The Tenth Day of Artsy!

It's the Tenth Day of Artsy Affair, and my true love got for you...

A HighWire Handmade from Sophia Sarno! Always learning from her father, she was taught to look up when she walks. That's where she find birds and wires, open skies, clouds and lots of inspiration. Then  translating the colors, lines and atmosphere seen above, into her jewelry. This season sees an expansion of the High Wire Handmade watercolor pendants with new rings and earrings to the collection. Sophia sticks to what makes them special, and crafts each piece from an original, tiny painting. Her favorite gifts have always been the small, unique ones made with love, and she hopes to help fill some stockings with just that!

 And don't forget the smaller true love on your holiday list! Lily Pad Designs is happy to be launching Thimbleberry Dolls at Artsy Affair this year.  These dolls are unique soft dolls, each with a different old fashioned name with a modern look.  Special orders can be placed to have specific hair color, hair style, facial expressions and dress color as well as naming a special doll for your special child.  Plus their holiday decor favorites of wreaths and needle felted ornaments, jewelry and home goods, Erin & Carrie will have something for everyone on your list!

The Ninth Day of Artsy

It's the Ninth Day of Artsy and my true love brings to me... 

Some bath & body products from Sweet Mojo Apothecary! Started about the same time as the idea of Artsy Affair was born, these two ladies bring the sweet scents of nature to scrubs, oils and soaks.  Does your sweetie deserve a little pampering this year? Then be sure to stop by and stock up on the apothecary needs for your mini spa at home!

Then continue your stroll over to Earth Tones & Fishbones where you will find local Brunswick Artist Catherine Worthington and her amazing quilted pieces that transform into belts, bags, cards and pillows.  Starting with and idea or photo and transforming it into a keepsake through first creating fabrics using textile paints on canvas or cotton, then incorporating a variety of surface design techniques.  She then collages the fabrics together to make a composition that will often start with just a few strips of color.  When satisfied with the composition she'll then machine quilt the pieces using free motion stitching which allows her to draw with her sewing machine.  Catherine uses various colors and types of threads and often adds hand stitching or embellishes with embroidery floss  to add even more detail. These pieces must be seen to be appreciated.

Hard to believe Artsy Affair is just days away!
