Monroe Crochet Flower Ring- Green from muggytuesday

more about muggytuesday: MuggyTuesday is a partnership of two sisters, Margaret (aka Muggy, but only to her sister) and Sarah (aka Tuesday, to everyone but her sister), who live and craft together in Chicago, Illinois. We love our adopted hometown, and reflect that by choosing product names representing neighborhoods and streets in Chicago.
Margaret learned the traditional crafts of crochet, knitting and cross-stitch as a child and has been creating with varying levels of obsession ever since. Sarah came to appreciate these crafts later, having earlier explored interests in photography and ceramics. During our crafting sessions together, we began collaborating on pieces that combined our creative interests. We especially enjoy finding new and unexpected uses of materials and application of concepts.
We are inspired by the natural world and our everyday environment. We endeavor to make conscious choices with the materials we use for our handiwork. It’s our hope that the joy we feel when creating an item is shared by you when it arrives in your home.

Booth 5.

Rustbelt Fiberwerks

more about Rustbelt FiberWerks: My work is utilitarian, intended to be used, and through its use, to create new memories. Daily interaction with high-quality, handmade items elevates our everyday experience, making our condition of living that much better. I don’t make my art to hang on a wall, or on a coat rack: it’s to be worn, to be dirtied, to be cleaned and to be cared for. This connection to the item itself honors the spirit in which it was made and the memory of the process. And then after it has reached the end of its usefulness I hope it can be recycled, that it can become something else.

Soup Mug by JennyBlasenPottery

more about JennyBlasenPottery: I first studied pottery as an exchange student in Osaka, Japan. I loved the process so much that I continued taking pottery classes when I returned to the US. After graduation I made my way back to Japan for 3 years and moved on to Hawaii for 4 years and never once touched clay.
It wasn’t until my husband and I decided to move back to Wisconsin that I started potting again. After several years of evening classes I decided that it wasn’t enough. I joined a local community studio and began spending every free moment in the studio. At the encouragement of potter friend, I began selling my pottery locally and here on Etsy.
I continue to learn something new every time I step into the studio. I like to make functional pieces for everyday use. Some pieces, like my little dishes, are inspired from my time in Japan.

Booth 40.

Planetary Pearls – Blue Bead Earrings from LisaFerinDesigns

more about LisaFerinDesigns: I love jewelry! From the time I was little. From the ancient beads in museum displays to the silver necklaces my mother always wore. I started making earrings for my high school friends and never stopped. I learned to carve wax and cast silver and here I am. I am a metal smith who likes to break for beads now and again and a beader with a hankering to get back to the jeweler’s bench….My background is in archaeology rather than art (I switched to jewelry making about 12 years ago) and some of the jewelry forms come to me by way of pottery shards, the striation of soil layers or the sharp point of a trowel. Most of my rings and pendants are carved out of wax and then cast. I leave channels in the wax where the second metal will later be soldered in. Some pieces are unique, others I make in limited numbers. I don’t usually make drawings, but let the shape of the jewelry evolve spontaneously as I go. Sometimes I fabricate rather than cast. I am still working on improving my stone-setting skills! When I’m tired of all that, I turn to comfort in beads! Glass, semi-precious, silver and anything else that catches my eye.
