran with it. We cook together every night and we love to bake up new treats on the weekends. After Cassy was in a bad car accident 2 years ago, we got really into pie making - it's very therapeutic and healing! It really became a passion for both of us and the feedback we got from friends, coworkers, and family who sampled our pies made us realize that we could be onto something! In five years, we would love to have a food truck. A larger commercial kitchen space and savory pies are also on the wish list! Overall, our message is that pie is a simple (and delicious!) pleasure in today's chaotic and complicated world - share it with those you love! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

My schedule is mine and I am volunteering to keep busy. As a child, I went to summer camps where crafts were the "big thing." I remember enjoying crafting but then school and life moved in and took over. I began making jewelry about one-and-a-half years ago and have found I enjoy the design process the most. My inspirations just seem to come to me as I am sitting at my work desk. I have a very creative mother and I guess it took this long for me to realize I inherited some of her talents.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I believe I should have tapped into this craft years ago as it has been hiding inside me. I have a sister-in-law who began working in metal once she retired. That really pushed me to give it a go. My creative process beings by choosing my beads, then I work a design, walk away from it for a while, and then go back to tweak it. I don't believe jewelry should match, it should be an extension of the way you are feeling. For example, a red dress and purple jewelry or a blue dress and yellow jewelry, why not? If it speaks to you, wear it and wear it often. This will be my first Avant-Garde Show and I am excited to be able to participate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I’m Rachel Town owner of Beach Glass Treasure. I started this company because of my son who has autism. For three years now, when Lake Erie isn’t frozen we walk the shore every day hunting for beach glass and it has been the most inspiring journey for both of us. Over the past year, I’ve created beach glass necklaces, charm bracelets, earrings, rosaries, and purse charms for women (in sterling silver), along with men’s beach glass necklaces, bracelets, and keychains, made using leather and stainless steel. We’ve participated in one Avant-Garde show, and more in the future.</span></div>

I discovered this hobby when I just kept trying and figured it out along the way. I create with an essence of the shore. If I have an idea when I begin my hunt for the beach glass it finds me in a way I cannot explain. Beach glass turned my hobby into a career and I love it. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I plan to open a physical shop on Bridge Street in Ashtabula, Ohio by 2020. My jewelry is also in the Millcreek Mall in Erie, PA at the Le Petit Jewelry And Antique store until the end of 2019. By 2024 I plan to have the physical shop booming while continuing to branch out into other markets, keeping the website up and doing shows still. My message is this: be a rare treasure amongst the waves. Just like every human every piece of beach glass created into my jewelry is unique, one of a kind and has an extraordinary history. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I have been a knitter, spinner and fiber artist for over 20 years.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I earned a small name for myself and supplemented the off-season by selling the hats and doing odds & ends sewing jobs for the local residents. I really began to invest in my craft once I moved back to the big city (Burlington Vermont) and was able to begin participating in craft shows and local shop events.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">When I picked up my first drop spindle in 2015 I fell IN LOVE with spinning. A year later I purchase my first wheel and began spinning in earnest. I love color and texture and these qualities are evident in my yarns and my finished accessories. I owe the majority of my success to the local craft shows I have done </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">now for the last 5 years in Cleveland Ohio. The Cleveland Bazaar and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Avant-Garde Arts and Craft Shows helped me to establish a name for </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">myself and have given me an amazing outlet to exhibit my works.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The Guarino Olive Oil represents family to me and family is very important to me. So through olive oil sales I support and help my family in Italy who, as farmers, have unique challenges due to climate conditions and their economy. I have worked for a variety of companies in new product development and marketing including Little Tikes, Fisher Price, American Greetings, British Petroleum and Summa Health. Those are all big companies but I have an entrepreneurial spirit too.</span></span></div>

We have done well over 100 shows and events over the years. Now, I have my youngest son who is 16 involved in the olive oil business going to shows with me. It's a great experience for him. Oh, and I have an MBA with a focus on entrepreneurship. So, it's just something I have always loved. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">For the last 4 years we have worked with our cousins in Sicily to bring the Guarino Extra Virgin Olive Oil to the U.S. The first time we tasted their olive oil during a visit to the farm in 2001 we fell in love with the flavor...we call it "the good stuff" and we couldn't find anything close to it in the U.S. We wanted more at home. Our cousins first shipped us a few bottles but soon others wanted a bottle. So our family in the U.S. all played a role in getting the olive oil packaged and imported. And it's here and we are sharing it others too. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I was born in Amish country – a place and time when all women learned how to sew along with many </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">other handworks. I am also an artist, currently working for American Greetings.

I have a big family with 8 siblings and my sisters are my best friends in the world.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 9pt;">It all really just started as wanting something to do because I couldn't paint or play an instrument so I thought I'd give knitting a try. And it quickly became a love for all things yarn, knitting needles, and hats hat hats! </span><span style="color: #26282a; font-size: 12px;"> It was less of a discovery and more trial and error. I love art and I love music but neither one was a talent I possessed and I knew I wanted to be able to create something with my hands and feel a sense of accomplishment and purpose. Knitting was one of the many things I worked down on my list and it was the one I loved and luckily really good at!</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;">It really just starts with me trying to write out a pattern for an idea that may have come to me or maybe I saw something while out shopping that I want to re-create. Sometimes I'll end up trying to work it out on my needles and it usually gets undone and redone several times. I always work with a cup of coffee and at least one blanket. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;"> I just want to always love creating. As long as the love is there I can see it growing and growing to become my full time job!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;"> My message is to always give time to yourself for self care. As humans we can all get burned out and stressed and not give ourselves enough time to relax. When I'm creating something I want people to be reminded that we all need time to slow down the fast paced parts of life. Sometimes you just need to wrap yourself up in something cozy and read that book you've been thinking about.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">We are No Rulz Art (or just No Rulz), a collaboration of artisans with and without special needs. We started as a summer art project when there wasn’t much to do for young adults and 12 years later we are working to make No Rulz everyone’s choice for socks, headbands, and accessories created with Dharma colors and our unique skills. TIE-DYE IS OUR FAVORITE COLOR!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Our focus is tie-dye socks and headbands, but we love to create baby wear, purses & handbags, beautiful neck ties, various styles of tops, and unbelievable leggings/YOGA pants. Our Dharma orders speak to what we do and what we have tried.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Tie-dye, like No Rulz, is “perfectly imperfect”! Art and color are only part of our inspiration, as pride, happiness, self-worth, the belief that everyone can contribute something, making ourselves and others happy (our stuff is fun), and of course success, are what drive No Rulz. We are all able and we DO!!! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been wood turning since September 2017. This will be my first Avant Garde art and craft show! </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Inspiration for my work comes from the outcome of the transfiguration of dead trees into exquisite pieces of art. The unexpectedness of how the wood grains and natural blemishes reveal themselves, and help me to create a unique piece every time. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I got into this hobby because we live on a larger tree lot and I had an older lathe. I wanted to use the word for something other than the fire pit. I was amazed at the outcomes, and how I so naturally took to it. That is how I discovered my talent.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal;">
My family and friends greatly encouraged me to sell my pieces, which had been only given as wedding, birthday, thank you gifts, and the like. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal;">My creative process involves choosing a piece of wood for the size and length for what I wish to make (bowl, candlestick, vase, lamp, etc.). I create based on the unique natural shape of the wood. If the bark is interesting, I leave it. If the grains are spectacular, I'll showcase those. The wood guides me, as much as I guide the wood. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal;">I will continue wood turning as long as I am able, as I enjoy this. I hope my pieces make people happy and give them a better appreciation of nature.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi there! My name is Edy Seaman and I am a native of Canton, Ohio.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been a maker of things for as long as I can remember. From scrap paper pompoms in the back of my parents printing shop to the lovely glass and metal jewelry I create now. My hands have to always be making something. My creative journey has led me in many directions but I always seem to end up back at personal adornment. <span style="color: #2d2829;">After owning Edybeady’s Bead Shoppe and Terra Potta Pottery Studio for seven years, I have returned to full time work in my studio, Long Way Home Studios.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My work is comprised of ideas, techniques and skills acquired over the past 35 years of creative exploration. My approach to jewelry at this point in my creative life is simple yet beautiful and easy to wear. Jewelry should not be high maintenance. The products shown in the photos are made using the techniques of lampworking, enameling and metal-smithing. I combine different materials and techniques in much of my work. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This Will be my second Avant-Garde Arts and Crafts show and I am really excited to participate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Miriam Hall from Emme's Zanny Plants...</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Miriam Hall and I absolutely love succulents! Science and nature have always fascinated me but plants are especially dear to me. Growing up in Latin America and having lived in several states in the US has allowed me to experience such a variety of plant life; going from the tropics of the Amazon and the Rainforest in Costa Rica to the desert areas of California and the beauty of the four seasons in the Midwest. The thing about succulents that is so amazing to me is their ability to stay alive through the harshest conditions. Recently my mom and dad were working in Brazil in the Sertão, a semi-arid region about 1.5 times larger than the state of Texas, and my dad sent me a picture of a cactus flower growing right out of the ground.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is my first Avant-Garde Show, in fact, its my first art and craft show ever. I’ve always enjoyed doing crafts, painting, drawing, crocheting, woodworking, etc. In 2017 my mother-in- law was given a succulent garden arrangement that was so unique and creative and that was when I got hooked! Shopping at thrift stores throughout the central Ohio area looking for containers that will highlight succulent arrangements has become quite an adventure that has become a whole family affair. I have no idea how long this journey will last but I look forward to every minute of it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am Bonnie Rubin, better known as Butterfly Bean and I love to live with wild abandon!! My life is </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">filled with family and good friends and sharing creativity is a passion of mine. I have been told that </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am free-spirited and adventurous. I love to dance, laugh, travel and sleep under the stars. My </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">clothes are colorful and so is my artwork. Color makes me happy and I never can pick a favorite. I </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">have always loved to doodle and mix patterns. Being an artist is truly my authentic self.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been in and out of crafting and craft shows all my life. I started selling hand-painted t-shirts </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">in college. Craft shows have always been my passion and go to in times of transition but it is now </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">going to be my primary source of income.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am inspired by colorful papers, nature, life reflections and making people happy. I have always been artistic, loved to doodle and do art in school. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Really, I discovered my talent from my doodles! To describe my creative process, sometimes I am frenetic; I see something I like and I scramble to make it! Other times I am methodic, other times it is purely organic and it just happens! In five years I'd like to be traveling around the country in my camper, doing craft shows.</span><br />

Hello! My name is Katie, I'm a free spirit and hippie at heart! I always look at the brighter side of things-my motto is-"it could always be worse."

I've been making my dreamcatchers for about 4-5 years now, but this will be my first craft show EVER. I'm so excited to share them with other people-and I hope they make everyone as happy as they make me. Each one I make is unique and one of a kind-the Halloween ones are my favorite though. The next step for my little business is an Etsy shop-can't wait to see you all! Never stop dreaming!</div>

<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Hi, I'm Sonja Jones, and I'm primarily a wildlife artist. Currently I live in the Cleveland area, but I've lived all over Ohio and the Midwest. We in the Midwest are so blessed with beautiful parks and nature areas, especially here in Cleveland. I love to draw inspiration from the wildlife that surrounds me here, often right in my backyard. </span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">I think nature is a place we can all go for solace and peace; and not just wildlife, but even our pets bring us that special kind of comfort.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I've been a painter for most my life, but in my earlier days it was houses that were my canvas - I started working in my parent's paint contracting business at age 14! So I guess that's where I developed my sense of color and fine line work. It was the Christmas gift of an art sampler set a few years back, however, that shrunk my canvas; and now the days feel empty if I'm not engaged in some sort of artistic project! </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24.5333px;">I work in acrylic, watercolor, and ink, and am experimenting with a variety of substrates. 'm excited to be showing my work, and I hope you'll stop by my booth to visit!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hi,
I'm Julie Blake, owner of Mae's Boutique. I discovered a passion for sewing
about 4 years ago as a creative outlet by making baby items for friends and
family. In January of this year I officially launched my own business and
website. It's been an amazing journey balancing a regular career, family and
owing a personal business. A big thank you to my family for their support and
chipping in to help! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Art...</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hi! My name is Barb Hubert and I've
been retired for about 5 years now. I took up watercolor to give me something
to do with myself, and I fell in love with art! After just 1 year with a
friend/teacher, I took off and now after only5 years and never painting a day
before that, have over 300+ original watercolor paintings, mixed media
paintings, plus prints of my paintings
and print blanks notecards. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I feel this is a gift that God has
given me, so I give back to Him! 40% of my profits go to help The Cleveland
Pregnancy Center or the Bible League Int'l. I love painting, using different
mediums, like real leaves, salt, saran wrap, and love to experiment! I am
inspired by all of nature around me and
I marvel at the works of God! I always, always have a painting in progress,
usually 2 or 3! You will find birds, animals, owls, landscape, children's art,
florals, modern and abstract art.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hi!
My name is Michelle! This is a second career for me, I started out as a
commercial interior designer. I would supply large corporate offices with
miles and miles of cubicles as well as other furniture. I have always
been baking, first as a hobby, took some classes and decided this is what I
wanted to do for a living. Took the leap to change careers found my first
commercial baking job shortly after leaving the design world. Learned so
much working there as well as a cake shop then had the opportunity to move on
to a higher volume bakery, Luna Bakery Café, where I eventually worked my
way up to Executive Pastry Chef. After working my way up, learning every
step of the way, I thought it was now time to launch my own baking
business! Thus the creation of Sweet Revolution!</span></div>

all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have several categories where we primarily concentrate our creative thought processes. They are repurposing vintage jewelry, broken china jewelry, sterling silver jewelry, and steampunk. A lot of our creations are a collaborative process. I'll start a design and Judy will add more defining features and vice versa. We truly enjoy what we do and are having tons of fun in the process.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I
was in the third grade, drawing on a piece of scrap cardboard, when my great
aunt (an accomplished artist) exclaimed “She’s an artist!” From that day forward I felt creatively validated
. Additionally, in the rural Amish
community where I spent my childhood, girls were expected to learn to sew. Thanks to my patient mother, it’s a gift for
which I’m ever grateful.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My name is Kim Gates and I am the owner of ‘My
Honey Bee Sign Shop’. I create handmade decorative signs from repurposed wood.
I am the wife of a military veteran and mother of 4 children, one of which has
special needs. By having my sign shop, working from home, and making my own
hours, I am blessed to be able to attend all the doctor appointments my son
requires, without it interfering with a normal 9-5 job. When I am not making
signs, I like to design cakes for family and friends, dabble in photography, and
camp with my family.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I have been making signs since last summer but I
have been crafting my whole life. </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I’ve been told that I have never met a stranger.
I just love meeting new people and making friends and I have found that craft
shows are a perfect way for me to do this. I have a bubbly personality and I
hope that shines through when I first meet someone but more importantly I hope
it is reflected in my work.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am inspired to create signs because it makes
me happy to design custom pieces for others. I know that they won’t be able to buy
these one-of-a-kind signs in any store. When I see their reactions to the
finished products it reminds me of why I love doing this. My signs do not look
like they have come off an assembly line at a manufacturing facility. They are
truly each unique and all made with love. I have also realized that painting
helps me to relax and relieve stress. It is like my own version of an adult
coloring book. ;)</span></span><br />

<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made a campfire sign for the campground I was
staying at with my family and friends last summer. My friend encouraged me to
make more and sell them to other campers. I wasn’t yet convinced that I was
good enough to sell them. Then in the fall I made reversible scarecrow/snowman
signs for myself and that same friend. She starting showing others the sign and
created a buzz. I kept hearing from her that if I made more, people would be
interested in buying them. This finally is what encouraged me to start making
several different signs to sell and that is when ‘My Honey Bee Sign Shop’ was
born.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">If I see something that I like either online </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">or in a craft store, I look at it differently
than some people. I think about how it is made and how I can put my own little
spin on it. And if I really like the idea then I am compelled to make it. I
also love having several projects going at once. Can you tell that I am
impatient?? Making multiple signs in various stages allows me to work on them
simultaneously.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My five year goal.. I would love to have a permanent spot for my
sign shop where I can display my signs and help grow my business. I believe
that how you display your crafts at a show is almost just as important as the
actual craft. I want to create a fun space for my customers that will get them
excited about my sign shop and want to tell others about it. I believe the best
type of advertising is by word of mouth.</span></span><br />

My degree is in fine art, but I work full time in health care technology. Activities outside of the regular workday have always focused on filling that need to create!

I first learned about dyeing textiles in college and also while an art teacher at a school for the deaf in Ghana, when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer there from 1999-2001.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">My daughter and I started tie-dyeing about 4 years ago, when she was just 4 years old. Just this year, I decided it would be a great experience for Mallory and me to expand our hobby into a business. </span><span style="background-color: white; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">I am always experimenting with different media. I paint, I knit, I took up ceramics a few years ago... But with tie-dyeing, it was the comments of others upon seeing an article of clothing we'd dyed together that got me thinking this might be something to expand.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have been painting since i was a little boy. I watched Bob Ross on Sunday mornings, and learned to immulate his techniques. I didnt truly come into my own unique expression until high school where i developed a successful portrait business. I stopped painting due to illness in 2004 and only recently started painting again and selling my work online in 2014.</span><br style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">I feel that i am inspired by God, and a lot of my work is prophetic in nature, meaning it captures and extends the heart of God to the world through a pure artistic filter. These expressions tend to be biblical in nature as I am strongly inspired during worship and in the presence of God.</span><br style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCCwsdEGfx90esxTtSfx6nJuofiM1_WvEsBVTgnrVTAA2LxnXN7e393hTUhO4icC5z8c6ybfJLhtd_EALadzj0icsRsQ6D08rRHQscwqwXyfRO6lUQgp9uhPrseGe3PATkxKVv0bJ7xoQ/s1600/pic2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCCwsdEGfx90esxTtSfx6nJuofiM1_WvEsBVTgnrVTAA2LxnXN7e393hTUhO4icC5z8c6ybfJLhtd_EALadzj0icsRsQ6D08rRHQscwqwXyfRO6lUQgp9uhPrseGe3PATkxKVv0bJ7xoQ/s400/pic2.jpg" width="400" /></a><br style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">I often visualize a finished project before i completely dedicate myself to conceptualizing an idea and then bringing said idea to life. Because of this, i view my process as more of a translating of images and ideas into sketch, capturing the inspiration of the moment, later expanding my study to a finished work on canvas. </span><br style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">Other times I like to listen to worship music while i paint in a more spontaneous fashion, finding most of my brush strokes and gestures being formed by the rythm, praise, and dance. This method of painting is equally essential as part of my Craft is live painting in church worship settings.</span><br style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQhfAol4a8jq46wWUboy-eHFZWy3irQ-P5rTnaKIVIelWUhwbSkpGdZA7Iane4K_nTt55EVB70ZPOqCDKKnDKy0ycNPb4vsykx1ASdC_g7hIrXdiz5mBXK5uxleFyrk5of3ORbY7hIkQ/s1600/pic3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQhfAol4a8jq46wWUboy-eHFZWy3irQ-P5rTnaKIVIelWUhwbSkpGdZA7Iane4K_nTt55EVB70ZPOqCDKKnDKy0ycNPb4vsykx1ASdC_g7hIrXdiz5mBXK5uxleFyrk5of3ORbY7hIkQ/s320/pic3.jpg" width="320" /></a><br style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">My five year goal...

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am an INTJ personality. I have an insatiable curiosity. I'm a jack of all trades and master of none. I have around 100 hives of honeybees in the Central Ohio area. I also grow hardneck garlic and have 1/4 acre of thornless blackberries that I sell at farmers markets. </span></div>

I intend to make reclaimed wood shelves, hand hewn beam fireplace mantels, and other crafts. I like being able to salvage the 150 year old materials and give it new life, rather than seeing it all end up in a landfill.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How I got into my hobby... 20 years ago, I got a second job helping build folk art Noah's Arks for the Millwood Toy Company. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_461518761" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">20 years later</span></span>, I still cut out all the animals for the arks on my scroll saw.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Much of my woodworking skills are a direct result of Barry Grosscup's influence at the Millwood Toy Company.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got into beekeeping when I was working as a machinist. A co-workers dad had a stroke and was unable to take care of his bees anymore. The co-worker asked me if I would be interested in some bees, and the rest is history.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For craft ideas, I do tons of Google searches, check out Pinterest and Etsy, and I also go to craft and home decor shows to get ideas too. I also look at what reclaimed and salvaged materials I have, and then try to figure out what to do with it all.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Five years from now I'll still be producing honey <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_461518763" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">in 5 years</span></span>, and hope to have a farm market store at my property. I am going to have enough reclaimed lumber from the church I am dismantling to do crafts for the next 50 years.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The message behind my work is that there is no bee-pocalypse. There is no danger of bees going extinct. We have more hives of honeybees in America now than we have in the past 30 years. Don't believe the sensationalist tabloid propaganda the media feeds you about all the bees dying. There are many successful beekeepers doing great, but good news is not a good news story. The media finds the bad beekeepers with the sob stories, and portrays it as the entire industry.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have over 100 beekeeping videos on YouTube, with over 1 million views. <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.youtube.com/user/TheOhioCountryboy&source=gmail&ust=1489980524243000&usg=AFQjCNH0TbO75iFVrqyPHQvHRAgcwAD_Yg" href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheOhioCountryboy" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/<wbr></wbr>TheOhioCountryboy</a>.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi, my name is Barb Hubert
and I am a retired Cat Scan Tech for over 5 years now and I was lost!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was looking for a purpose and hobby after I
retired, and I thought I would try watercolor, because I’ve always loved these
paintings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After just 1 year with a friend/teacher,
I took off and now after only 5 years and never painting a day before that,
have over 200 + original watercolor paintings, plus prints of my paintings and
print blank notecards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel this is a
gift that God has given me, so I give back to Him!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>40% of my profits go to help, The Cleveland
Pregnancy Center or the Bible League Int’l.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jo Ann Carrier-Lawrence is a bead maker and jewelry designer from Ohio. In 2008, Jo was bitten by the lamp work torch on a whim. Purchasing a small start up glass bead kit, she began teaching herself to make glass beads. These were used to finish her hand crocheted necklaces. As Jo learned various techniques her bead world exploded and she began showing her work at local art shows.She has studied with bead artists and followed tutorials from hundreds of artists around the world in her desire to create beads that touch on an organic and natural look.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I began experimenting with jewelry making when I was 10 years old. Every summer I would visit family in Michigan and I would spend time with my older cousin creating jewelry using seed beads. I have amazing memories of visiting a bead store that had me hooked on the jewelry making scene. My creative process comes from being inspired by nature. When I was younger I collected rocks and gems and loved to explore caves. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every piece of my jewelry incorporates a natural or semi-precious stone which reflects my love for nature. My jewelry can best be described as having a bohemian/ free spirited style, which inspired my Etsy shop name, The Haute Bohemian. I really enjoy creating jewelry that is one of a kind and hope to continue for years to come. My ultimate goal is to learn to solder so I can create rings. I have several of my items located at Salty Not Sweet on West 25th Street in Ohio City. I hope you like what you see and stop by to see me at the next Avant-Garde Art Craft Show! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started book folding about a year ago after I purchased one at an out of state craft show. The one I purchased was the word “music” and when I saw it I just thought it would be a great gift for a friend who loves books and loves music. I was hooked on trying to figure out how to make these myself. I know many people, like myself, who love the smell of books and being in libraries and with the ereaders now, books may be a thing of the past. I thought it was such an interesting concept of creating something special using these books for that unique gift for someone. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">What inspires me.. </span>I have a kind of handful of things
that each seem to have their own season. I am often inspired by books of multiple genres. I
think I am most inspired by really well written (and quirky) fiction. It
doesn’t matter from what era. I am also inspired by music.When I started making art intensely as a
kid, Alternative Rock was really my staple (like many pre-adolescents I’m sure). I still love
Alternative Rock but also have recently taken an interest in all sorts of music, from Classic Rock to
Blues and Jazz and even EDM. Finally, my spiritual life and practices are a huge inspiration
and a huge motivation to continue working.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How I got into my craft.. I don’t know if I was ever not into
it…there were always art supplies around as a kid and I was constantly drawing. When I entered
high school it just seemed totally apparent to me that I’d go on to some sort of career in
the arts, which I am blessed to have done.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My process is somewhat strange in
that in some aspects it is unchanging and yet in other ways it fluctuates. My ideas always seem to
grow out of times of quiet- the medium of how I address that time of silence changes from
prayer, to reflection in journaling, to reading. Once I have an idea, I will sometimes go at it all
at once with the camera or on the canvas, just to see what will happen. Other times, I will
reflect on it further, often in a sketchbook. Regardless, in the end, when I do go to create a piece, I
still end up just exploring, playing, and letting the piece create itself. For example, I may have
the idea to shoot the Metro parks in the Winter. Though to start I will have some semblance
of a plan and intention, when I get there I just shoot away at whatever I find is remotely
intriguing. Working in digital allows me to get away with taking 700 shots in one trip. Then, in
the editing process, I decide which shots merit further editing or are worthwhile of being
considered a final piece. This process has allowed me to shoot a variety of wildlife that I
think I would have ignored otherwise in trying to stick to a rigid plan or firm idea.</span></div>

My husband and I have a blended family, our children ranging in ages 17-28, and we have 2 grandchildren. I have been teaching for 24 years in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, the last 5 being in Kindergarten! I enjoy many outdoor activities such as paddleboarding, bicycling, and gardening, camping. I also enjoy playing my guitar and singing.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Any craft I have ever dabbled in has started with the idea of creating gifts for others. I have discovered how therapeutic it is for me, so that is a win-win! This year I wanted to gift my family and friends with something that might bring them comfort and rest- life can be hard sometimes, and it's easy to lose balance (this is where my first two products, the lavender eye pillow and the foot scrub, came from). As far as creating natural skin products- I love knowing exactly what is in the products I am using, and the scent of lavender is my absolute favorite. I can testify to all the benefits research has shown about lavender. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">29Design. is our fun and calming jewelry therapy. Copper is
a pure metal in nature, #29 on the atomic periodic table, and working with our
copper wire has a life of its own and does what it does. Each piece is unique without being too
serious. Worn casually as well as fitting into formal settings, each piece is
lovingly designed and inspired by the moment.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are two retired healthcare co-workers that have been
reunited in retirement and love of nature and jewelry. We have been doing this
for less than a year, and this is our very first Avant-Garde Art and Craft show. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our inspiration has
always been in the beauty of copper, our love of jewelry and nature. One of us
got into the craft by volunteering at the local art gallery and the other soon
fell right in by her side. One of us discovered our talent in a class, making
gifts for others and the other has a different perspective on the jewelry and a
match was made with both being different and developing changes. Our creative
processes are different enough to promote a growth that is never stagnate and
in 5 years see ourselves making spectacular copper pieces, yet always with a
unique flair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Encouraged by my friends and family, my hobby turned into a business specializing in embroidered towels and throws. My towels and throws make perfect gifts for any occasion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Being in the gift business for many years, I am well aware of how special a personalized gift can be. I have many designs and can change thread colors to match any decor. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BAM Art Studios is a husband and wife collaborative effort! I do all of the art work and my husband, Lee, creates the gallery quality prints and cards. BAM Art Studios began offering prints of my art in 2015 and began presenting at art and craft shows in the spring of 2016. This will be my first Avant-Garde show!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Inspired by nature and authentic spirituality, my art combines patterns and color combinations that appeal to both ancient rhythms and modern sensibilities. My art is characterized by detailed patterns, vibrant colors, and bold composition.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My artistic process began as a child with my observations of nature and cultural adaptations. I continue to draw on these inspirations as well as being influenced by spiritual and mythical themes. My current work is primarily in archival pigment inks on recycled archival papers and Bristol. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Kimberly Shuck Cowan from Kimberly Shuck Cowan Photography...</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As a photographer, I am self-taught, learning my craft through personal study, research and countless hours of practical experience behind the camera. I reignited my passion for photography during a year-long home renovation project in 2009. It became my therapy and sparked a new career direction that I had yearned for. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I continually work to refine my technical acumen while staying true to my interest in photographing what might otherwise be seen as mundane or commonplace in ways that evoke an emotional response or stir sensation within the viewer. Each moment of encounter - with object, time, place, or person - is a choice that reflects who I am as an observer.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I love most about photography is the demand it puts on me to constantly be intrigued by new imagery, to create different interpretations, and to handle the unexpected. It's also a joyful way of expanding my connection to people.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I bought some jewelry tools and gemstones back in late May 2015 and decided to try a new hobby, I had no idea it would lead to the amount of fun and enjoyment I have had over the last year.

Some of the cabochons I cut and polish myself and I try to keep a broad variety of different gemstones in my offerings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been sewing since I was a little girl. I learned from my mom and grandma who both loved sewing and would make quilts, stuffed animals, holiday dresses, Halloween costumes, and more. I started to entertain the idea that I could turn this into a small business when I have one of my baby bibs to a friend. When I saw the way her family reacted to something that I made, it gave me the confidence to really put myself out there.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Jeff Janosik from Chatham Leather Works...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started leather crafting when I was in high school almost 40 years ago. My older brother made some belts, and I just sort of picked it up from there. I had my first commissioned piece when I was 17. One of my brother's college friends asked me to make him a tri-fold wallet with the cover of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" cut on the back. He paid me $15 for it, which, in 1979, felt like a million bucks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am passionate about my work. About twice each month, I have a presentation about antique buttons. Last year, I spoke at eight public libraries. I have also presented to historical societies, garden clubs, quilt groups, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm a jewelry artist working in chainmail, stone cutting, and silver work. I graduated with my Bachelors in Fine Arts with a degree in jewelry design in 2010 and started making woven-wire and chainmail jewelry shortly after. Currently, I'm taking classes on gemstone identification, and hope to get my Graduate Gemologist degree in 2017. After that, I plan to work in the gem and jewelry industry and keep my design and craft work on the side as a hobby. This will be one of many Avant-Garde shows I've participated in!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I believe creative output requires creative input. I spend all day every day listening to music, reading books, seeing art and craft in my</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> calendar, from my friends, and on the web. When I get an idea, it's sort of random because it's come together from dozens of stimuli. If I can, I'll draw it out, but I've found that sometimes the best way to work is to experiment with the material itself, and working out the details as you go. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I believe somewhat in the idea that "the clothes make the man." The jewelry you choose to wear sends a message about who you are to anyone who sees you. I'm making the kind of jewelry that I like to wear, and I'm trying to do so with materials at a cost level that someone like me can afford to wear. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Simone from Simi Lindsay...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have always been very interested in arts and crafts and was inspired by another candle maker in Pennsylvania. I wanted to create candles with unique scents and with the environment in mind. Simi Lindsay was founded in 2015, and this will be the company's third Avant-Garde show!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All of the candles are made with 100% natural eco say wax, a natural wooden wick or 100% cotton wick, and high quality fragrance oils, assuring you receive a cleaner burning, longer lasting, richly scented soy candle. Additionally, all of our soaps are sulfate free and free of color. We also offer unique home decor that is hand-painted with chalk paint and other mediums.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My creative process involves hand-selecting each fragrance and developing candles that are completely handcrafted. My message is to create clean, eco-friendly products that people can enjoy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Jan from Elegant Egg Creations...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">45 years ago, a family member of mine saw an egg artistry show at the Holiday Inn Airport in Pennsylvania. She was so enthused by the idea, that she decided the two of us had to explore it! There happened to be an advertised class held in Lorain, teaching this art. The first egg I made was a decoupage egg. I then learned how to create diorama scene's inside of the eggs. This will be my first Avant-Garde show!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Through the years, I have taken many seminars to learn new techniques and applications. In terms of my creative process, most of the time, I sketch a basic design of my thoughts to start, then I build on it. I like to do some decoupage items as they can be used in their entirety or portions of more intricate designs. I also enjoy pulling other craft techniques into this artistry, such as oil, watercolor, and acrylic painting. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Egg art is a constant growing and educational process. There is always something new to learn and observe. I would love to have the opportunity to help future egg artists learn this faberge style of egg art form. The message behind my work is that your imagination is unlimited, and that you can be a collector and a creator. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm Monica and I am half of a mother-daughter duo with a love for sweets. Our duo has been in the kitchen baking, cooking, and creating goodies made with love with our moms and aunts since we were young.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The other half of the duo, Sandy, took a candy making class, and I have taken several cake decorating classes over the years.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No matter what event we are baking for, we love to incorporate a special item for an event into our treats. We create by trying new things, like recipes or designs. We have tried many different ideas that seemed perfect in our minds, but didn't work out as well in real life. Luckily, we have great taste testers around us! In five years, we see ourselves doing this as a full-time business!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello! :) My name is Megan and I have been involved with craft shows with my mom for over ten years. When I was younger, I used to help her at craft shows—selling everything from delicious cookies and chocolate goodies to personalized children’s books. This will be my very first craft show selling my own products and I am very excited for the experience. Even as a child, I loved to create and design items to give as gifts to others. I find inspiration through everyday experiences and through my mom who motivates and encourages me to pursue my passions.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love to recycle and repurpose old items—wine crate coffee tables, shipping pallet bed frames, paint/make lights out of old bottles, jars, etc.—so a lot of my craft is focused on returning beauty into an otherwise unusable item. I also picked up the hobby of knitting when I was in dental hygiene school (to help practice hand dexterity and precision of meticulous and small details) and fell in love! I also enjoy painting/drawing and have been involved in this field of art for many years. I love for my paintings to evoke moods/emotions through the colors I use and I gravitate towards painting forest and night time scenery. The ultimate message I hope to convey with my work is to find the unconventional beauty in people or objects you come into contact with across your daily routine. I also love the holidays and hope my work will give others some warm and cozy holiday spirit as well!</span></div>

<div>
<div style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ohio is home base. I was born and raised in Northern Ohio, but an incurable case of wanderlust mixed with being a risk taker has given me multiple addresses in 6 states. So home to me is about the people in my life over buildings and things. </span></div>

<div style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I do not work in one material or category; hence the name Random Studio. I merge and couple elements to create three-dimensional assemblage artwork. Releasing things from their original function and meaning, I transform them into a new context—one of artistic expression. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started dabbling in my craft about six years ago after my career crashed with the economy.

I have no idea what sparks my need to be creativity. I suppose it’s just a part of my DNA. There is something deep within that pushes me to make art in one form or another. On a less philosophical level, I am inspires mainly by objects. An item catches my eye, almost calling me to it. At times I will know instantly what will grow from this piece of inspiration, while other times it will sit on a shelf nagging and taunting me to figure how to transform into more then it’s simple self. </div>

<div style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’ve always been drawn to visual art. Photography in high school and college, followed by my career in graphic design and advertising, and now my own artwork. But how did I discover my talent...I don’t think it was ever a conscience realization. I just allowed myself to embrace being creative. I think there is creativity and talent in everyone, it’s a matter of letting go, taking a chance, and doing it for yourself without concern of what others think. </span></div>

<div style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How I describe my creative process, random! Random and chaotic. I start with a element or two that call to me. From there it is a stream of undefinable creativity...digging through my inventory of things searching for companion items. This exploration typically leads to the start of another project...or two...or three. I can easily have 4 or more pieces in progress that were conceived from seeing an item in a new light or adjacent to another object. My work space almost always looks ransacked and in a state of chaotic confusion (which drives my husband insane) but allows my mind to open up to the call of the materials around me. </span></div>

My five year goal, my vision is to be a full-time artist with a studio that doesn’t double as a guest bedroom. Within a couple years I would like to have my art regularly shown available in a gallery or even in my own store. A big goal is to be a featured artist at an opening. </div>

The elements I use vary from handmade to manufactured with the majority coming from free piles, resale shops, the garbage, garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales, or hand-me-downs from friends and family. Items that have lived their first life for many, many years and others a very short time; but the components used in my artwork had a previous life. I rescue all types of items to be used in my art.</div>

However, there are a few pieces that “just are” because the elements within demanded to be together and I thought they made something that looked cool or interesting.</span></div>

<b>Meet Shawn Sweeney...</b></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: black;">
<div style="color: #222222; line-height: normal;">
Tell us a bit about yourself.. I have been knitting for about 15 years, though it has only been in the last five or so that I have discovered my passion for it. I started designing my own items about two years ago. I love to play with color and texture, and have fun testing patterns for other designers. Sometimes I follow a pattern, and other times I let the yarn guide me in what it wants to become. I love to work on custom orders to help find the right yarn, and the right project to make someone happy. One of my favorite projects I made was for a friend who told me she can't wear scarves or cowls because she feels like her head is too small. I made her a cowl in a color that looks great on her and scaled it down to work with her petite frame and smaller head - her look of surprise and pleasure was all the thanks I needed.</div>

<div>
What inspires me to create... Color, texture, and a desire to continue to learn new things. I love to play with color - I love loud, crazy colorful yarns, but I can also appreciate the beauty of a neutral. Knitting is basically made up of knit and purl stitches, and texture is created by the way you manipulate and put the stitches together - the possibilities are almost limitless. One small change can fundamentally change the way the fabric looks, and that is pretty exciting to me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got into my craft through my Mom - she has been knitting for many years and finally convinced me to give it a try about 15 years ago. She has been a huge source of support and encouragement.</div>

How I discovered my talent.. I think my passion for knitting came before I discovered I had a talent. I loved and and decided to learn as much as I could about it. I decided to do some test knitting for other designers and discovered I really loved to knit and to learn new techniques and to experiment with color and different yarns.</div>

<div>
My creative process... Sometimes my creativity comes out of necessity - like the time I wanted to knit a pair of fingerless mitts to go with a cowl I had previously made for someone. I couldn't find a pattern I liked, so I created one of my own to speak to the cowl, but not match it 100%. Other times I see something in my head and just start knitting until I create something to match my vision. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Message behind my work... Knitting is something I love to do, and I really enjoy sharing that passion with others.</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We both have been in the kitchen baking, cooking & creating goodies from love with our Mom’s and Aunt’s since we were young. This will be our 6th Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show! We have always loved to be in the kitchen creating sweet treats. In her 20’s, Sandy took a candy making class. Monica has also taken cake decorating classes through the years. After our classes, we were hooked. We are creative by trying something new, i.e. a new recipe or design. We have tried many different ideas that sounded perfect in our heads. But, did not quite workout how we expected in real life. Luckily, we have great taste testers around us.</span></div>

<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi, I am Joanne Righi, owner of
The Jewelry Bird. I am pleased to be a first time seller at the Avant-Garde
Arts & Crafts show.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default">
<br /></div>
<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started making jewelry in
2009. Some co-workers had participated in a jewelry-making team-building
exercise, and I was impressed with their results; I knew I could do that too! I
started making small-scale monochromatic and neutral necklaces to wear at my
corporate job. I soon realized those pieces were nice but didn't represent me;
they just fit in to the corporate culture. I started creating designs that were
bold in both size and color—and I haven<span lang="FR">’</span>t looked
back. I hope my designs inspire women to proudly wear bold and colorful
accessories.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lKN-7Dh1CinU__gG9vhaUVTsVJI7ER_hFzhKw_IK_R1wP2QG5ycIa_vc0gmWTmGYwwkm-uBI4OVUoRyAyLOFTbglV9G7gcds0ZJxoGDcjupScYPGWrLNWjGKS2KYjmHUVSSp5Vd69Gs/s1600/pic4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lKN-7Dh1CinU__gG9vhaUVTsVJI7ER_hFzhKw_IK_R1wP2QG5ycIa_vc0gmWTmGYwwkm-uBI4OVUoRyAyLOFTbglV9G7gcds0ZJxoGDcjupScYPGWrLNWjGKS2KYjmHUVSSp5Vd69Gs/s400/pic4.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For me, the creative process
often starts when I least expect it—when I<span lang="FR">’</span>m birdwatching or digging around in my flower garden. Inspired by the
bold colors in nature, I often start my jewelry with a single colorful bead.
From there, I let the beads—and my initial inspiration—<span lang="NL">guide</span> me. For example, on a Saturday morning birdwatching
trip, the colors of an Easter Bluebird lingered in my mind; the males are a
brilliant royal blue on the back and head, and warm red-brown on the breast.I
made a beaded necklace with these very colors. It was special, then, that this
piece was one my first sales.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default">
<br /></div>
<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I often know with the addition
of the last bead whether I got the piece just right; other times, I may let it
percolate for a few days, sometimes making small tweaks, and others, starting
from scratch. One thing is certain: each completed design brings me joy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have great memories of my
mother teaching my four sisters and me to sew, crochet, needlepoint, embroider,
and knit. These crafts I learned as a child were are all done from patterns, I
never tried to design, I was just following directions. When I started making
jewelry, selecting beads unlocked my creativity, I suddenly felt freed to make
my own designs, limited only by my imagination. Now, I choose beads not based
on the directions I<span lang="FR">’</span>m reading but on color, shape,
finish, texture, and sometimes just a gut feeling that they are what a
particular piece demands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default">
<br /></div>
<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I live in Strongsville with my
husband Jack and our two cats. I retired early from a 35-year career in
accounting and have been pursuing new passions ever since.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My husband and I currently
volunteer with a local organization that provides food, clothing, and housing
to those in need; and we go birdwatching when we can.</span></div>

each year, such as the Avant-Garde shows.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have always had an interest in art and in high school I was in a advanced
Commercial Art class with the intent of going on to pursue that avenue. I did
work in the field for a short time until I got married. I have raised two children and have been married for 37 years. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I thought since art has always been an interest of mine I might return to it someday, but God had other plans. I have a wonderful son who has both a learning disorder and severe seizures so returning to work was not an option. I go to college with him so he will be able to get his degree.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Over
the years I dabbled in different mediums. I spent some time creating jewelry for
a while before painting. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since I am always
looking for new things to try and explore I thought I would try my hand at Alcohol
painting. I found it to be very relaxing and creative at the same time. You can
either let the ink flow at its own pace, or manipulate it to do somewhat of
what you would like it to do. However, the best feeling is that of being able
to goof up and start all over without feeling so guilty. Its awesome!</span></div>
