My favorite Item from CrabApplCreations: Primitive Snowman nodder make do ornie tea dyed tree topper rusty spring
The Interview:
I am a happily married mother and grandmother living in God's country here in Southern Indiana. I come from a long line of crafts people. My grandmother and mother both have sewn and made quilts for as long as I can remember. When my girls were little, I made all their clothes. My husband and I have been doing craft shows since 1993. My tastes orgininally ran more toward primitive. He is a retired cabinetmaker so quality is sooo on his mind when building his wood products.
I just recently retired and am having a wonderful time going treasure hunting to find all the beautiful vintage items available in our area. I really enjoy upcycling all the treasures I find into beautiful, bright wall hangings, wedding products and bright colored decor. This etsy adventure is not just to supplement income; it is fun just to see what you can create from a rusty old item or vintage find.
This primitive snowman is one of my favorite things to make. His head has been handcrafted from warm and natural batting which has been tea dyed. His hat is felt and a homespun tie has been added. The entire hat was then brushed with cinammon to create an older look. He has button eyes, a stitched mouth, and his nose is made from a painted and cinammoned paper plate. He smells good.
He sits on a base of greenery and red pip berries, and an old bed spring. He is 12" tall. A tag adorns the spring which says winter welcome. He can either be displayed as a makedo or can be added to the top of your Christmas tree. He can then be taken down and displayed til spring on a shelf or wherever you might decide to add him.
Homespun ties may vary as well as color of warm and natural as it has been tea dyed. There is a variation between snowmen as they are handmade. That is one of the things of beauty of buying handmade in the USA. Every one is different.
This would be a great addition to anyones snowman collection.
This snowman can be combined with other purchases and out of United States shipments will be quoted upon request.
This item may be shipped with others in order to reduce shipping cost. It will gladly be shipped internationally. Just convo me for exact quote.
Thanks for looking. You can also view the rest of our items at crabapplcreations.etsy.com.
Enjoy the wonderful holiday season ahead.

My Favorite item: Aqua blue bead pendant
The Interview:
~ Besides creating, what other hobbies do you have?
I love to take walks and enjoy the area I live in. I've moved around a lot, so it's a great way to get acquainted with everything close by. I am also a photographer, so I love to take pictures of the nature around me. I've discovered that there are many surprising things hidden in Salt Lake City. I write music...and that helps me to unwind.
~ Where does your inspiration come from?
I use my jewelry making as a form of meditation. I also study the techniques of many different artists. I look at different color combinations and try to understand why they work (or don't work).
~ Where would you like to be in 10 years?
I hope I'll have my own home with a jewelry studio. I'd love to be working with more precious stones and metals by then.

Thanks!

About
I have been working with glass beads for 10 years. I got into wire wrapping just last year, and am loving it. I also make some hemp jewelry.
I make one of a kind pieces of jewelry. There may be similar pieces, but there will never be two that are exactly alike.
I also enjoy wood, paper, and leather crafts, but I'm just admiring everyone else's work in those mediums for now. :)

Here is my favorite item from Goldenoaks.
About: Hi!
My name is Heidi and I looove Etsy !!!
I am an artist (and a future art teacher !) residing in Montreal, Quebec.
I create everything you see here at H.Golden Oaks in my small studio. In fact, I enjoy every step of the design process; from choosing the perfect materials, to watching what's in my head materialize.
In the past, I studied arts in college and university and then worked as a mosaïcist.
I have also experimented in acrylic painting, silkscreen painting, snow sculpture, photography, video, resins, wood sculpture, collages, puppet making, etc. I have created jewelry since I was a kid.
I usually work with fabrics, ribbons, beads and recycled objects. I like to create strange and intimate worlds that possess their own ambiance. I usually have several projects going on at once and dozens in my head. Most items in my shop are very limited editions. Thanks so much for stopping by! xo, :) Heidi
This charming piece is made by multiple layers of beads and ribbons. The layers in this necklace are as follows:
Two tiny red ribbons with burgundy wood beads;
Two tiny turquoise ribbons with burgundy wood beads;
Two tiny pink ribbons with burgundy wood beads;
One big red glass bead;
Three rows of little pink glass beads on a silk tread, one with a brass heart that has the Chinese character 富 (fu), that means prosperity;
All these layers are connected to a metal ribbon pinch end, a silver chain made of several hoops and a lobster clasp. The total length of this necklace is around 19-inches. The necklace is adjustable by a few inches to shorten it due to the links of the chain. The lobster clasp can be easily clipped into any of the open links.
This necklace is unique ! There will never be another one like this !
Who knows, maybe this little chinese heart will bring you properity !

The Interview
Tell the readers about yourself.
I'm 19 years old and am currently a sophomore in college. I'm majoring in graphic design but I also love illustration. I have a loving family and boyfriend who are constantly supporting me. I tend to be quite shy at first but once I get talking to someone, I won't stop talking, haha. I knew I always wanted to be an artist but didn't decide to pursue it until high school, where I got a lot of negative feedback and criticism.
Besides creating, what other hobbies do you have?
I love to play the keyboard and I love baking cookies.
Where does your inspiration come from?
My inspiration comes from everything around me. My faith in Christ is where I get most inspiration but I also get inspiration from nature and things people say. I love typography so I'll take things I hear and make it aesthetically pleasing in an art print.
Where would you like to be in 10 years?
I would like to either own my own business or working for Chrysler. I'm a diehard Mopar fan.
