Today I am blogging about Devandet Designs, this is another wonderful Art Fire Artisan. Please check out the items in her store, she really has some unique pieces in her shop.
Artisan's Bio:
Mom to two, wife to one, artist, crafter, designer, gardener, volunteer, recycler, cat, chicken and worm owner, uninspired cook, amazing housekeeper. So many hats and only two hands, strong hands with nimble -always busy- fingers and trashed fingernails.
My experience in needlework, sewing, miniatures, doll-making, painting, paper arts, jewelry, mixed media collage allow me to use many different skills and techniques to hand-craft my items.
I have made art and craft all my life, studied art history, spent far too much time in school, and finally realized MAKING things, beautiful things to hold and wear and hopefully pass down is where I find my bliss.
From the Artisan:
Welcome to debvandetdesigns! Handmade jewelry for you and artful adornments for you and your home. I use mixed media and a variety of techniques, new and recycled components to make my original designs. Whether your style is girly or goth, I might have something you'll love. If not... I would love to make it for you. Custom work and collaboration on a piece of jewelry that is personal and meaningful for you is a joy for me.
Please visit me at www.debvandetdesigns.blogspot.com where I might chat about art, craft, chickens, kids, gardens, cats, and life in general. Thanks!

Alisuns Too ArtFire Artisan


Today and tomorrow I am promoting a wonderful artisan from Art Fire. She has some very wonderful pieces on her site...please take a peek.
Artisan's Bio:
My main focus at the moment is making jewelry. I've always loved jewelry and I hope to learn more from all of the talented artists on ArtFire. But it's not always been my creative outlet. I write, edit, knit, crochet, needlepoint, and embroider by hand. I have many items that can be sold in supplies and many that I just couldn't resist making that will end up in this studio.
Keep coming back for the studio will change often.
From the Artisan:
AlisunsToo is the store where in order to give good homes to unused supplies and vintage pieces (some were made 30 years ago) you Always Get Too For Won.
Here is the simple Too rule. Buy an item. Shop for another item OR ITEMS that equal the purchase price. Pay the shipping price ONLY if it weighs more than 13 oz.
That's it. Have fun shopping!
This is where you will find all my destash, and stuff that doesn't fit in my Alisun's Custom Crafted Jewelry store (www.alisuns.artfire.com).
Things will never be the same here, and I can't promise that I can recreate some of the things I've listed.
Have fun browsing!

Janelson Arts
Here is another great artisan that I am promoting today. Take a look at her items, I think that you will be pleased with you find.From the Artisan:
I create beautiful lampwork beads and jewelry in my studio. I also feel we all need to recycle so I make clothing and other items from clean recycled paper, cloth whatever I find interesting.
Artisan's Bio:
I love creating and have all my life. I have a studio in my home where my husband and I both make lampwork beads on a oxygen propane torch. I also love sewing and create many beautiful items.
I feel strongly about saving the planet so I'm always looking for ways to use items that are normally thrown away.
My husband and I live in Ohio with our 2 dogs and 4 cats.
Thank you for stopping by.
