Featuring "Jannio Feltwear"

Always looking for the next artist to buy from, feature, or just admire. Here's another one that is extremely talented and unique.

Jannio Feltwear

A little bit about the artist....

When I left school I went to Art College I specialized in textiles at the Amersham Collage of Art and Design. I left Art collage and started working with ceramics.

I am now living in the south west of France. After bringing up my children, I started working with my mother in law who taught me the techniques of sculpture and ceramic. As a result I make ceramic objects like birds.
My interest in textiles came back to me when a friend taught me the art of felt making. I used this knowledge to turn the felt into usable objects like hat’s, scarf’s and bags. I now combine the two mediums in my latest collection; felt and ceramic buttons. My creations are like little paintings with wool, silk and other materials.

Featuring "Podgehodge"

I knew when I saw their yummy felt strawberries dipped in chocolate that I had to feature Podgehodge! Their artwork is beautiful too. More from Podgehodge....

Based in Toronto, Canada, Podgehodge is a joint shop owned by Ruth (myself) and Daniel. Being recently opened, the shop is filled with prints and felt goodies by me. With a background in fashion illustration from The Ontario College of Art and Design, my prints are inspired by historical costumes, fabled heroines, and colours found in haute couture fashion and nature. Lately I've been making felt accessories and playfood, fulfilling a crafty goal of mine. I am a huge lover of food, especially dessert, so it's only natural for me to make food inspired crafts. Etsy is perfect for gathering all my ideas and creations into one place.

Visit our store often as more items are arrive shortly, such as DIY paper crafts."

Such cuteness!! Featuring "Little Elfs Toyshop"

I absolutely love this Etsy website, Little Elfs Toyshop. The artist's work is really detailed for these tiny pieces of art.

Here is a little bit of info. from the artist herself...

My name is Kelley and I’m just your friendly little elf toymaker. I started out making toys when I was 18, so it’s been almost ten years now that I’ve been doing this. I prefer to use natural materials whenever possible and just love working with wool to make little felted creations. All my dolls are double sewn so they are nice and sturdy and can be customized to your liking as well. I’m always adding new animals to the shop and just love making story book critters too. ^_^ Beatrix Potter is one of my biggest inspirations, her animals are so sweet and just have a nice whimsical flair to me that I just love.
