Woolarina makes lots and lots of yarn and can't stop knitting. She has loads of fun hats and mitts and scarves for adults and kids.
I draw, sew, and try to make something every day. I use my chronic doodling and collection of toys and pictures out of magazines and newspapers as inspiration. I am as equally influenced by graffiti in Paris and Philly as I am by artists like Chris Ware and Charles Burns.
Tina Seamonster silk screens shirts and cards in small batches at her kitchen table with a Print Gocco. She is inspired by her life as an urban mom of twins in DC. Check out her new Zombie Plague Holiday line of cards and ornaments!
If you are a rad kid in D.C., it is likely that you are wearing something by 60 bugs. Debbie of 60 bugs loves the 80s, music, pop culture and DIYing, and likes to incorporate these themes into her embroidery and gocco printing.
Pile of Craft turns colorful, bumpy, fuzzy handspun yarn into scarves, hats, and handbags. She also creates unique and useful decorative items out of custom-mixed polymer clay. She creates fuzzy tree cards and other happy stationery sets, too!
Charming Vices offers kitschy jewelry and accessories for guys and gals. I am compelled to recycle objects that need new lives into one of a kind creations.
8th Street Soap Kitchen soaps are handcrafted with quality natural ingredients. Painstakingly made from scratch in small batches, these soaps lather richly, are naturally colored and carefully scented, and clean delightfully.
Trees makes pillows and reconstructs clothing using vintage materials.
As with many artists, I have been drawing and making things for as long as I can remember. Sometimes my brain overflows with more ideas than my hands and my wallet can keep up with. I love texture, patterns, contrast, color (especially red, white & black and any pastel color paired with chocolate brown). I also love creating art with recycled items(trash). I am self-taught through much trial and error and a SAHM of 2 boys. I hope you enjoy my creations, as much as I enjoyed creating them!

My craft is to make accessories for your life. I specialize in found object jewelry, applique and sowing. My style is silhouettes, fun animals and things that will make you smile.
one-of-a-kind bags handmade with vintage/weird fabrics, screenprinted designs, reworked fashion finds, and various other inspirations.
Inspiration can come in the form of whispy clouds, snow-capped mountains, or happy little trees. And sometimes, it comes in the form of all three. Celebrate the handcrafted wisdom and insight of Saint Bob.
My goal is to create a a heightened reality where everything is bigger, brighter and more excessive. A space in constant flux, that crackles with excitement. I am interested in manipulating the known world into something different, making the unseen seen.
I create super-soft and squishy plush for little ones and big people alike. From dirty snowballs to hunks of coal, I give smiles to the lonely, unwanted creatures of the world. The website for my happy plush can be found at www.treemanjake.com
After learning my skills at a t-shirt shop years ago, I eventually opened my own studio where I layer images of flowers, objects and retro graphics on new and vintage apparel to create my signature looks. Accessorize with my glass rockstar-licious jewelry!
Stella Bella Arts is a one-woman show by artist Jo Doyle. She lives to create.
I am currently infatuated with westerns, Egpyt, deam catchers, and boats. I don't know how that fits in with what I'm making but that gives you an idea of what I'm thinking about!
The Charm City Craft Mafia is a a group of rowdy, creative, talented, and (most importantly) crafty folk who work out of Baltimore City -- Charm City, USA. We hawk our wares through our websites, at craft shows, and through local stores. Now we have banded together -- crafter a crafter -- to build a craftier world where our hip posters, adorable aprons, vintage jewelry, songbird music, daring designs, warm scarves, and kitschy clothing is available to all. Also, we wanted a reason to enjoy a glass of wine with friends and call it "work" and "business development."
