<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My husband and I live in Strongsville, Oh. My day job is in banking and crafts and beading fill much of my free time. I have been crafting for my entire life and have been beading seriously for about eight to nine years. My mom was crafty so we always had something around to work on.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My inspiration comes from lots of places - things I see, other crafters, books, videos, nature, previous crafts. I am constantly learning - changes what techniques I use. I very much enjoyed the journey of learning. I very much enjoy teaching - sharing my knowledge and experience and especially showing people the right way, and the wrong way to do some of the techniques. I share my experimenting and 'fails'!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Determining what to make comes from various influences. I hate getting stale so I am constantly researching and reading. Once I know what I want to make I begin to select materials. Then I just go for it. This is my seventh or eight Avant-Garde show and I am super excited to return!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Like most of us, I am so many different people at once! I am joyfully married to my husband of 14 years and we have two incredible daughters with whom I try to spend meaningful time (while I still can!). I spent a couple of years doing musical theater with our 12 year old daughter and this year I am a Girl Scout with our 9 year old. I spend my days at Case Western Reserve University where I was once a research scientist and now work on the compliance and administrative side in support of our researchers. I love to be outside, to read and to be at the bottom of a snuggle pile. I would be remiss, and likely disowned, if I did not mention how much I enjoy the newest addition to the family, our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Sebastian. </span><br />

</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made hemp and beaded jewelry in my younger years but this, the intention and energy jewelry, I have only been making for about 6 months and selling it for even less time. My own spiritual and emotional needs drew me back to meditation first, then working with healing stones and creating energy and intention bracelets second. I made a few bracelets for myself out of healing stones and it wasn't long before I started to hear from others, "That's really cool, I need one of those!" Which evolved into, "Do you sell these?" I was honestly surprised others wanted to buy what I created! It is more than putting pieces together to create a pretty bracelet and I think that is the draw. I think it is less about talent and more about the care I put into these. Or maybe the care is my talent? I often cleanse my space with a smudge stick before I begin to work. I might lay out a crystal or two to help me focus my thoughts and energy on what I want to create, and everything I make is made thoughtfully, with intention and cleansed through smudging before being given to my customer or taken to a show. Every bracelet comes with a card explaining the stones used, numerical significance, if any, and the intention that created it. I suspect that part is more the talent than stringing beads?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">People inspire me. I try to hear and internalize the problems and concerns of the people around me, or those that are so common we all cope with. I want to help alleviate those problems for people. I want to provide aides and tools to overcome mountains, to help people persevere, to grow, to love ourselves and others, to evolve into the best of ourselves. The message of my work is that none of us are done yet. We are all still evolving and we have a say in how that goes. Listen to your inner voice (the kind one!) and the Universe and hear what they are telling you, discover what you need and go get it so you can be the best of yourself. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN">We’ve been making soap together regularly for about two and a half years. <o:p></o:p></span>Initially, Hope took a class on how to make soap around the time her youngest of three children was leaving home. Erica, always curious and eager to learn, thought making soap with her mom was a stellar idea. As making soap is practical as well as fun, we’ve stuck with it. We’d like to believe that we infuse our soap with our care and creativity when making each batch.</span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hope loves color, wants to know how things are constructed (fabric, usually), and always wants to rearrange (furniture, appliances, you-name-it) and make things look beautiful while retaining or improving their functionality.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Erica loves to build things (both digitally and physically). She likes to understand how things work and then apply that knowledge to improve her part of the process. Logic and intuition play a part in how she creates, with attention to detail being an asset with both artistic and technical endeavors.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Meet Josh Marinelli of J. Marinelli Art...</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A little more than a year ago (last summer), I turned my attention to some paintings I had created throughout my past. A neighbor happened to stop by as I was unpacking them and she was immediately struck and walked away with 3! My first sale! After that, I decided to not turn away from this thing that was always in me but never allowed to develop. So I’ve been painting regularly for a little more than a year. However the first ‘discovery’ came 20 years ago.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do not have any formal artistic training or background! I earned a MA in Eng.Lit from John Carroll. And taught Eng. Comp at many colleges in three different states over the course of 20 years.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over this past year, 2 plywood pieces and a large plywood commissioned piece found homes with individuals that connected somehow to them. It’s still absolutely awesome to think about: That something I made is hanging in someone’s home/office. Even just being in these AG shows is still kinda scary. I’ve only been present in 1 so far!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The colors that appear in my work usually come from natural things. The sky and clouds, a Red Maple tree across the street, trees in general. And my ‘subjects’ are ideas, senses, feelings, and motion itself, especially patterns. I’m drawn to working on wood surfaces like plywood and even unfinished “chunks” of logs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My name is Patricia Dennison & I am the owner of Palmer Place Fine Teas. I am of Scottish ancestry, and grew up drinking tea. I have many fond memories of drinking tea with my Scottish grandmother. Tea time then was a gathering of my mom, sister, aunts & cousins. We shared many laughs & cups of strong black tea with milk & sugar. To this day, when I have a strong black cup of tea it takes me back to my childhood. The name Palmer Place Fine Teas is derived from No. 10 Palmer Place Tea Room. I owed this tea room in the 2010's. Desiring to focus on tea education, I closed the restaurant and stayed in the tea business. <br /> <br />As a Tea Sommelier, it is my mission to educate the consumer about the different types of tea & their flavor profiles. I also realize that many consumers do not know how to brew tea properly. It is my goal to teach customers tea brewing techniques that will produce the most flavorful and enjoyable cup.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
As part of my tea certification programs I was required to taste hundreds of different teas and take notes on each tea. Soon I was able to identify different teas by their taste & identify their origin. I have learned how to prepare each type of tea for optimal flavor, and create blends because of my knowledge of the different flavor profiles.<br /> <br />The key to blending and flavoring tea is not only knowing how the tea tastes, but what the blending components taste like as well. Therefore, when I create a new blend, I will taste the blending components brewed separately from the tea, then begin combining. Much of the initial process is trial & error. Often it takes 4-6 attempts to come up with a blend that is pleasing to many different palates.</span><br />

I will continue my on line presence <a href="http://www.palmerplacetea.com,/">http://www.palmerplacetea.com,</a> I will also continue to attend shows and festivals throughout Northeastern Ohio. There are so many shows that often I cannot be two places at once, so my goal is to have a staff so that Palmer Place Tea can be represented at numerous venues. I would also like to have my teas represented in more businesses throughout Northeastern Ohio.<br /> <br />here are many tea purveyors out there, but not all suppliers are knowledgeable about their product. They merely purchase their tea from a wholesaler and re-package it with their name. When you purchase Palmer Place Fine Teas, you will know that your teas come from only reputable, trusted, FDA approved sources that have been carefully selected at the World Tea Expo. In addition, many of my tea blends are proprietary to Palmer Place Fine Teas and cannot be found anywhere else.</span><br />

I grew up in Ohio, just outside of Cleveland, with my mom, dad, younger brother, younger sister, and our dogs, Olive, Bob, and Kaiser. My favorite art medium is ceramics, but I also enjoy drawing and photography. Some of my hobbies are reading, writing, and more recently, knitting.<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’ve always loved making art and doing art projects, so I’d say I’ve been an artist pretty much forever, but I got really into ceramics and photography in high school, and I really only started drawing a lot this past summer. I’ve also only just started attending art shows, though I’ve participated in school art shows before. This will be my 2nd Avant-Garde Craft Show. I decided to start applying to and selling art at these shows because I already make a ton of art on my own and for my classes, and since I am a poor college student, I thought it might be nice to make some extra money and get some exposure as a new artist. <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 wouldn’t say that I discovered a talent for art, I’ve just always known that I like art and that I’m good at it. I took art classes all throughout high school and decided to pursue a career in art education because of how much art and creating mean to me. That being said, I also wouldn’t say that any one thing inspires me to create because the things I create are inspired by many things. If anything, I would say that I create because I simply can’t not make art. Even when I find myself in a bit of a rut I always have some ideas floating around, and can always find something to draw or make. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I think haphazard is a good word to describe my creative process. I’m never quite sure when I’ll have ideas for drawings, or when I’ll have the time and energy to actually draw them since I’m usually pretty busy with classes. When I do have time and ideas, the process for my drawings usually goes through the steps of having the idea, drawing sketches or a sketch with notes and possible adjustments, drawing the final copy on larger paper in pencil, and then adding color to the final copy, usually with markers. When I do ceramics, the process is even more involved, because many ceramics pieces require multiple sketches, since ceramics is a 3D medium, and I don’t make many coffee mugs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

But in terms of selling my art, the plan is pretty much to keep doing what I’ve started doing this past year, drawing and making art as much as I can, and applying to and attending shows whenever I can. I wouldn’t say there’s any real message in my work, like “stop pollution” or that sort of thing. The things I create are simply a reflection of me and how I see the world, and my attempt to capture what I see in some physical form</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I discovered my talent when I was encouraged as a child by my father to explore color and media and have never stopped. Then, living in Oberlin where there is a great bead supply store, I saw a lot of nifty stuff and wanted to make my own. I love colors, textures, and shapes, and enjoy making unusual things happen in different media. Usually, I sit with a tiny pen or pencil sketch and consider what I want the ultimate illustration to look like, or else I pick up a ceramic piece and just apply color! sometimes I find a focal bead that makes me want to string things with it that will showcase just that one piece.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

My main message is that art should be accessible and enjoyable in a multitude of ways. Everyone can find something creative to express themselves with or through and I hope my multi-medium approach stimulates that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">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. I also offer handmade zipper pouches, mini wallets, and lip balm totes as well as special character handbags for the little girl in your life.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’ve always been artsy and crafty, but I never considered selling my work until I began creating daily. I was going through a rut in life — I was recently graduated from college and having difficulty finding jobs in my field, and I was feeling really disheartened. I usually turned to writing or drawing, but I had developed carpal tunnel in my hands, and it was affecting several areas of my life. My happiness has always been linked to my creativity, and I was feeling stunted and frustrated. When I discovered fluid art, my creativity was reignited. This is an art form that’s not only fun to do and mesmerizing to look at, but also is easy on my hands. And I can create more often. I’ve been painting and selling as emByMarissa for nearly a year.</span></span></div>

I’m only 25, but I’ve experienced a lot of hardship. Growing up, I was subjected to abuse, domestic violence and, for a while, poverty. Those experiences led to a lot of anxiety and depression throughout my adolescence and adult life. Creating is my therapy. It’s how I heal my soul. Whenever things start to pile up and feel like too much, art saves me. It’s one of the biggest blessings in my life, and I hope I can bring joy and some form of healing for people who enjoy my work. </span></span></div>

From painting to paper quilling to sculpting to knitting, there are few art and crafts I haven’t tried. And because it’s cathartic for me, I keep going and continue exploring new art forms. I’ve recently added more resin art to my inventory, and I’m excited to introduce my new pieces. This will be my first show with the Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show, and I can’t think of a better place to showcase my work.</span></span></div>

One thing I hear a lot is, “I’m not artistic; I could never do that.” I’m a strong believer that if someone is passionate enough about something, even if it currently requires skills that aren’t currently in their toolbox, they can develop those skills and become an expert. There’s nothing that people can’t learn. Trial, error, determination and an open mind are key. I want to create a space where I can continue my own art journey while also encouraging and promoting others.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">My name is Gina Dean owner of Mamma G's Gourmet Caramel Corn. I am a mother of four who recently went through a divorce and needed to figure out a way to support myself and still keep the time for my children that I wanted and needed. I started my business in November of 2018, although I had done a few crafts shows in years prior. This show will be my first Avant-Garde show. I look forward to showcasing my product and meeting other like-minded creators.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">My children are an inspiration behind my caramel creations. I love to take all the goodies I make for my them and turn them into caramel corn. I have always loved to create things and cook I just put my own twist on it to make my creations unique. I discovered that people love delicious and unique homemade items so I just added that uniqueness to my caramel corn. I also get my inspiration from my love to cook and create. My children, family, and friends also have given me ideas and suggestions that I then figure out how to turn into caramel corn goodies.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The inspiration for my designs come in many different forms: fashion, nature, and historical patterns to name a few. Personally, as a business owner, I am inspired by my family and friends. The encouragement, excitement, and support are what keep me going and believing in myself. </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Grey Opal Studio was born out of a recent obsession for Swarovski crystal stones. I found myself reaching for the same pair of earrings day after day, wishing I had more choices. Then boom...I can make these! </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A strong sense of design, color, and just being a visual learner and observer has really helped me in the maker’s industry. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I truly enjoy creating, and I’m learning to embrace the challenge of the business side as well. </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I design jewelry that I love, they are pieces I wouldn’t hesitate to wear. So my creative process stems from my personal style. </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In 5 years, I hope to be selling at local shows as well as some in the south. I really enjoyed talking to my customers this past holiday season. It was fun and I loved seeing people try on my jewelry...it begs to be tried on! I am also in the process of growing my wholesale business. </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The message behind my jewelry is to inspire women to express their individuality and beauty in the workplace, at a party or just running errands! </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">My name is Maria Falorio and I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH. I am a full-time preschool teacher, but I have a love of creating and crafting. I have tapped into many areas of crafting, from painting to crocheting, but have recently found a love of creating household items and jewelry for friends and family to enjoy. I am excited to begin to share my talents with others!</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222;">I have had a creative side for as long as I can remember, but I really started creating for other people in college. Since graduating, I find that crafting and creating gives me a sense of joy and relaxation from the “real world” stresses and find myself creating in my free time.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">This is my first Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show, and first craft show ever! I am so excited to finally share some of my work.</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222;">I am inspired to create when I think about the joy that art can spread between people and with an entire community. My hope is that when someone wears my handmade jewelry, they are reminded of how powerful their thoughts, words, and actions are and choose to have a positive day. I also hope they are a reminder to the customer to spread some kindness that day, whether that be through a random act or a small conversation.</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222;">I hope the same for my household items. The purpose behind them is to serve as a reminder or just bring a smile to someone’s face.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">As I stated earlier, crafting became a big part of my life during and after college. I have always found it to be a stress reliever and an enjoyable hobby. Once I was gifted my Cricut, I soon realized the wide variety of items that I can create and personalize and I took off from there!</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222;">I discovered my talent through trial and error. I fumbled through multiple mediums until I found the one that truly showed me that my creations were not just for me, but that they can bring joy and happiness to those around me if I share them!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">I try to create things that I feel would serve as good reminders to choose happiness. I enjoy creating items (such as pillows, dish towels, and makeup bags) that I know people can look at each day, in common areas of the home, and make them smile.</span><span style="color: #222222;"> Though </span><span style="color: #222222;">I do not have a clear plan of where this tiny business will be in the next 5 years, I hope to spread kindness through my work and hope it is shared with others! I plan on exploring other products to create as well as find a way to use this business to give back to the community.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I think it is so important for people to remember that they have the power to decide how their day is going to go every single day. You have the opportunity every day to decide to have a good day and to use your own positivity to lift others. I hope that my work is a reminder to everyone who sees it to choose happy, to spread kindness and to find the positives in each day. I hope my work becomes a reminder to share kind words or participate in a random act of kindness.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I’m retired from a Commercial Real Estate Leasing career and have been a singer/performer in an all-female, acoustic rock-n-retro band called the Blackjack Gypsies for the last 7 years. I started making Boho-style jewelry in January of 2018, not only to wear while performing but to keep myself busy in the dead of the cold and dreary Ohio winter. This will be my first Avant-Garde show, however, I've participated in four other shows and had four home parties. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">My creative inspiration comes from my fascination with the vast array of beads and gemstones I've found online and at retail bead shops. They've come a long way from the plastic beads of the past. The band jewelry actually inspired my new venture. I was very pleased with the first bracelet I created and received many compliments, and have been asked to make jewelry pieces for family and friends. I appreciate their challenging requests and have always received positive responses and great reviews. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">My creative process begins with finding the right color combinations, bead sizes, and textures and taking a good bit of time with the design process. In five years, I hope to be deeply entrenched in the art/craft show circuit and possibly selling my jewelry in unique, upscale retail shops. I would also like to work with brides, to create jewelry pieces to give as gifts to their bridal party that are one-of-a-kind pieces to match the color and style of their dresses. My message is to step out of the box and show the world your freestyle!</span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">Hi! My name is Robyn Leopold, I grew up in Chagrin Falls, and have a diverse background of marketing, nursing, and currently getting my MBA. I have a deep love and appreciation for crystals and stones, and their healing power and the positive energy that's given off. I have always been a creative type, and love to put my energy into artwork and jewelry making. I am engaged to be married in April and I have three dogs and one cat! I donate a portion of sales to The Animal Welfare Institute.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">I’ve been painting and making various artwork for about five years and recently began my journey of creating jewelry in 2018.</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222;">This will be my first Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show. I am so excited! I am inspired by the universe and everything that encompasses it! For instance, the beautiful crystals and stones that have been being created over centuries, the cycles of the moon, the stars in the sky, and the galaxies beyond that-hence the name, Celestial Collective.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">I’ve always been a creative person, and find that once I begin crafting/painting/making jewelry, I feel empowered, motivated, meditative. It gives me such an incredible outlet to do something I love and to share it with all of you. Once I started making art and jewelry, people noted how much they loved it and how they’d love to be able to purchase it, so that helped me discover I had a knack for this! My fiancé is also so supportive and an amazing motivator as he’s always so positive about anything I create.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">I get inspired by things that catch my eye, which I sometimes put down on paper, and sometimes I’ll just grab the tools I need, and start creating physical items! In five years, I hope to see my business grow tremendously so that it could be a sustainable income source for myself so that I can stay at home with my future children. </span><span style="color: #222222;">My message is to </span><span style="color: #222222;">stay positive, stay grounded by all of the natural beauty that surrounds you, and feel amazing vibes from inside yourself, being who you are, and knowing that is amazing.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have been teaching special education for seven years, six of which have been in preschool. I am passionate about the work that I do with my students as well as my artwork. I try to find opportunities to share art and creative expression with them as often as possible. I have been painting for over 10 years but began my business within the last year. In general, I like to think that I see the world with an artistic eye. I tend to notice the details of colors, shadows, textures, angles, etc. in most things that I see and often imagine how I would create a painting of what I'm looking at. Specifically, the inspiration for my custom pet portraits comes from the love that I have for my own dog, Roxanne. She and I have a close bond and my very first pet portrait was of her. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Drawing and painting have been life-long hobbies of mine. I can remember keeping sketchbooks filled with drawings of animals and landscapes even as a child. My real talent was discovered thanks to my high school art teacher, Miss Curry. After I finished my very first painting in my very first class with her, she said to me, "You're going to be an artist whether you like it or not." I guess I ran with that. The process is similar for all of my work. I choose the subject, make a decision about the layout, and begin the painting. I start with a sketch of undertones, adding layers of color as I work. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">In five years, I hope to continue making artwork for others to enjoy. It is a special thing for me to be able to share art with others, especially when the subject holds personal meaning. The message behind my art is to love what you see. That flooding feeling that overcomes your chest when you're looking at something or someone that makes you truly happy is what I hope to achieve through my art. This will be my first Avant-Garde Art & Craft show!<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I am Richard Berube and I have lived in the Alliance, Ohio area since 1991 on a piece of property that my wife of 37 years has affectionately named “Green Acres.” It’s the place to be! I have experimented with several art projects over the last couple of years due to becoming disabled. This will be my first show and certainly, I hope that it will not be my last as I grow in my technique and abilities as an artist. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are a husband and wife team. Amanda handles most of the baking while John handles bookkeeping and homeschooling our two kids. He also helps in the kitchen as needed. Amanda has been selling baked goods out of our home since 2012 but has been baking most of her life. Chagrin Falls will be our second Avant-Garde show and we're looking forward too many more.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Amanda gets her inspiration from whatever she sees around her and whatever others ask her to create. She got into baking for 4H at around age 8, where she realized that she could put artistic expression into her foods and has continued to refine it from that. In 2012, she started selling her goods at garage sales and it has continued to grow since then.</span></span></div>

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.'"

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">I’m an Eastlake resident of 12 years and find the Lake County area very nice. It has a lot to offer. 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 fulltime and enjoy sewing on my off hours. I’m very busy with weekend craft shows and my Facebook page featuring all the items I make.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">I have been sewing for a very long time. On occasions of someone getting married, having a baby, or even getting sick, I would make a quilt, baby blanket or a throw blanket. It always brought a smile to their face and they knew that someone cared enough to take the time to make something so lovely out of love. A few years ago my daughter had her own daughter, and the question was raised, “What can she wear to keep her warm and safe in the car?” Much concern has been raised recently that small children cannot wear coats in car seats because it has been found to be unsafe. The coat adds bulk and studies have found that the child can slip out of the car seat restraints upon impact. So, I got to thinking, did some research, and that’s when I started making Car Seat Ponchos. All the car seat belts go under the Car Seat Poncho so the child can be securely restrained. I also started making Car Seat Covers. Car Seat Covers provide</span><span style="background: white; color: #26282a;"> the child with privacy and also protect them from the elements</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.</span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love going into a fabric store and seeing all the different colors and textures of fabric. Sometimes I spend too much time in there because I need to make sure what material I purchase is what my customer, family or friends would want. When I start to create something new I open a word document and I start laying out a quilt or a slumber sleep pad. There is a lot of doodling before I start creating. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;">This will be my first Avant-Garde Show and I’m looking forward to it. I have only been making Car Seat Ponchos and Car Seat Covers for a year and a half so I’m still pretty new at craft shows</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;">The message behind my work would be, it does not matter if it’s a Car Seat Poncho, Car Seat Cover, Blanket, Hat, Flowered Headband or even a bib. A lot of joy and love was added into each item I make. These items will make your baby or toddler warm, safe, and protect their clothes. They will feel the love with each item!</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello there! I'm Kelly Mansi, owner of Jewelry Art by Kelly. When I'm not making art, I am a wife and mother of two adult children one of which is married. Leading ministries at our local church is also important to me. Two fur babies (cats) round out the household. Jewelry Art by Kelly began as a hobby which I enjoyed so much that I realized to support it, I needed to sell some pieces of my artwork. Friends saw the pieces and bought them and told their friends and the business took off! Now I get to keep making my own creations as well as work with clients to make art out of their own heirloom jewelry. It’s about the beauty of memories! I specialize in one of a kind pieces of art made mainly from jewelry with a history. I love challenges and creating beautiful pieces. When I work with pieces of jewelry, I love to see how a picture comes together as I fit each special piece together. Each work of art takes a few hours to complete. I go to my “happy place” when I am designing. Currently, making bouquets, freeform collages, trees, and couture women silhouettes are my favorite!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jewelry is always connected to a memory. Family members present and past, milestones like weddings, and special moments are a few events we want to remember. I enjoy working with clients who want to preserve these memories and enjoy seeing them everyday. No more hiding precious jewelry in boxes and drawers! If you have jewelry from a loved one or gathered over time from the family, you can have it made into a special, one of a kind picture. One of my recent pieces included 4 generations of jewelry and memories. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love to hunt for vintage jewelry, gather a little bit of modern and make magic happen. Since the majority of my artwork is made from jewelry with a history, you may see imperfections in the jewelry. This adds to the uniqueness and character of the final piece. I frame all my jewelry art pictures in a shadow box in order to give the jewelry protection and lasting enjoyment. Explore my Facebook page Jewelry Art by Kelly to look at my pieces and see what is available for purchase. You can also contact me via messenger or my email mansifamily@hotmail.com if you are interested in purchasing a piece or having a piece of jewelry art made just for you! I love to attend juried shows like Avant-Garde Art & Craft Shows. When you walk into one of the shows, you will see unique, hand-made works of art. You will enjoy a multitude of quality options to give to others as well as to make your own home beautiful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Marissa Barnhart from EmByMarissa...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’ve always been artsy and crafty, but I never considered selling my work until I began creating daily. I was going through a rut in life — I was recently graduated from college and having difficulty finding jobs in my field, and I was feeling really disheartened. I usually turned to writing or drawing, but I had developed carpal tunnel in my hands, and it was affecting several areas of my life. My happiness has always been linked to my creativity, and I was feeling stunted and frustrated. When I discovered fluid art, my creativity was reignited.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is an artform that’s not only fun to do and mesmerizing to look at, but also is easy on my hands. And I can create more often. I’ve been painting and selling as emByMarissa for nearly a year. Art has been an escape for me since I was young. I’m only 25, but I’ve experienced a lot of hardship. Growing up, I was subjected to abuse, domestic violence and, for a while, poverty. Those experiences led to a lot of anxiety and depression throughout my adolescence and adult life. Creating is my therapy. It’s how I heal my soul. Whenever things start to pile up and feel like too much, art saves me. It’s one of the biggest blessings in my life, and I hope I can bring joy and some form of healing for people who enjoy my work. I’ve always been fascinated by how things are made, and I have to try it for myself. From painting to paper quilling to sculpting to knitting, there are few art and crafts I haven’t tried. And because it’s cathartic for me, I keep going and continue exploring new art forms. I’ve recently added more resin art to my inventory, and I’m excited to introduce my new pieces. This will be my first show with the Avant-Garde Art & Craft Shows, and I can’t think of a better place to showcase my work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the future, I would love to open an art studio and hold classes and dedicate time for art students and other artists to work in a safe space. One thing I hear a lot is “I’m not artistic; I could never do that.” I’m a strong believer that if someone is passionate enough about something, even if it currently requires skills that aren’t currently in their toolbox, they can develop those skills and become an expert. There’s nothing that people can’t learn. Trial, error, determination and an open mind are key. I want to create a space where I can continue my own art journey while also encouraging and promoting others. If you’d like to see more or shop my art, please visit embymarissa.etsy.com!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been teaching special education for 7 years, 6 of which have been in preschool. I am passionate about the work that I do with my students as well as my artwork. I try to find opportunities to share art and creative expression with them as often as possible. I have been painting for over 10 years but began my business within the last year. This is my first Avant-Garde Art&Craft show.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In general, I like to think that I see the world with an artistic eye. I tend to notice the details of colors, shadows, textures, angles, etc. in most things that I see and often imagine how I would create a painting of what I'm looking at. Specifically, the inspiration for my custom pet portraits comes from the love that I have for my own dog, Roxanne. She and I have a close bond and my very first pet portrait was of her. Drawing and painting have been life long hobbies of mine. I can remember keeping sketch books filled with drawings of animals and landscapes even as a child. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My real talent was discovered thanks to my high school art teacher, Miss Curry. After I finished my very first painting in my very first class with her, she said to me, "You're going to be an artist whether you like it or not." I guess I ran with that. The process is similar for all of my work. I choose the subject, make a decision about the layout, and begin the painting. I start with a sketch of undertones, adding layers of color as I work. In 5 year, I hope to continue making artwork for others to enjoy. It is a special thing for me to be able to share art with others, especially when the subject holds a personal meaning. </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 art is to love what you see. That flooding feeling that overcomes your chest when you're looking at something or someone that makes you truly happy is what I hope to achieve through my art. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Meet Melissa Tresler from Zim Woodworking...</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Zim Woodworking is a natural offshoot of Gerry's previous business. Gerry has owned his own business as a remodeling contractor for 40+ years. In the past few years he has been slowly phasing out of some of the more demanding aspects, such as roofing. He decided that he has spent enough years running up and down ladders, and that he would like to focus more of his attention on creating things. He has always offered custom woodworking in his remodeling business, so over the years he has developed a nice wood shop. Now he found more time to spend in it! The more time he spends, the more he enjoys it, and 4 years later, here we are.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Our products range from cutting boards to picture frames to jewelry organizers to planters and many things in between. Most products originate as a request from family or friends. Then as Gerry makes one of them, for efficiency he makes a whole bunch of them! Many products start off as a custom request, but demand takes them into a stock item.</span></div>

Gerry doesn't see the need to use exotic wood when we have such a diverse and beautiful selection of wood right in our neighborhood. It is always fun to go shopping for pieces of wood. Sometimes he comes home with pieces that he doesn't know what he is going to build with them, but they were too beautiful or too cool to leave behind! At some point he will look at that piece of wood, and it will tell him what it wants to be! As of right now, Gerry has so many ideas of things he wants to make, but not enough time in the day to do all of them. But don't be afraid to ask if he can make it - whatever "it" is - Gerry loves a challenge!</span></div>

It provide people an opportunity to walk areas of the farm and also educate about providing safe havens for many types of pollinators. We distill our essential oil in late summer at the farm for people to see how </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">essential oil is created. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">This is our 2nd show with Avant-Garde Art & Craft Shows.

It takes 3 years for our lavender to begin producing enough lavender bud to be able to increase our product line. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">From field to home we do not add any harmful chemicals and stay as natural as possible to provide a safe haven for our pollinators and customers. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">No dyes of chemicals go into our products.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">My husband and I live in the lovely little town of Garrettsville. We met taking ballroom dancing lessons, and have one sweet little cat named Rory. When I’m not beach-combing, I’m a Doctor of Audiology with a penchant for dizziness and balance disorders. While beach-combing, I collect what some call lucky stones, and was excited to learn that these are actually the otoliths of sheepshead fish, part of their (and microscopically our) balance organ. I love how my passions blend together! I started hunting for beach glass in the spring of 2014. I was familiar with seaglass but didn’t realize the abundance of these treasures that washed ashore on the beaches of Lake Erie. I tried my hand at wire-wrapping that summer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">This is my debut exhibition with Avant-Garde Art and Craft shows! I’m excited to participate alongside such unique artisans! The inspiration to create comes from something deep internally. I’ve always been artsy but I can’t actually articulate what drives me. It really is something that happens when the mood strikes. I try to work in the sunlight on weekend mornings, but I’ve also had ideas hit me right before bed, often keeping me up later than anticipated. Music helps with the process and I play whatever my current mood calls for. The drive to create is also stoked by perusing a variety of museums, galleries, and shows. They bring me great joy and rejuvenate my creativity.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I’ve been blessed with a creative nature my entire life. For this endeavor I turned to YouTube and Pinterest to learn some basic wirewrapping techniques and then made them my own. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">It’s funny because wire-wrapping requires a good bit of improvisation, and for as spontaneous as I can be at times, I’ve never been relaxed with myself enough to really improvise anything. Initially I felt the organic styles I started out using clashed with my more classic preferences, but I’ve learned to bend myself to work with the unique shape of each individual piece and to bring it into my own style. I find so many metaphors while on the beach and while working with each unique piece. My work primarily showcases how beauty, hope, and resilience may be found in the broken; that what typically starts as a generic bottle develops into a gem-like bobble, with a glow and a smoothness, internal and external beauty, despite the tumultuous conditions it encounters over decades of tumbling and buffing in the harsh conditions of the waves and sand.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I was born and raised in Chagrin Falls and have spent my adult years oscillating between living in the Cleveland area and traveling the world. I've spent lots of time in the wilderness and lots of time gardening and farming. I really prefer to be outside and always feel refreshed and calm when I'm in nature. I've been creating and crafting for most of my life. I have always loved tiny and detailed things, as I made faerie houses and gardens as a young adult, and endless accessories, clothes, shoes, bags and everything you could think of for my American Girl Dolls. I learned how to knit and crochet as a kid and it has flowed in and out of my life since then.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">What began my inspiration for this current body of creation was a desire to reduce plastic usage. I had found one of those plastic magnetic alphabet and picture sets at a garage sale for my daughter and was so excited for her to have it that I thought it would be a great kind of gift to give her friend for her birthday. Then it occurred to me that I could make something even better out of felt, and the creative juices just started flowing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I think it has only been in the last couple of years that I have really begun to appreciate my skills, as I have begun to knit beautiful pieces for my daughter, and to recognize how I am always wanting to create something. I get an idea, I get really excited about it and then I make it. That's when it flows. Sometimes I have a sort of vague sense of what I want to create but it's not truly coming from me and so it doesn't work. The message behind my work is "joy, beauty, fun"!</span></div>

It’s because of her that I’ve been able to put my creative juices to work!! </span></span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I started my sewing adventures when I was 9 years old when my grandmother taught/helped me make my first quilt! Then about 12 years ago I started doing more quilts alongside my mom! And it has grown from there now doing towels (that my grandmother did) that I grew up having in our kitchen as a kid! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The towels that I make are basically a tribute to my grandmother! She made a version of these when I was a kid and so many of our friends and family had them in their homes and after she passed I wanted to continue these amazing towels with my friends and family! My grandmother was a seamstress many years ago and all through my childhood my mom would do different crafts and creations and now as an adult I get to work side by side with my mom on so many projects!</span></div>

If it’s towels I look for towels that speak to my heart and the hearts of my friends. When it comes to custom quilts we carefully listen to what the person is looking for and then let the fabric do the talking!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Melissa Tresler from Zim Woodworking...</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Zim Woodworking is a natural offshoot of Gerry's previous business. Gerry has owned his own business as a remodeling contractor for 40+ years. In the past few years he has been slowly phasing out of some of the more demanding aspects, such as roofing. He decided that he has spent enough years running up and down ladders, and that he would like to focus more of his attention on creating things. He has always offered custom woodworking in his remodeling business, so over the years he has developed a nice wood shop. Now he found more time to spend in it! The more time he spends, the more he enjoys it, and 4 years later, here we are.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Our products range from cutting boards to picture frames to jewelry organizers to planters and many things in between. Most products originate as a request from family or friends. Then as Gerry makes one of them, for efficiency he makes a whole bunch of them!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The products we carry are made using native Northeast Ohio lumber. Gerry doesn't see the need to use exotic wood when we have such a diverse and beautiful selection of wood right in our neighborhood. It is always fun to go shopping for pieces of wood. Sometimes he comes home with pieces that he doesn't know what he is going to build with them, but they were too beautiful or too cool to leave behind! At some point he will look at that piece of wood, and it will tell him what it wants to be! As of right now, Gerry has so many ideas of things he wants to make, but not enough time in the day to do all of them. But don't be afraid to ask if he can make it - whatever "it" is - Gerry loves a challenge!</span></div>

It takes 3 years for our lavender to begin producing enough lavender bud to be able to increase our product line. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">From field to home we do not add any harmful chemicals and stay as natural as possible to provide a safe haven for our pollinators and customers. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">No dyes of chemicals go into our products.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My husband and I live in the lovely little town of Garrettsville. We met taking ballroom dancing lessons, and have one sweet little cat named Rory. When I’m not beach-combing, I’m a Doctor of Audiology with a penchant for dizziness and balance disorders. While beach-combing, I collect what some call lucky stones, and was excited to learn that these are actually the otoliths of sheepshead fish, part of their (and microscopically our) balance organ. I love how my passions blend together! I started hunting for beach glass in the spring of 2014. I was familiar with seaglass but didn’t realize the abundance of these treasures that washed ashore on the beaches of Lake Erie. I tried my hand at wire-wrapping that summer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is my debut exhibition with Avant-Garde Art and Craft shows! I’m excited to participate alongside such unique artisans! The inspiration to create comes from something deep internally. I’ve always been artsy but I can’t actually articulate what drives me. It really is something that happens when the mood strikes. I try to work in the sunlight on weekend mornings, but I’ve also had ideas hit me right before bed, often keeping me up later than anticipated. Music helps with the process and I play whatever my current mood calls for. The drive to create is also stoked by perusing a variety of museums, galleries, and shows. They bring me great joy and rejuvenate my creativity.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I’ve been blessed with a creative nature my entire life. For this endeavor I turned to YouTube and Pinterest to learn some basic wirewrapping techniques and then made them my own. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It’s funny because wire-wrapping requires a good bit of improvisation, and for as spontaneous as I can be at times, I’ve never been relaxed with myself enough to really improvise anything. Initially I felt the organic styles I started out using clashed with my more classic preferences, but I’ve learned to bend myself to work with the unique shape of each individual piece and to bring it into my own style. I find so many metaphors while on the beach and while working with each unique piece. My work primarily showcases how beauty, hope, and resilience may be found in the broken; that what typically starts as a generic bottle develops into a gem-like bobble, with a glow and a smoothness, internal and external beauty, despite the tumultuous conditions it encounters over decades of tumbling and buffing in the harsh conditions of the waves and sand.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am blessed to do what I love the most in life which is Art, Although I am a grade student in the field of Biochemistry at Kent State University. My art is completely internally driven. It is about my emotions and passions of the moment. I personally think all great art is produced this way, whether it is Realism, Abstract, Impressionism or any other school of art. I would like to acknowledge that my father, who is a talented artist himself, gets a lot of credit in teaching me doing all aspects of arts and how to improve myself to become a better artist.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I been doing art since I was two years old; that is when I was able to hold a colored pencil in my hand. Throughout all my years however, this will be my very first Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show! The amount of influences that can affect the nature and creativity of any artist’s work is countless. Therefore, to pinpoint a true inspiration is difficult, to say. However, the least I can say what inspired me is my persistence to do a better job in the next project every time I finish one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A painting, sculpture, poem, piece of music, or other product of the creative arts, especially one with strong imaginative or aesthetic appeals me so that is what got me into this hobby. I didn't go into this hobby expecting any amazing results. As any kid, I mostly just wanted to learn some basics, make things that my parents and friends would tell me looked good! So I kept enjoying entertain myself</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">every time I work on any artistic project, not knowing that continuing perusing this path will led to develop my skills and make me better every time I finish any piece of art work. So, mission was accomplished!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A good, effective creative process does not need to be extensive, and all it could take are simple steps. The first step is to specifically deal with processes in the most basic, fundamental manner, like you will be doing them for the first time. This should allow you to run through the entire process and see which items need working on. The second step would be to make the process iterative. This means that you will need to adjust the processes according to new conditions and changes. Not adjusting processes to the new conditions would get you left behind, which eventually would make your work suffer, as well!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Somehow, I would like soon to turn a hobby into a profession and then into a lifestyle. One of the things I always wanted is to open an art gallery. The message I want to convey behind my work is Art is a word, and words and concepts change their meaning through time. So, Art is something you</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">could excel at through practice and challenging work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am a lifelong Clevelander...and wouldn't willingly live anywhere else! I have been working on this particular craft for about three years, but I have been creative for over 30 years. This will be my first time at the Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show in Chagrin Falls. When asked what inspires me to work...I say it's just ingrained in my brain - it's the way my brain works. I began this hobby because of my love of painting, but I never knew I had much talent, I just learn from trial and error! I always say, "g<span style="background-color: white;">o with it when you are creative, when not feeling creative, don't push it. Be organized." That's my creative process. My message to people is that there is great beauty in small things, and subtle is better.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How I got into my hobby... After visiting Haiti in 2015, I wanted to support the children I met there at Gertrude's Orphanage in Port Au Prince. I didn't have much extra money but I had a lot of beads from and old jewelry making hobby. It started with one bracelet and Ubuntu was born!</span></div>
<br /><div dir="auto">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How I discovered my talent.. I started making jewelry around age 7 or 8 and have just continued working on it of and on since then! I've definitely experienced the most growth in the 2 and a half years since starting Ubuntu. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My creative process.. I buy a bunch of beads, sit with Netflix on in the background and dream up the most beautiful things I can think of. I love anything that feels like a mermaid would wear it, or things that you'd wear in the summer so those are always driving forces behind the designs. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, the message behind my work is it's better to give than to receive! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’m an illustrator, designer, printmaker, educator, and (beekeeper!) living in the great city of Cleveland, OH. I actually was born in Wisconsin and grew up mostly in the Boston, MA area but my mom was raised in Cleveland Heights almost her whole life and my parents got married here so I’m happy to be back in the place where it all started. I love all things teeny and cute, and can almost always be found with a cup of tea in one hand and a pen in the other.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’ve been drawing since I was a tiny kid, and printmaking for the last 5 years. I love silkscreen because it allows me to get my illustrations onto everything—coasters, bags, hats, you name it. I love knowing how the whole process works. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is my very first Avant-Garde Craft Show and I’m really excited! I think I’ll learn a lot from the experience. I’d like to eventually work up to creating and illustrating full time so I think this is a great first step!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">What inspires me to create is first and foremost: joy. Most things I make come from my joy. I make cute happy plants because it makes me joyful, I make silly puns and shiny letters because I think those bring joy. Second, I create to make an impact. I try to bring in characters and themes into my work that are underrepresented or need some help having a louder voice in this world. I work a lot with kids of immigrant and refugee parents and a lot of times these kids are going through some really tough hardships. But we take time to make art about it and find the strength and joy in their lives. I try and bring their joy and their words of wisdom into my own work too because it’s so important to hold onto joy and strength when you or the people around you are struggling.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’ve always been a maker. Anything I see at the store I think “how could I make that at home?”. I had a very creative family growing up so that definitely helped. Aunts and grandmothers who could recreate or create any item of clothing or any tiled wall or any piece of pottery. Grandfathers and cousins who could draw beautifully. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I always loved art class in elementary and middle school but in high school I did performing arts instead: theater and chorus. I stopped taking visual art seriously until the end of my undergrad experience where I started taking printmaking and drawing classes again. I remember thinking “OH WOW! What have I been missing out on!!” Haven’t stopped creating since.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My creative process usually starts in my sketchbook. It’s full of ideas and scribbles, and notes of inspiration I get from the internet or images I see in my day to day life. From there I’ll decide if I want to make something one of a kind or a screenprinted item, and if I want to screenprint it I’ll design my stencils. I’ve recently started experimenting with little fake succulents for home decor, and that’s completely different. I’ve just been playing around with different things I have lying around on my shelves which has been really fun. I’m definitely an art supply hoarder. I have yarn, wire, glue, paper, paint and all sorts of random things from years ago that I assume will come in handy at some point, so I’ve been trying to draw from what I already have.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">In five years I’d like to have a thriving Etsy store and have consistent illustration work coming in. Right now it’s just a side hustle for me but I’m working on changing that. I’d still like to be tabling at craft shows and conventions, because I love talking to potential customers, displaying my stuff in a creative way, and meeting fellow artists. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">My work is all focused on joy and empowerment. It’s designed to make you feel happy, strong, silly, beautiful, and resilient, no matter who you are. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="gmail_sendername"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are Phil and Ginger Lautzenheiser and we call our small shop “Back Fence Turning”. We live on the family farm in southwestern Stark county where we have many types of trees. I started just over four years ago turning a few bowls and a vase from firewood and found I had a knack for making beautiful pieces. My wife started helping with the finishing and marking process and we tried a few local “craft shows” where we found that the public really liked our work. Three years ago we were working from our old damp bank barn basement milking parlor and we did our first Avant -Garde show in Chagrin Falls. That show was quite successful for us and we started to go to other juried shows. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="gmail_sendername"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Events led us to having the old barn torn down and having a new building built over the next year or so. To make a long story short, we now are both retired and have more time to devote to woodworking. We make wooden pots, bowls, vases, spoons and salad forks, wine bottle display balancers, business card holders, trivets, spinning tops and whistles all made made from damaged or fallen wood from our farm. We use black walnut, hickory, maple, pine, sassafras, cherry, oak, mulberry, beech, cedar and a few other species for our products. We have not yet started a web site but even though they are a lot of work, we have had a great time at art shows.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Alecia Woolley and I am the owner/creator of Alecia Marie Designs. My day job as a </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">banker has me working with numbers, accounts, and loan products all day so making jewelry allows me to use my creative side and come up with wearable art. I have nieces and nephews that love to give me feedback on what jewelry pieces they like and what I should make for them. My family and friends are so supportive and wonderful helping me in whatever way they can whether they live locally or a bit further away.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been making jewelry for almost two years now and enjoy taking classes and learning new skills to have numerous techniques to work with. I am excited to start working with more intricate wire-wrapping, clay and resin work this coming year. The Chagrin Falls show will be the first Avant-Garde Show I will attend. My inspirations for creating jewelry are all around me. Inspiration flows through favorite art pieces from impressionists to modern works, mixing different textures, discovering shapes and colors in nature, and even the colors and styles people choose to wear every day. After returning from a trip to Sedona and having so many ideas on how I wanted to create</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’ve always had an interest in fashion and art. I became so focused on my day job at the bank, I stopped creating for a while. During a trip to Sedona, Arizona with two friends, I was able to rediscover my passion for creating art through fashion. My friends reminded me how much I </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">enjoyed sketching outfits when I was younger and really encouraged me to go for what I love </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and make this a reality. So many ideas came to mind while I was there on what I wanted to bring to life. My process of creating a piece comes from a color scheme or combination I want to work with </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">or texture that I want the piece to have. I then pull items from my inventory to lay out, mixing </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and matching until I have the desired look. I also do custom work so will find the parts to match </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">what the client is looking for as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 5 years I see myself with a storefront showcasing everyday jewelry pieces as well as more artistic out-of- the box items. I will still be loving the process and enjoying how clients incorporate Alecia Marie Designs jewelry in to their wardrobes. The message behind my work is to feel beautiful in your own skin and appreciate how unique and special you are. I chose the dragonfly as my logo because it encompasses strength and resilience while being graceful and beautiful which is how I want people to feel when they complete their look with one or more of my pieces. Also, dragonflies kept showing up for me during my trip to Sedona as I was finding my passion. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">By day, I work in Research Administration IT, by night, I'm
working to perfect my sewing skills. I'm originally from Cleveland Heights, but
now live in Lakewood. I've been finding new creative outlets since childhood
but recently discovered sewing and fell in love with it. I am </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">fairly new to the sewing game. I started two years ago and Well
Traveled is a little over 1 year old.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">The Chagrin Falls weekend will be my first Avant-Garde show!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: center;"> Growing
up, I loved the anticipation and excitement prior to taking a trip. Travel was
an adventure and a treat. I like to sew items that bring back that feeling.
Also, I recently realized that custom work is the most rewarding for me. I
love making a bag for someone who had an idea in mind and when they see it

working with my hands, I'm not happy. I get such a kick out of creating
something from nothing. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">It came out of necessity actually. I moved out of the ceramics
studio where I worked but needed to make Christmas presents for my family. I
had a sewing machine but hadn't sewn anything before. I only had a couple weeks
to learn and after a couple YouTube videos, I was hooked. </span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">I typically get new ideas when I'm at work. I keep a notepad at
my desk for super detailed lists of what I need to create a new design. I love
the prototyping process, so I spend a lot of time working out the details and
making a pattern in different ways. I make notes about everything I do. There
are sketches all over the place. </span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My love for creating art started at a very young age, with my family. I grew up surrounded by family members that are artists, so it was only natural that I grew into one. My art started with photography and has been evolving into home decor, and accessories items.I started taking pictures ever since my father bought an old camera from a pawn shop and gave it to me to play with. I studied commercial photography at Ohio University specializing in food photography with a minor in fine art, and graduated in 2007. I really enjoy taking photos of my surroundings, and trying new techniques in my photography. I am currently experimenting with coasters, wine charms, and more useable forms or my photography.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My creative process all starts with an image. Once I find an image that I am happy with I take it into my studio and I start to think about what would I want to use this image for? I look around my house and literally say “would I hang this on my wall?” Or “ Would I carry this around with me to work?” and from there I start thinking about the different products that I could put the image on. I try to solve someones problem. Like make a good looking coaster, but it solves the problem of them getting damaged furniture. Win Win!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I
started my business in 2015 as a creative outlet. I really missed making with
my hands- everything we do in the Design industry is on the computer and when I
started my business it was an outlet to do something creative for myself. I
love the hands on approach with dying and sewing.</span></div>
<div class="Default">
<br /></div>
<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While
I was the Columbus College of Art and Design getting my fashion design degree I
took surface design classes and learned the art of hand dying. It was one of my
favorite classes and I hand-dyed most of the pieces I created for my final
Senior collection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Default">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I
start each season with collecting color research and inspiration for the new
collection. I collect inspiration from magazines, trend services, Pinterest,
nature etc.. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also research new
hand-dying techniques that will yield a new look for my items. I then do many
test color pieces to see what colors and techniques are working the best.</span></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When it comes time to dye, I
use premium quality base fabrics that are natural fibers such as silk, Rayon,
Bamboo-Rayon, and silk-rayon blends. I also use professional grade, permanent
dyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I use various Shibori (Japanese
resist dyeing) techniques as well as ice dying techniques to yield a variety of
looks. I sew and dye my items out of my Westerville, Ohio studio. Each item
approx takes 12 steps from start to finish to complete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hope to grow my business and have a stronger on-line presence as well traveling
though out the US to do more shows. I want to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind
pieces that makes the woman wearing them feel special and unique. I use natural

good on, you won’t want to take them off!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I am an art, craft and design enthusiast. An alumna of National
Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi, I also went to Kent State
University to complete a course in JacqCAD weaving under the guidance of,
Professor Janice Lessman-Moss. A keen weaver and textile designer, most of my
scarves have been exhibited and sold at Gail Percy's trunk show, Washington DC;
Gallery 143, Lazar's Art Gallery and Chestnut Hill Inc. in Canton and North
Canton, and 78th. Street Studios in Cleveland, Ohio. I have designed table
place-mats, cushion covers and table runners with the most exquisite digital
weave structures using cotton yarns, for Palette Designs Inc., New York.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> I have been doing
this for </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">20 yrs and this will be my first Avant-Garde
show.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

what got me into crafting.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style="background: white; color: #212121; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I discovered my talent for this craft throughout

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My everyday surroundings and the idea of everyone having a piece
of my art in others homes is really what inspires me. I started making signs at
Market District and quickly realized it’s something that people would
appreciate owning. My family persuaded me to pursue my art talents since I
wasn’t very skilled in Math or Gym ;-)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My creative process is a roller coaster. I get really inspired
and then do a few days of researching to process my ideas better. Then I start
a bunch of projects at once and that could take me a day, week or even a month
to complete my original ideas. From there, I tweak and readjust my art
and perfect my thoughts constantly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I've been crafting since I was a small child. I remember
making Christmas ornaments when I was six or seven. My mom still uses
them on her Christmas tree! My dad would buy me different craft kits at
the craft store in the mall. With these kits I taught myself how to do many
crafts. Many of those skills come in handy with the different jewelry
techniques I use. I have been seriously beading for about five
years. I started with wire wrapping (took a class) and have experimented
with many other techniques since then.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

around me inspires me to create! My children. My husband. My
beautiful dog, Senga. Nature. Flowers. Being at our boat on
Lake Erie. Everything I see and read. I'm kind of eclectic in my jewelry
making. Today I might be into leather or suede and tomorrow resin
or crocheting, or sterling silver and Swarovski. I have been creating for as
far back as I can remember. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">When I started making jewelry for myself (or as gifts) people
would comment on the woven bracelets or crocheted necklaces that I wore. They
liked it, admired it, asked me to make them one with custom colors or
materials. It's been fun experimenting! </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As far as my creative process...the ideas are plentiful. I
come up with an idea, gather the materials, adjust until I have laid out what I
want do. Combining color theory with breaking the rules seems to fit my
process!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Creating Jewelry is a hobby for me. I suspect it be that
until I retire and that is a ways off. I bead for family and friends and
co-workers. I sell at Advant-Garde shows. Beading is a stress
reliever for me - come home from a hard day at work and there I am, at my
beading desk, exercising my creative side!</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">My message is anything is possible; have fun with it. That's
what I love about doing a custom piece for someone - You really get to be
creative for that one person, possibly in a way you might not have otherwise
without their input. I have broad interests and I try all sorts of things
regularly. I don't like to stick to one technique so my work varies.

am a full-time RN at Cleveland Clinic working on the Heart & Lung
Transplant unit and certified Yoga Instructor. Working in a hospital
environment can sometimes (most times) be a very stressful environment.
Yoga/exercise and expressing myself through crafting has helped me immensely to
relieve stress from my work life. It has also helped me to separate
work and everyday life. When I am not working, doing yoga, or
crafting, I also enjoy cooking/baking, the outdoors, reading, and traveling.</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Wasted is Job skills training program for ladies who are coming home from
prison and/or coming out of addiction! We have a sewing room set up in Holy
Spirit Church located in Akron. We were formed by TRY, also an employment
skills training program, only for men instead! We operate Tuesday, Wed
and Thursdays every week, crafting lovely items from material that would
have otherwise been thrown away!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In
2014, I joined NOT WASTED 3 days after being released from a stay at a women’s
prison in Cleveland. After graduating the program I became staff and now am the
program coordinator! I now get to help the ladies the same way I was helped and
get to speak hope and life to them!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

WASTED we upcycle materials including, bibs, bags and wallets all made from

antique clock/watch parts and bicycle chains!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

participating again! As last time, everyone was so kind and very helpful!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I
started sewing when I was a little girl with my grandma who helped raise me!
She would give me washcloths and let me sew on them until I progressed into
making pillows, and then hemming my own clothes. And now making products that
people actually want to buy! Not only do I sew, I teach others how to sew as
well, thanks gram, lol!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Working
with the ladies in the sewing room is such a joy, there is always peace and
happiness there. You can always find music playing and the sound of laughter
down the hallways of the church at any given time!! Its really fun to lay out a
20 – 30 foot billboard and watch everyone’s creative gears start turning and
picturing how a bag will be made from what piece of a giant picture. Or to see
ladies digging thru and disassembling old clocks to find the exact piece to
finish off a beautiful set of earrings!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At NOT
WASTED we not only teach ladies to sew, but we teach them how to show up to
work on time. How to dress, talk and act appropriately in a work environment.
Most of our ladies have never even held a job before, so they are learning
valuable life lessons and we are “giving them a hand up, and not a hand out”.
On top of jobs skills training, we offer life coaching, health and nutrition
classes, exercise, cooking, Bible studies, Outreach opportunities, financial
and budgeting classes, spiritual support and many other important tools for
them to have a successful life!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

buying so many candles over the years I would always think to myself, “If I

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then I
discovered the fiber art world. Knitting lead to spinning my own wool, and on
to weaving. Making art cloth and embellished denim jackets. Ice dyeing takes
over in the summer and fall. I love unique glass beads, so bracelets are in my
crafting life now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext;"><b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Meet Jenny Campbell from

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’ve been a freelance cartoonist and illustrator for almost 30
years. Originally from Arizona, then California, I migrated to
Philadelphia when I started freelancing, and eventually landed in Chagrin
Falls, where I’ve been for the past 21 years. In those 29+ years of
freelancing, I’ve illustrated more than 15 children’s books, more than 200
educational textbooks and done a myriad of other freelance artwork from
spaghetti sauce labels to tattoos to artwork on the sides of vans. I’ve
also been the cartoonist/writer for the nationally syndicated cartoon strip
“Flo & Friends” since 2002. Having gotten a syndicated cartoon strip
just as newspapers were beginning to die, I’ve never made it past 30 papers,
but my strip runs as far west at Kailua Kona, Hawaii; and as far east as
Newark, NJ. I’m also an avid animal person, and have done all the
artwork, including the logo, for Rescue Village in Geauga County, since its
opening in 2003. In addition, I did the artwork on the Ohio “pet plate”
license plate; all the artwork for PetFix NE Ohio, including the characters on
their mobile spay-neuter van; and I’m now contributing my artwork to the City
Dogs program at Cleveland City Kennel. In the past few years I’ve started
doing a lot of painting just for fun, mostly ridiculous animal art, and have
been donating them to fundraisers for my animal welfare groups, and most
recently, for The Gathering Place. Much of the work I’m hoping to put
into the Avant-Garde shows are new paintings.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Personally, I live in Chagrin Falls with my partner of almost 30 years –
a Pulitzer-prize winning photographer. We live on three acres on the edge of a
ravine, with Rizz, a rescued former-feral cat who’s grown WAY too fat and happy
since she found her forever home; and a brand new puppy, Tanner, who recently
came to Rescue Village on a transport from Alabama, and who we figure is a mix
of no fewer than 14 breeds. My passions are drawing ridiculous artwork;
hard laughter; good, cheap pinot grigio; family and friends; and tennis. This
will be my first Avant-Garde show!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’m
a people pleaser, and there’s nothing I love more in the world than making
people laugh, and occasionally, cry. And being a cartoonist, I’m in a
unique position to be able to do both of those things with the characters I
create. I also feel like I’ve got some good stories to tell, and my
artwork is a great way to tell those stories!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Very
early! When all I wanted to do in school was draw cartoons. In
Kindergarten, we got a mimeographed scene one day that we were supposed to
color: trees, grass, sky. And I remember thinking, “what if other
kids don’t see things the same way I see them? What if ‘blue’ to me, is
actually ‘red’ to another kid?” Pretty deep thoughts for a
5-year-old. But I tested my theory, and colored my grass blue, my trees
purple and my sky orange. And, I got an F in coloring. Anyway,
drawing when I should’ve been paying attention was a trend throughout my early
school years. My first crush was a boy named Connie in first grade, and I
expressed my interest in him by drawing comic books for him… The Adventures of
Fox and Rabbit. It worked. He liked me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My
creative process is like anything else; it’s hit or miss. I find that
some days I’m TOTALLY in the zone, whether I’m painting, working on a
commercial cartooning job, or writing gags for my cartoon strip.
Sometimes you sit down and it’s literally just falling out of you. But
there are a LOT of other days when I allot the time, and sit there for hours
with NOTHING happening. So, the creative process is basically carving out
the time, arming yourself with whatever you’re going to need, and then just
hoping it’s one of those GOOD days. I’m also a night owl, so a lot of
those times when I’m in the zone happen late at night when everyone else is
asleep. That’s a wildly creative time for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well,
I’m 62 and plan to be doing this until my arthritic fingers can no longer grip
a pen. But in five years, I’d love to be doing more artwork for FUN,
for me, and for shows; than HAVING to take every job that comes along just to
pay the mortgage. It’s been a wonderful lifestyle for almost 30 years,
but it hasn’t always been easy, and I still have very lean months. I
think I’m on track, though, in the next few years to be able to pick and choose
what I work on a little more than I have in the past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
message behind my work is that if you can’t laugh at yourself, and at the world
around you, then you’re screwed! My cartoon strip is about an ensemble
cast of senior citizens who are “aging with an attitude”. And since I’m
becoming my own demographic group, I’m learning first-hand that aging is
one area where you have GOT to find the humor, or life will be much harder than
it needs to be. And, my other artwork, I hope, will just make people
smile, and occasionally laugh out loud… animals doing what they do, and people
doing what they do, and sometimes, vice versa!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Upon retirement, I began soap making as a
hobby.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Soon I discovered that making

more than a year of trial and error, I was confident enough to sell the soap
that I made.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">With much help and support

color and fragrance.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Although I do not

soap making class.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I was fascinated with
the soap making process and the outcome: </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">my first batch of cold process soap.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">My first batch of soap was a success. </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">My family tested it and gave it good
reviews.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I assembled supplies at home in
my kitchen, bought a soap making book, selected some essential oils for
fragrance, and began making small batches with trial recipes.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Because of the positive input from my family
and friends and my interest in combining the oils, essential oils, and organic
botanicals grown in my yard, i.e., lavender, I continued to experiment making
small batches of soap with a variety of recipes and essential oils.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">My creative process is spurred by my interest in
perfecting soaps that I am confident in labeling and selling to people who pick
up my bars of soaps at various retail stores, garden centers, art and craft
shows, and gift shops.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I am pleased with
the positive feedback that I get with each new recipe that I try.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I am also fascinated with the process
involved in making a batch of soap:</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">mixing the various oils with the essential oils for fragrance, distilled
water, sodium hydroxide, and organic botanicals.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I am not a chemist, but I have learned a lot
about the chemical reaction of these mixtures and what goes into making soap as
a result of combining each of these individual products.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">My goal for my soap business includes
introducing new recipes and essential oils as well as placing my soap in
additional retail establishments.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I will
continue making each batch of soap by hand in order to maintain control of the
recipe and final product.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I believe it
is important to maintain consistency with my product from quality, labeling,
packaging, and presentation in a display.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">I believe branding is essential.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">I want consumers to know when they see Basin
Soapworks soap or hear about my soap, they are confident that the soap they
purchase is a high-quality bar of soap that has been made by hand with pride,
contains no artificial ingredients, and has been tested by my family and
friends.</span><br />

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since this my first Avant-Garde show, I thought I would take a minute and introduce myself. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started claying </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">over</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">13 years ago to help deal with a personal loss. I picked up a book and made a scarecrow by carefully following the directions. Well, that poor little scarecrow didn’t make the oven baking and wound up in the trash. Never one to be defeated,</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I tossed the book aside and used the knowledge I had garnered, and started over, this time doing things my way!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That little scarecrow soon became santa and a cow and the rest is history. I had found my niche.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I learned that I couldn’t draw to save my life but I could sculpt anything that entered my mind!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everything I make is handmade and I enjoy challenging myself to come up with new ideas every year. This year you will see tons more holiday items and Halloween is shaping up to be spectacular! My challenge this year was to make at least 20 pieces for every holiday. I have Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day and Easter ready to go and I’ve also started other lines such as Artic Antics and Mutts and Meows.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each year I also take on a cause and make a special piece that I donate the proceeds to. In the past I had a co-worker who’s daughter was battling breast cancer so I made an angel that I sold for $5.00 each . I was able to donate over $500.00 to her just after 3 shows. I believe in the power of giving back. I have the talent to make a difference and I want to share it. This year I will donate the proceeds from my Mutts and Meows line. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">My name is Danielle, I'm a 30 year old mother to a beautiful two year old girl.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">What got me into my hobby?</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> Honestly? It was a book! I cannot remember what it was called exactly, but they were describing this apple cinnamon tea that sounded delicious and when I couldn't find it, I decided to make it myself which led me to wanting to craft more things from scratch. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">I began crafting with the apple cinnamon tea that I made from scratch and began trying my hand in other</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> arts & crafts such as making hair bows, dream catchers, bibs, and jewelry but then one day when making bath bombs and soap I decided that it was my favorite thing to create and have stuck with it since.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">My five year vision.. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Hopefully a storefront, owning my own shop outside of my home has always been a goal for me since I started 6 years ago. With just this year beginning to sell the bath and body products that I make, this dream is becoming more and more of a reality for me. I am currently going back to school to get a business degree so that I can do all that I would like to for my business.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">The message behind my work.. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Natural products do not need to break the bank. The items I make are at the lowest prices that I can possibly offer and it's not just for the purpose of sales. I know how hard it is to find bath and body products that don't irritate your skin, products that you feel you can trust not to have harsh chemicals in them, and even products that actually work! Some big companies that offer natural products charge you an arm and a leg for a bottle of lotion, but if I can offer people a similar item for a fraction of the cost it is worth it to me.</span></span></div>

That’s what makes this jewelry more fun and exciting.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Message behind my work.. Love what you do, and do what you love! That is actually one of the charms that I put on my bracelets. I relax when I make my bracelets and enjoy creating all of them. It’s actually a difficult decision deciding which beads to put together :) because you don’t want to keep making the same ones you love over and over again. You don’t want to see everyone wearing the same bracelet. You want each bracelet to be unique. Every person is unique, so every bracelet should be too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started selling some of my fine art prints (digital photos), hand painted coffee cups and vases as well as my decoupaged coasters at flea markets, arts/crafts shows and online almost 2 years ago.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I get inspired by the idea of mixing patterns, designs, various types of media and textures in a different way. For example, I decoupaged a beer mug with an article from the Civil War, an item, which sold on my Etsy site about 12 hours after posting the listing. I also decoupaged a couple set of coasters with duct tape (photo #1 attached of the pink ones).<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’m also inspired by the designs of other artisans. I’ll see a dress in a store that has a unique combination of colors or maybe a tablecloth or something, and I’ll take a photo of it. Then, I’ll create something similar to that pattern or color combination like the photo attached of the curved black vase (2<sup>nd</sup> photo). That black and gray design was inspired by some scrapbook paper I saw at Michael’s. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How I got into my craft.. I’ve also been interested in art, and when I lost my job at Chase Bank, I decided to sell a few of my photos at a flea market close to my house, and a woman drove all the way from Springfield to buy a copy of my “spooky tree” (3<sup>rd</sup> photo attached). At that point, I decided to create a website on Etsy and another one on Ebay. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How I discovered my talent.. Hmmm… the story above confirmed that maybe, I could make a living at selling my artwork. I’m still working part-time for William-Sonoma as a call center agent, but I’m hoping that in a year or so, I’ll be able to quit my “day” job. Then, last fall, I hand painted a set of ceramic coasters that sold to a lady in Santiago, Chile, about 2 hours after uploading the listing on Etsy (4<sup>th</sup> photo). So, I’ve been spending more time painting and less time on my photography since then. </span></div>

My entire life I’ve always been the odd duck at every party, every teaching job/office job, every classroom growing up, etc. My own mother called me a “weirdo” (in an affectionate way) because I love Shakespeare as much as I love science fiction and horror movies and books as well, and I love abstract art as much as more classic art like that of Rembrandt and such. And I hope my art reflects that <i>anything goes</i> kind of attitude that there are no rules in art. I like what I like, and I’ll continue to create what I think is interesting whether anyone else likes it or not…:)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Aunt Julie is the person who introduced me to making beaded jewelry.I was 10 years old and visited my aunt in Columbus and she made amazing jewelry and I knew it was something I wanted try. I entered my first necklace into a contest at a bead store she shopped at and I won 1st prize for my age group. From then on I was hooked!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My creative process usually starts with me looking at all the beads I have and matching what I think might look good together. I could be just one color or multiple colors. I then lay out the pattern I am trying to accomplish on my board and if I think it looks good laid out then I will start putting the beads together on the eye pins. If I'm not feeling how the pattern or beads look then I can completely scratch the idea and move on to something else.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How I got into my craft.. a few years <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span>ago I stumbled upon jewelry and dichroic glass
creations by accident, but still had a ball with everything you could make with
a little imagination. The pieces I made for myself caught the eye of
quite a few women who asked if I would make pieces for them, and so began my
jewelry business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the market became
over saturated with jewelry I wrapped up that craft and began thinking of
another field to pursue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My sister
and I researched what we thought we might like to do and decided to try making candles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far, so good!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span>As for crafting, I've always
liked to be creative in some fashion, for as long as I can remember - whether I
was writing poetry, short stories for my boys when they were younger, always
rearranging and redecorating my home, my former jewelry business,
and the list goes on. My tastes, likes and dislikes allow me to create
something unique, as I usually lean towards making things that aren't
mainstream or cookie cutter copies of what everyone else has.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When we started the candles it was a learning
curve, but we taught ourselves quite well. However, most anyone can make
candles with a little instruction, which meant we had to standout and come up
with new ideas. That's how our tealight
vases came to be, albeit completely by accident. I had intended to create
a candle vase, but after several attempts it just wasn't working. Hard as
I tried, it wasn't perfect and I couldn't put an inferior product out there for
sale. So one day I tried a totally different
approach and, voila! Our tealight vase was created. It's a creation
no other vendor has and it is truly one of a kind. They are created to be
a part of anyone's home décor, whether to blend with a current color layout, or
to add a pop of color to any room. They
are decorative, yet can be totally functional if desired. Each vase is unique and the color
combinations and patterns are limitless.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span>The creative process is not a
process at all. It's usually something as simple as seeing the color of
clothes or home decor, or anything at all really, and if the colors
jump out at me then I start to envision what a vase would look like. From
there I play with my colors and patterns and see what happens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never stop thinking about new techniques to
try, or new products to create.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My five year goal... Honestly, I really haven't thought that far in advance. I would like to think Candle Vase Creations
will be going strong and have a solid customer base. That being said, ultimately my sister and I
would love to have our own storefront.
If we're going to dream, we're going to dream big! We know anything worth having takes a lot of
hard work, so that’s exactly what we plan to do.</span></span></div>

I searched the Internet for information about felting and taught myself the art of wet felting, which in turn, I created my own unusual style. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My interest began suddenly, I was inspired by the work of one master, and it has continued for 5 years. Learning never stops, as I’m constantly learning how to use new types of wool, combinations of wool and different fibers and fabrics. Felt is the oldest form of fabric and it is becoming popular as people rediscover the versatility and durability of it. Since it may be the oldest fabric known to man, there are many references to felt in ancient writings since it’s not woven and doesn’t require a loom for its production!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The process of felting doesn’t need expensive materials or equipment. Just about anyone can add soapy water to fleece, make a felted mass, control the outcome and then quality felt is achieved through experience and learning. Aside from choosing the best type of fiber for the application, one must consider the layout of fibers for consistent felt, the weight of wool in relation to the area of its distribution to determine to shape, the amount of soap to use and the temperature of water.</span></div>

My accessories found their owners not only in America but also in other continents - Europe, Asia, Australia and even in Africa :) and it inspires me to create more!

I love finding unique pieces of clothing—that can be used as the focus for beginning a newly refashioned garment. For example, a vintage Bob Dylan concert tee shirt. I kept it for 2 years until I had a vision and then a design. (aside: unfortunately my workspace is full of these “possibilities” which are taking over). I refashioned the shirt and added denim and lace for a rock’n tunic. </span></span></div>

We learned that there aren't any companies local to Ohio with the ability to cut honey bees from structures they have inhabited. Our goal was to save the bees and also help people remove large colonies they have been dealing with for many years. All the honey purchased from our business is to help us buy more equipment and save more bees.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our business started in 2013 with a simple swarm removal in Hartville, Ohio, but the following year we increased to 20 hives. Every year we grow a little, breed our genetics, and help local beekeepers increase their populations. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Saving bees means we are saving out future. One out of every three bites of food we ingest at every meal is possible due to honey bees. If we do not increase our populations, we will continue to risk our food supply and the cost of living will continue to increase. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We hope to eventually supply a large number of honey bee colonies to other beekeepers with Ohio winter surviving genetics. We also hope to eventually have a store front where people can buy various products like our raw honey, bee bread, and propolis items. Save the bees!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Jerica Hoffman from Jerica's Jems...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My profession is physical therapy, but I have loved making beaded jewelry for most of my life. I am married, have three dogs, and live in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. This will be my first Avant-Garde show!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I first learned at the age of eight how to make Native American beaded earrings from an elder woman at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. I was hooked and made my mom buy me beads, and my addiction grew from there.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I get inspiration from current and recent trends in fashion jewelry, but I also pull from nature and classic timeless styles that will never go out of style. I love color and mixing different colors and styles. Sometimes it starts with just one bead and builds from there. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have always needed some sort of creative outlet in my life and have taken many art classes, but I have always loved everything about jewelry. So having the chance to learn the traditional beading of the Native Americans got me interested in the culture and beautiful things they create, as well as how they find their inspiration.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well… My mother thinks I’m an exciting, interesting person. That should say it all. But allow
me to indulge. I’m mildly good at a lot of things. Below, you will find proof of that last
statement.
Ex-B Average Student, Kindergarten through 12th Grade - won multiple coloring contests
during this period.
Ex-Pizza Topper & Order Taker
Ex-Professional Ballroom Dancer - closet full of trophies. Need I say more.
Ex-Cocktail Waitress
Ex-Gigging Singer Songwriter
Ex-Used Book Seller
Ex-Talent Rep in LA
Ex-Golf Bar Cart Beer Slinger
Ex-Floor Scrubber
Ex-Furniture Flipper
Ex-Construction Worker (believe it!)
Ex-Etsy Jewelry Maker (currently selling said made jewelry)
Current - AMAZING All Natural, Luxury, Artisan, Vegan SOAP CREATOR and SELLER!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In addition to the above:
- Vegan/Once a Year Cheese Eater
- Wife/Girlfriend/Fiance to AMAZING Husband/Boyfriend/Fiance - It’s hard to explain.
- I cry at everything. Mostly the good stuff.
- My friends called me Alex, Al or affectionately Bunny(only my husband calls me this.
Might have something to do with the size of my teeth). My family calls me Judge,
Jahdge or Ja Ja. Nickname as a child. It stuck. Feel free to call me any of the above.
- I LOVE nature, the seasons and holidays. I’m like Martha Stewart except I don’t
bake, or build birdhouses. Nor do I throw amazing chic parties and decorate my front
door with wreaths handmade out of Horsehair and Modge Podge. And I dress
everyday in one of my hubby’s dirty, old button up shirts, soap splatters and all.
Sweat pants. Sweats are an everyday, all day thing. Don’t do the makeup thing
either. Nor do I own a home in Maine. Other than that, I’m just like her.
- I am the greatest, unsalted, vegan soup maker anywhere on the planet.
- I have self administered a coffee enema.
- We don’t have children.. Yet… but we do have stuffed bears that we talk to… and
who talk back. They can be quite ornery at times.
- My 21st Great Grandfather is Sir Edmund “Lord Justice” Anderson (1530-1605). Sat
as a Judge at the trial of Mary Queen of Scots.
- I can’t bend my thumb without bending the rest of my fingers. And I think we’ll leave
it at that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It wasn’t until about a year and a half ago that I made my first loaf of all natural cold processed soap. I was hooked, testing my creations on willing family and friends. And when they began to report back to me with wonderful stories of the benefits they were receiving, I thought maybe this could be my way to impart a little bit of happiness, health and luxury onto the world.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am very excited to report that this will be my first ever Avant-Garde Show. And when I
mentioned to my mother that it would be in Chagrin Falls, she said “Oh my goodness, that’s
where Ed Asner filmed The Gathering. It is such a charming little town”. She’ll be there with
me, taking orders and packaging soap up. Thanks Ma!
Side note: I have never seen The Gathering.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How I got started? That’s a great question. It’s in the genes I guess. The arts run in the family. Actors and
musicians, artist and writers and dancers. I would probably say I’m equally left brained and
right brained though. Soap, I think, is a combination of the two. I can’t get so free spirited
where I deviate from the recipe. Otherwise, I’d have soupy mess on my hands, but I’m able
to get creative within the boundary of what the science of it will allow. In some cases, it
means you must be more creative in order to get what you want when certain restrictions
are put on you. I like that.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before soap and body scrubs, I spent the first 8 years after high school competing
professionally in Ballroom Dance; traveling and dressing up in fancy costumes. Spray tans
are a must! And because I was always active, I was never aware of the havoc I was
wreaking on the inside of my body. Up at 4am applying fake eyelashes and doing whatever
I could to drastically change the color of my skin from pasty white to orangy brown.
Working off of 3 hours of sleep, I’d down a Red Bull before the sun came up, after I’d
already had my coffee. My partners and I were not the most health conscious of people. Our
lunch usually consisted of some sort of vending machine slop and of course another Red
Bull.
It was years later that the stress of it all began to catch up. At age 29, my health had
seriously declined. I could no longer climb a flight of stairs without needing to take a break
halfway up. My blood pressure was off the charts. I would get heart palpitations, headaches
and would go through grueling bouts of depression. I was not overweight, but my body
could have cared less. It was letting me know the damage I had done to it. “I was too
young” I told myself, to be having problems like these. I desperately needed a solution and I found one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After searching the internet, I came across a documentary called Forks Over
Knives. Along with my husband’s support (who happens to be a chef), we watched it, and
we both agreed to a date we would eat our last piece of meat.
After beginning this vegan journey, within two weeks I began to see significant
improvement and within two months, all of my aches, pains and worries had dissipated. I
was a brand new person. My attitude had changed, my creativity flourished, my enthusiasm
and excitement for life was off the charts, and I’ve never gone back. Eh… well… to be
honest, we have cheese about once a year. It’s a big to-do in my house, like Christmas or
the Superbowl.
What does this have to do with Soap you might ask? After I started to become conscious
about the things I was putting in my body, I was able to see the effects of the products I
was putting on the outside of my body. The store bought, chemical laced, lotions, soaps and
shampoos were next on my list to kick to the curb. It wasn’t until years later that I began
making my own soap and it has been a great discovery for me, both in health and in
creativity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did not seek out a hobby or craft to fill my free time. I have plenty of those. This was
almost out of necessity. And now they are created out of love.
6. How did you discover your talent
Which one?
HA!
Just kidding. But not really.
Um… I think I knew I had a knack for making cold process soap when I tested my first
recipe, it came out beautifully and I fell in love with it. Not Drying. Velvety to the touch and
lasting. Yep. I make some pretty killer soap.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My creative process is a bit experimental I would say. I create the essential oil blends myself, which after they
have cured with the soap can often times come out slightly different than what you had
imagined. That’s part of the fun. But I rarely deviate from my plant oil ratios. Where I get to
have some fun is in the coloring and the scents. All natural of course.
My absolute favorite part of the soap making process is slicing each individual bar. It’s
almost like slicing through a marble cake. You really don’t know what design you’ve created
until you cut through it.
I also design and create the packaging myself using a process called eco print in which I boil
leaves, twigs and flowers with paper and voila! Beautiful packaging. Although the soap is
the main attraction, I take just as much time in creating what I wrap around the soap as I
do the actual soap itself.
I love the idea that I can take something as utilitarian as a bar of soap and turn it into a
luxury work of art. Nothing will make you feel more like a million bucks than a luxury item
that’s original purpose and creation was out of necessity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where do I see myself in 5 years with your business?
I would absolutely love to see my products in multiple boutiques and stores. One of the
more charming aspects of any crafters work is that it’s handmade. It’s what makes it so
valuable and appreciated. I would never want to lose that. So the sky’s the limit, even if I
have to be pouring unsaponified soap batter into bathtub size molds in order to keep up
with the demand, I will always try to keep the brand, You Bath & Beauty, artisan and hand
crafted. Unless someone offers me a big pile of money. Bags and bags of money. Then I
may reconsider. Just saying.
9. What is the message behind your work?
You. That is the message. Take time for YOU. Take care of YOU. Pamper YOU. Love YOU.
Spend a little time everyday doing what YOU love until you are overflowing with so much
love and gratitude that it spills over into other people’s lives. That is the message. That is
my message.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">I am
a college student who has a passion of searching for beach glass on the shores
of Lake Erie and making beautiful pieces of art out of it. I have been making
and selling beach glass art for a little over two years.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;">I am inspired by the simple things in life. It
amazes me how these simple pieces of beach glass can make such unique and
beautiful pieces of art.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">My hobby of searching for beach glass has grown
into also making things from it. I used to just find the beach glass and keep
it in a jar, but then I decided I should do something with the pieces that
other people could enjoy. It is interesting when looking at my art to see all
of the different shapes, sizes, and words that may be still on the glass. It is
thought-provoking in the fact that this glass could have been dropped in to
lake from hundreds of miles away.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">I discovered my talent by testing out different
methods and seeing what was the best. It took about 2 months to find the most
effective way to make successful pieces of art. Since I initially started, I
have grown from just making framed art to now making beach glass soap and
ornaments. View more of my work at: </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/beachglassart/">https://www.facebook.com/beachglassart</a>.</span></div>

I Gotta Have That!...</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi! I'm Wendy, and my sister-in-law and I are behind O.M.G. I Gotta Have That! We've been sisters-in-law for over 20 years now. We both have full time employment, but our dream is to have our own art gallery and create art full time! We've been doing our art pieces and table line together for two years now.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We started creating art together as a form of stress-relief and for fun. Much to our delight, others loved our work and began buying it! So, we were inspired to continue creating and sharing our creations with others. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We discovered our talent when we were gardening and decided to make a bird's nest out of normal metal plant hangers. We turned every day boring metal baskets into beautiful, unique plant hangers. Once we got inspired, we kept coming up with more and more ideas together. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We love finding random items and figuring out how to give them a new purpose. We may see something that is a complete "nothing" and create something awesome! Even in the old and sometimes seemingly useless, there is a hidden and unexpected treasure waiting to be discovered.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi! I'm Rosanne and I'm a long-time Cleveland area resident. I'm married with two grown children and I'm a banker by day and beader/crafter by night! I'm loving life!

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been crafting since I was a small child. I remember making Christmas ornaments when I was young, my mom still uses them on her tree! My dad always bought me all sorts of craft kits, which I used to teach myself a variety of crafts. Many of those skills still come in handy with the different jewelry techniques I use today. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm inspired by everything around me. I'm kind of eclectic in my jewelry making. Today I might be into leather or paracord and tomorrow resin or crocheting. I come up with an idea, gather the materials, and then make adjustments until the piece fits my vision. Combining color theory with breaking the rules seems to be a good way to describe my process!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My message is that anything is possible; have fun with it. One of my favorite things is making custom pieces for people. You really get to be creative for that person, providing a unique opportunity to be inspired by another person. I have broad interests and I try all sorts of things regularly. I don't like to stick to one technique so my work varies.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi! I'm Megan and I'm the owner of Go To Cookie. All through school, art was very important to me, but right after high school. I decided I wanted to take a different direction so I became a cake decorator. I took a variety of pastry courses to help better my skills. I have two main supporters in my life, my customers, who keep me motivated and keep my passion alive, and my husband, who has allowed me to stay home full time to focus on my dream.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been baking for as long as I can remember, but I've only been in the cookie business for a little over a year. I opened my business on Etsy back in 2015 and was pleasantly surprised by the positive reactions to my products. This will be my first show of any kind! I'm excited to put myself out there and connect locally!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am inspired by everything really, colors, scents, even objects. Ideas are constantly flowing through my mind. During certain seasons, I tend to have more productivity for designs, as I get excited to bring new items to my customers for the holidays.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Christine Hespen from The Chris Co...</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi! I'm Christine and I'm a born and raised Clevelander! I obtained a Fine Arts degree from BGSU in 2004, with a focus in photography. Since college, I've been working in corporate America and working in the arts as a hobby. I've been creating jewelry for 10+ years, but I took a 2 year hiatus and started back up this year!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bright, vivid color that surrounds us in this world truly is what inspires me. I love to take a color (or colors) and create a piece that can make me feel just as excited as when I first see a great color in our environment.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I found out I had talent when it came to making jewelry when I watched what others created and tried to copy their pieces. Once I started making my own variations of what I saw other doings, I realized it came easily to me.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi! I'm Sonja and I'm the owner of The Pup Artist. While I've always had an interest in drawing, I am relatively new to painting, having just started in 2014 after I received an acrylic paint set as a gift. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My first attempts at painting were of my dachshund, Smudge, and all the wonderful wildlife in the backyard of my suburb Cleveland area home. Soon, friends and family were requesting portraits of their pets too, and thus, my business was born.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I'm not painting commissioned pet portraits, I go back to painting the neighborhood wildlife. Animals are still my favorite subjects, and I always start my paintings with the eyes - they're so soulful and can really convey their character.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A day seems empty now if I don't have some sort of painting underway. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to paint, and I hope others enjoy viewing my work as much as I enjoy creating it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really enjoy making each bow and waiting to see how they come out. We use many premium designer fabrics, so no two bows are ever the same. I love seeing them on my granddaughter and, luckily, she is happy to wear them!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi! I'm Marcia and I'm a full time yoga teacher in Cleveland, as well as a batik artist and freelance writer. My husband is a sculptor and guitar maker, so looking for my own medium over the years was a process, but once I found batik, I knew it was the art form for me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm inspired to create by all aspects of life, especially nature, yoga, people, and music. I also love the Native American medicine cards and making batik animals from those, so people can find out what a specific animal symbolizes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once I am inspired by something, I draw it up and make a template by hand. Then I go through various other steps. It's a complex process but I'm always excited to see the end result and how my items are different each time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My message is all about connection with each other and the universe, whether it be through yoga or more ethereal practices, nature, or music. This is important to me, which is also why 3 Oms Batik Boutique gives $1 from each sale to charities that support human rights, animal welfare, and the environment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been making items out of my kitchen for friends for around 20 years, but I just recently got licensed to produce and sell these items. This will be my first Avant-Garde show!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I like the balance between a technical profession and a creative hobby. My entire adult life I have always done creative things; quilting, stitching, cooking, and other things like that. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love to cook and make gifts from my kitchen. I discovered my talent after receiving a lot of positive feedback from my friends after giving them edible gifts. If you enjoy good food and quality food products, you will enjoy what I produce. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am a wife, a mother of two little sweeties, and an 8th grade science teacher. I became interested in essential oils in 2014. My goal was to improve the overall health and well-being of my family and use less of what was in my medicine cabinet. That is what inspired me to create jewelry that was pretty, fun, eclectic, and still in line with more core beliefs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was using essential oils and figured there had to be a prettier way to wear them, and that's how my craft came about! I ordered some essential oil diffuser lockets online and then begged my friends to raid their jewelry boxes, I would take anything they didn't want!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love finding one charm that I really like and then build around that as a focal piece until I feel that the necklace is complete. Anything and everything inspires me to create! The hardest part is finding the time to sit down and craft. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The core collection of my pieces are made from recycled jewelry, giving new life to old pieces. The essential oil component can be personalized and tailored to the needs of the individual wearing the piece. The scent can also be changed depending on the mood or need of the wearer. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Kellie Lupica from Haven at Foxwood Farm...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For as long as I can remember, I have felt the most comfortable in the company of animals. I decided at a very young age that I wanted to create a sanctuary where farm animals can live out their lives in the safety of knowing and feeling that no harm would ever come to them. Haven at Foxwood Farm is a place of peace and tranquility. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I want my buyers to know that the time, work, and effort dedicated to each item is an exact reflection of how the money raised will be used, 100% o all proceeds go directly to the rescue and rehabilitation of farm animals. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I discovered my talent several years ago after deciding to make gifts for people instead of buying them at a store. The positive feedback and responses I've received over the years has given me the courage and confidence to take on new opportunities. Now, I inspire to introduce a little of me and a little "farmhouse chic" into everyone's home.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The message that I want to send is this: the first step to following your dream is to begin working with the things you love.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is my first time at the Chagrin Falls Art Show. And I was born in Huntington, West Virginia. But I’ve lived in Brooklyn, NY, Johnson City, Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Athens while attending Ohio University. However, I received a B.A. in English from Marshall University. I moved to Columbus in 1995 where I live with my husband, our son, Baxter, and 3 cats. And our oldest, Chris, now lives in Florida with his wife, Alyssa.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I branched out into decoupage after happening upon a set of ceramic coasters on Etsy.com, Decoupaged with comic book pages. To date, I’ve designed 2 dozen coasters, 5 vases, several trivets, and my very nightstand/end table decoupaged with wallpaper.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As far as my process, it’s very organic. I amass junk like recycled salsa jars, old picture frames, fabric from old clothes, newspapers, etc., as well as curb treasures like a barstool my neighbor set out with her trash that I’m now refinishing. I sit in my studio, and I stare at these random objects until an idea hits me. For example, I snatched up a vodka bottle from our recycle bin because of the unusual texture of the glass and turned it into the vase below with paint, lace from an old skirt and a photo captured at Lake Erie 2 years ago...</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: normal; widows: 1;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so excited that I will be a part of the Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show. A little bit about myself. I currently work for Tesla Motors, Inc. as a Service Concierge in Lyndhurst Ohio. This is a fully electric car that had been in the news a lot lately. Working with luxury cars if fun but soaping is better. I got involved in making soap for a cousin who is a stage 4 cancer patient. Her skin is very delicate and most of the commercial products were hurting her skin further. She had a wish that she would be able to find a soap that was made without preservatives or fragrances. She tried many and at that point I began to read lots about soap and thinking I could do it, my adventure began.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I always use premium ingredients and no preservatives. About 1 ½ years ago my adult son and I did this together for someone we love. It’s actually how we got our name “Mom’s Hope Soap LLC.”. We managed to produce a Castile soap that worked well and was gentle enough for our family member. We didn’t promise a miracle but she found comfort and her dried skin improved over time. So to say that I have a talent here is just a little different than anyone else. It is a talent forced by love. Each year we will be donating a portion of our proceeds to the American Cancer Society and any of our discontinued soaps will be donated to a women’s shelter.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I dreamed of selling
my artwork to the public for years. Though working as an accountant for twenty
plus years, I decided to follow my dream when our family moved to Ohio a little
over 2 years ago. As an accountant, I helped my friend, Dottie Kelley, whom I
met while living in SC at a Bible Study, with her bookkeeping for her mission,
Creations of Hope. I knew immediately after learning more about Creations of
Hope, I wanted to incorporate its mission into my store.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Creations of Hope supports
Haitian artisans and their families by following fair trade principles. Dottie
provides the materials and the training, especially to Haitian women, to teach
them a way to earn money to provide for their families. Creations of Hope works
as the production arm of HEPI (Haiti Education & Production Initiatives). HEPI
is a nonprofit organization that supports the people of Haiti through education
by providing resources for children to continue their schooling, and through
production, by buying products from the artisans to resale in America.
Providing education for Haitian children in rural areas is priority. Creations
of Hope offers educational sponsoring opportunities and builds churches and
school buildings for the Haitian people. Creations of Hope has completed St.
Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Boucan Carre, Haiti and is currently working hard
to complete two other schools/churches/community centers.</span></span></div>

various media including pencil, oil and acrylic paints, water colors, pastels,
charcoal, ceramic painting and creating floral arrangements such as wreaths,
graveside and decorative arrangements. I also design fireplace screens and
other metal art designs for Shelove, a Haitian artisan, we work directly with
through Creations of Hope. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At a young
age I discovered I loved to draw. My first “real” drawing was of Christmas toy
soldiers. I remember my parents complimenting my work and feeling such
satisfaction and joy. Through the years, I loved art classes and continued to
expand my media use and eventually began to make creations for family and
friends and then started taking custom orders.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Chris Rarric and I am a stay at home mom raising my two children. I started making and selling wreaths in May of 2015, which is when I opened my Etsy shop, The Ornate Door. This will be my first Avant-Garde show!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I got into the craft hobby at an early age, with my mom playing a big part. She has crocheted for many years, so I started crafting by doing cross stitch. As I got older, I started adding my own touch to pre-made wreaths I bought at craft stores. Eventually, my husband suggested I start making my own and selling them. After researching different techniques on making deco mesh and burlap wreaths and beginning to make them, my creative thinking started moving forward.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would describe my creative process as just a matter of thinking about what customers would be interested in or what people might like for themselves. Seasons and special events have inspired me to create. I've also turned to websites like Pinterest and Etsy to research different techniques, styles, and ways to incorporate my personal touch. Walking the aisles of craft stores has also given me inspiration, especially the ribbon aisle!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In five years, I hope to still be selling my wreaths. I really enjoy making them and love having a creative outlet! The message behind my work is that you are purchasing a quality, handmade wreath. A great wreath can be the focal point to any home decor or front door, and I enjoy knowing I can add something special to someone's home.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Connie and I'm from Perry, Ohio. I have a number of furry friends, including a poodle. I have been painting for over 30 years and always carry a camera with me. I've been teaching watercolor for seven years, and next month I will begin teaching acrylic also.

I've always loved art. I loved to draw and color when I was small. When I was in high school, I spent most of my time in the art room. To me, painting is an adventure; you know the direction you're going, but things change along the way, so you never know where the journey will take you. </div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The great outdoors inspires me. All I have to do is walk outside and see all of these wonders around us. From my furry friends, to trees and old barns, I'm inspired by all of it. I would like to think my work could help people bring the beauty of the outside into their homes.</span></div>

Our passions for dessert and the American dream are what drive us to create each and every dessert. Almost everyone has their own special memories they associate their favorite dessert with, whether that's birthday parties growing up, or that favorite dessert grandma made you, desserts hit home for everyone. Recreating that feeling and putting a smile on someone's face when they sink their teeth into one of our hand-crafted desserts is what we live for. </div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Ankur Dhasmana and I started making jewelry in 2012. This will be my first Avant-Garde show! Rudraksh is a seed traditionally used for prayer beads in Hinduism. A rudraksh is a rosary used for repetitive prayer and is a common aid to worship in Hinduism. Rudraksh is also used for the treatment of various diseases in traditional Indian medicines. Rudraksh is the one that has the ability to wipe out tears and provide happiness. Hence, the name Rudraksh for my love of making and creating handmade jewelry.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I always felt a need to create. From drawing and painting as a little girl, to building displays and setting up stores as a career woman, and creating carnivals and events as a PTA mom, I've been creating my whole life.

In terms of my creative process, I have a lot of crazy light bulb moments in the middle of the night where ideas pop into my head and I just have to try them. This is basically how most of my products are created. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We have always enjoyed making crafts together. After making wreaths for ourselves we loved it so much that we wanted to continue to make them for others. We love anything rustic and base all of our wreaths off of that type of look! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In five years from now, we see our business being much bigger than it is now.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Meet Christy Mihelich from Christy Mihelich Designs...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and studied fine arts and graphic design at Kent State University and Lakeland Community College. Last year is when my art business really took off. Thanks to social media, I have gotten great exposure in a short period of time. This will not only be my first Avant-Garde show, but my first ever vendor opportunity! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have always loved to draw and paint since I was very young. My artistry really blossomed in high school and I won a blue ribbon award in a juried art show through Cleveland Institute of Art. After I married and began raising my family, I set my career focus on graphic design and hadn't picked up a paint brush or colored pencil for years. But now that my children are older, I have been able to return to the roots of my inner passion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love to alternate medium choice based on the subject I am drawing and the feeling I want to capture. I like to keep my skills fresh in all mediums and not become stagnant. My creative process is mixing up commission work with free subject matter. It's like anything else. I feel if you do too much of one thing, it gets old and boring. So I'm always shaking it up by challenging myself and taking my skills to the next level.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I see how my business has been taking off in just these last few months. I want to continue creating both small and large scale paintings and drawings which will advance my business as a whole. As I continue to build my style and portfolio within these years, I aspire to have my art pieces on display at various galleries in the Cleveland area. I want to connect with people in a very special way through images that inspire, lift, heal, and evoke emotions of love, peace, and happiness.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My grandmother got me into the craft hobby. She used to be a jewelry designer and taught me how to string beads when I was 5. I've been hooked ever since! I'm inspired to create by the outdoors. Being outside in the woods is very inspirational to me. </span></div>
