Winter crafts

I guess I want to feel warmer- I have been making all sorts of things with upcycled wool sweaters lately:

A tiny purse I made for my husband's grandma who is turning 90.

A fabric cuff bracelet. I need Spring!

Beehive Bazaar

We are joining forces with the Beehive Bazaar this winter to bring you our brand of ridiculous crafts and strange artwork. As the peeps at the Beehive Bazaar put it:
The Beehive Bazaar Winter 2010 event will be held at the following times:

• Thursday, December 2, 9PM – 12AM
• Friday, December 3, 10AM – 10PM
• Saturday, December 4, 10AM – 8PM

In response to innumerable requests from our shoppers and crafters we’re bringing the show back to the Women’s Center in Provo–it’s oh so retro.
Hope to see you there!

New business card for autumn

We have been  making our own business cards for awhile now. It is really funny when we put them all over the booth and folks want to buy them!

Baby shoes

Been making a gabillion baby shoes lately:

More Provo Farmer's Market

The Provo Farmer's Market is always fun- Lot's of good food, interesting people watching, and of course, your Friendly Neighborhood Three Penny Market:

Matchbox Shrines

I love making art out of found objects. There is nothing so satisfying as taking something that is not worth anything and turning it into something beautiful or fun. Lately I have been making little shrines out of matchboxes. You can get a package of ten matchboxes at Wally World for less than a dollar. Add a little paper, glue and paint and make something more than the sum of its parts.   

These are fun to make for your friends- you can put a pair of earrings or some candies in one for a sweet little gift. I like to make them wearable, because that is how I roll:

You can add a pin or a even make a necklace:

I used old earrings and added broken jewelry pieces to this one.

Another fun application is to make a wallet sized picture frame:
