I’ve got banners and pillows and clutches and wallets and posters! This year I’m also making a few dolls and felt stuffed animals.
Visit me here.

I like to make cute things! I’ll have plenty of colorful felt and ribbon headbands and hair clips for infants, children, and adults. I particularly love bows and flowers, but I also have some new cameo style hair clips as well as a few illustrated prints and paper goods. Visit me here.

Inspired by variety, Dallas never makes the same thing twice. She loves to sew and embroider; she dabbles in crocheting, she beads and makes jewelry. So hurry, hurry, hurry, step right up and get your ticket for the imagination contortionist and all of her wonderful oddities. Easily Amused gifts are intended for the frequently exuberant, the blatantly giddy, the often nostalgic and, of course, the easily amused. If you miss the attention to detail of yesteryear Dallas is your gal; her one of a kind creations are great to have and share.

I am always on the look out for something new and fresh. If I can’t find it, I make it. From my little girl “Bloomin’ wrist” bracelets, to diaper wallets, “Scrap Wrap” headbands, and lots more fun trinkets to make you feel like throwing a party everyday.

I’m a fan of fabric, and I love giving previously used fabrics new form and a new life. I’m turning beautifully colored (but no longer fashionable) wool sweaters into jewelry, headbands, bags, and other fun wearables and accessories.

I make to-die-for salsa, shadow box art, felted coin purses, crochet hooks carved out of branches and knitting needles turned from local wood.

A slightly obsessive love for color, texture, and interesting fabrics drove me to start sewing. An equally consuming fixation for cute (but pricey) hair pieces drove me start making them myself. I started with felt and chiffon, and then ribbons and beads and appliques crept in. And the rest is history.

I’ve been making lots of things with felt. I’m working on a series of baby bell balls. I’ve been cleaning, dyeing and carding wool from some sheep in Provo. I also have been painting new birds and will have new prints, and hopefully a couple editions of a Prove Zine done by then!

We are two persons looking for ways to communicate through the beauty of silkscreen. We make posters, tote bags, journals, sometimes t-shirts. We just started to work with felt and we love it so far!

I pretty much have crafting ADD so I make a lot of different
things. My husband, Brad, does a lot of it too (he has paintings and
furniture too, but they are pretty big). He does a lot of the felting
and wall hanging construction.

Gentry is an painter, crafter and owner of the Frosty Darling Boutique in downtown Salt Lake City. Her colorful and kitschy wares include bottle cap earrings, felt brooches, plush squirrels and vintage fabric aprons. Her focus this year has been a series of small paintings of 70’s and 80’s television shows and a collection of accessories and housewares celebrating her favorite state, Utah!

Each of my items incorporate a vintage yet fresh feel that compliment and play off of each other beautifully. Hand felted pin cushions made of roving wool in vintage/funky containers make for one of a kind pieces that any crafter will love. For those who prefer to buy handmade, my jewelry is a combination of old as well as new, creating fun, original pieces everyone will love! Combinations of brass, copper and other natural materials combine to create authentic, multi-dimensional pieces. I also make hand felted earrings, vintage hair pins, brooches, and more! Everyone is bound to find something that screams “I’m oddly, uniquely, YOU!”

This year I am making lots of framed paintings of fish and birds. I also have made a series of wooden bird puzzles (which I don’t have a photo of at the moment). I will have some letterpress items with my art on them as well, and hopefully some little felted animals.

Mike and Alma Loveland are a husband and wife team who work together on various projects. Alma is more on the graphic art end, Mike is more on the traditional art end. Together they offer a fun, functional, and eclectic mix of products.

I like to make things that are fun to play with, fun to wear, fun to use, fun to look at. Lately I’ve been making papier mache sculptures- mostly little deer. I’ve been designing paper dolls and crafting felt pictures on baby clothes. I have letterpressed notecards and some delectable edibles as well.

Using felt and vintage fabrics, I make a variety of colorful items such as stuffed animals, pillows and accessories. In my work I walk the line between bold and fun and comforting and nostalgic. Lately I’ve been making kitschy Utah souvenirs. Provo Pride! Visit me!

Nifty Kidstuff started on a whim when I was just fifteen. Now, I’m at the Savannah College of Art and Design majoring in Fibers. All of my designs are my own originals and all of the products are constructed by me and my mother. We strive to make toys that are unique, colorful, educational, and encourage pretend play! Visit me!

Coco Sailore is a collection of baby and toddler shirts styled and personalized to showcase each unique baby. All of the designs are created and sewn by hand.

This winter I’ll be bringing shirts from the new Pirate and Holiday lines.

I love creating stuff and I like sewing stuff! I don’t like using patterns so I make up my own. That means that every thing I make is unique in it’s own way. I make bags, embroiderd kids shirts, pencil/notebook holders, aprons, hot pads, place mats and some stuffed animals. Some are repurposed from old clothes or thrifted fabrics and some are not. I think handmade is way better than manufactured! Visit me at www.radseams.com and www.radpots.com.

I love to create cute, affordable accessories for the home and for the person. I love to use new and vintage fabric. All items are lovingly made with an extreme attention to detail.  Visit me!

This year I hope to make:
-wallets
-makeup pouches
-lavender birds
-pillows
-quilts
-ponytail holders
-pillowcase dresses

Gentry Blackburn is a painter, crafter and owner of the kooky-cute
boutique Frosty Darling where she shows her work along side other local
artists. With a degree in painting she focused on her fine art and worked
at the library until she started making button earrings and hand-painted
throw pillows. Then came forays into knitting, sewing and a giant leap
into retail to showcase all these new wonders. She was awarded, “Best
Crafty Lady” in Salt Lake City Weekly’s 2007 Artys issue and keeps on
truckin’ with her bright color vintage carnival style.

This holiday collection will feature felt finger puppets, button earrings,
throw pillows, vintage fabric aprons, stuffed animals, and small
paintings. I’m really excited about the super furry blue squirrels I’ve
been working on!

Little girl dresses with fabric I tie-dyed with sweet matching belts and snap on adornments. Letterpressed greeting cards that say “hi” in purple ink, and have a cool morrocan inspired pattern. Felt cakes and felt gingerbread house toys. Mini paintings with fabric and other collage incorporated. Wooden dolls a la paper doll style. Visit me here…

My stuff is mostly kid/baby stuff with a few other things like tote bags and sachets. I am going to be making some pillow covers (with pillows) as well. I like hand sewing felt appliques (mostly animals) onto onesies and tees. Also the felt watches and bracelets with velcro closure. Why… I love being creative, it is a high for me to make something I am proud of. Visit me here…

I am Candace. I live with my young son in downtown Salt Lake. I grew up carving drawings in my mother’s dining room table and making miniature farms in the backyard with twigs and paper animals. For two years I was a pastry chef for the Bridge Cafe; funneling all my creativity in to vegan baked goods. I recently achieved a degree in graphic design and continue to create all kinds of stuff from home; selling it online through etsy or at the Women’s Art Center. I find inspiration in the books my son and I read together or in the nature we find during walks we take outside.

As of late I have a huge fascination withhistorical fashion, and small bits of it are winding their way in to myworks as I learn and discover more. I’ve always appreciated flora and
fauna and it seems more birds find their homes among my portraits than anything else (at least for the time being). I’ve got my heart set on creating a series of endangered portraits: one of “my girls” featured with everything from whales to lichen in hopes of spreading awareness. (Crossing my fingers I don’t sound too much like a hippie. {No offense to
hippies.})

I am taking my art in to other forms rather than just the “print”. I am
hoping to sell original works created on/in thrifted books, found frames
and even jewelry. I have cards that are so random they suit any body in
any situation no matter what. Seriously. I have little mirrors inside
hand-sewn pouches. I have tiny hand-sewn creatures in boxes and some
wearing scarves. I think with the range I approach all the stuff swimming
in my head, that I’ve got a little something for everyone.

Dallas Russell was born in 1923 to retired vaudeville performers: Frank “The Flash” Russell and Natasha “Boom Boom” Valnentino…. Ok Dallas just has a wild imagination, as is evident from her fanciful, Easily Amused collection.  Actually, she was born much later in Salt Lake City and was bestowed the gift of craft by her mother. Dallas wasted no time in using her artistic inheritance. She began by creating matching outfits and fashionable accessories for her and her  doll collection. She finds her inspiration through color, all things adorable, Japanese cute and vintage findings. Oh, did I mention she likes silly things, especially anthropomorphized animals that wear hats and eat spaghetti! Other than making the world a more whimsical place, she is a Program Coordinator for youth at an after-school and summer program. She likes to ride her bike, watch hours of Project Runway and The Daily Show with her patient hubby Steve. So step right up and see the amazing Dallas and the world of Easily Amused!

I want to do something completely different this time. There will still be some clay, some felt and some calendars. The theme though is “Whimsimobilia” (to see truly the most boring blog on the planet check out http://whimsimobilia.blogspot.com/). The idea is to create a mini toy store of sorts made up of fun things that I am making out of the detritus of the business. Small books, table tent prayer list/pads, puppets (?), felt books, felt tissue holders, super strong clay magnets (circles & bees only), a few tie dyed aprons with a clever applique, jumping jacks covered in vintage wall paper, bubble blowers, small bags of clay beads, maybe a stick horse or two.
