I make art prints and paper goods featuring whimsical, smart yet accessible drawings. There is a strong narrative element underlying many of my illustrations with subjects ranging from animals in unusual settings to the beauty of everyday objects. 

What is your favorite handmade item?
I have a framed piece of crewel needlework my mom made in the 70s. It shows a herd of graphically patterned birds milling about in a range of beautiful oranges, browns, pinks and yellows. 

What do you enjoy outside of crafting?
I love cooking and making food discoveries — especially finding local food gems. 

One random fact about yourself.
I've spent the night in all but four states.

Vendor Spotlight - enamor

enamor

Your Website/Etsy shop/somewhere people can find your products:

Tell us about your products/business: 
 enamor means, "to be filled with the feeling of love". I put a lot of love into what I make, and my only hope is that its passed onto others and can put a smile on their face! enamor is all about handpainted or sewn cute forest critters and re-purposed vintage items- I really enjoy finding a new use for old items that might otherwise end up in a pile of junk. I also just started enamorweddings a year ago, which allows me to connect with brides all over the world. 

What is your favorite handmade item?  
Anything I can find that has a hedgehog on it!

What do you enjoy outside of crafting?   
Antiquing/thrifting, Michigan Wolverings football, photography, and baking.
