MadHattersPottery


Notes from the artist :
Keep a piece of summer nearby throughout the year. Glazed in crisp ocean blues and deep greens, this handcrafted pot is filled with the fragrance of Awapuhi Seaberry, a hint of floral, melon and berries floating on top of a fresh tropical ocean breeze.

The essence of summer memories in one little pot.

Notes from the artist :

I hunted down the fabric for this quilt on a Quilt Shop Tour around Minnesota and Wisconsin. It was a fun trip. The Alexander Henery large cowboy print I bought on Etsy!

It was so much fun creating this hip western quilt. Thanks for checking it out. :)

Notes from the artist :
This is a sachet bag I crocheted. You can fill it with your favorite scent. This little bag would make a nice gift and could become an heirloom. I know I love to collect old crocheted items.

It has a drawstring closure and there is a loop on the inside if you want to hang it up.

The sachet bag is approx. 3 x 3 inches.

It is made by me, in my pet-free and smoke-free home.

I made this little dress out of some of my collage paper. It has collage paper that has been machine stitched onto some of my handmade paper. I hand stitched some buttons down the front and then added fibers to the top.

You could use it as a bookmark, on a card, in a scrapbook or as a tag. It is approx. 5 x 2 inches.

StrayNation


Notes from the artist :
Set of three (3) approximately 4 inch by 5 inch note cards with envelopes featuring Cotton the cat. These note cards are blank on the inside except of the very top left corner in which information about the photo is printed in light gray.

These are great little notecards for ANY kind of correspondence! They make great gifts for cat lovers too!

Cotton is a white-haired, blue-eyed cat. He is believed to be a Turkish Angora, but since he was rescued from a shelter, that is not certain. Like most Turkish Angoras, he is extremely intelligent, very playful and loves water. Unlike most Turkish Angoras, he is completely deaf. He also has a heart condition that requires medication twice a day, not that anyone would ever know he has a heart problem with all the running around he does!

He loves boxes as much as the next cat, but he ESPECIALLY loves his bucket! He climbs into the bucket and spins round and round before he goes to sleep and I can't help but think that bucket is a "bucket full of love!"

As with every cat photograph, 50% of the proceeds from this photograph will be donated to the shelter from which that cat was adopted. In Cotton's case, that shelter is Save a Pet in Grayslake, IL.

The earthy color combination is stunning. The gemstones and pearls are genuine. Pressed amber is bits of amber and immature tree resin pressed together with heat to form a single block.

The necklace measures 20 inches and is finished with a lobster clasp. Please let me know if you have any questions.

She is hand stitched from pale pink felt with a long black dress sewn on her body. She has appliqued eyes and a stitched mouth. She has black gloves and shoes and brown hair.

Notes from the artist :
Tourmaline chips go around in a loop and Lemon Quartz sits at the bottom. The Tourmaline and Lemon Quartz shine so much but I just had to add a Swarovski Crystal at the top for that extra pizzazz.

The french hooks are gold filled. Cubes are 10mm and the Swarovski Crystals are 6mm.

My jewelry and bath & body products are always VEGAN. I never use any animal by-products such as leather, bone, shell, feathers, silk or pearls etc.

I donate 10% of my sales to the Animal Place in Vacaville, CA. They are a wonderful organization that rescues farm animals from abuse and neglect. www.animalplace.org
