Beautiful Things

"I love beautiful things, but I am also an extremely practical person. I enjoy coming up with ways of taking a functional object such as a purse, a bar of soap or even a simple scarf and turning them into works of art without taking away from their function. That’s why I refer to my work as Functional Fiber Art. These are, for the most part, beautiful works of art, but they also are able to have a purpose. It reminds me of the human race, we also are works of art with purpose." Vanessa Mueller

Tonya's Painted Fun






Tonya is busy whippin' up some of her trademark painted bowls and treasure boxes.  This multi-talented gal is sure to have more surprises up her sleeve at the Beehive Bazaar! Oh yeah, don't forget about her new to the BB, Paintings!!!!!

Card Worth Framing

We're excited to introduce art from Celeste of CJS Woodland Shed to the Beehive Bazaar this season. She creates original hand printed linocut cards that are so cool you'll be tempted to hang them on your wall instead of sending them off to friends. Visit her at Etsy to check out her unique craft.

Loveland Miscellany


Loveland Miscellany showcases the combined and various works of Mike and Alma
Loveland. Married less than a year, the two are mixing the styles and media that they had
mastered on their own in a variety of projects, including watercolor and acryllic paintings and
prints, mixed media paintings and prints, felt brooches and glass cuff links, and small felt
children’s toys. The couple are inspired by the things they see around them and are always
eager to try something new, which yields a surprising, if miscellaneous assortment of products.

Impossible Acts...

I'm gearing up for the spring show and working on a new collection of paintings. For a sneak preview stop in and visit my friends Megan and Kim at Kaleidoscope (in the Provo River Woods)--they've kindly scattered a few of my latest pieces amongst their fabulous must-haves.

goods from the coal umbrella


candle holders made from collages using scrapbook paper, stamps, vintage photographs and more. . .


Wallets made by MaxineDear. The wallet making process...they remove the covering from the cardboard backing which gives hardback books their stiffness, then wrap this woven material over a soft thin leather to create a sturdy and comfortable wallet. Fabulous.


Paper packets chocked full of beautiful paper scraps, each little pile is a surprise from vintage wrapping paper to postage stamps, illustrations and more. Grab one for yourself, you deserve a little surprise. Note: Each mini pile is unique.

envelop design


"I love magazines and I always find some sort of inspiration by reading them. But a woman can only have so many magazines!" That is why Diana Camomile Peck of Envelop Design came up with the idea of rather than throwing her magazines away she could recycle them by turning them into envelopes. "The art in magazines is beautiful as well as silly and it is a shame to just throw it away." These envelopes are unusual and you can always find the perfect envelop that is fitting to a specific person. Each envelope is lined and includes a notecard and address label.

finger puppets



This kitty finger puppet is about the cutest thing I've ever seen. Imagine the hours you could spent playing with this, with or without kids. Keep one in your desk at the office, in the car, and don't forget to take the kitty to church.
Way to go Dallas. If you simply can't wait until the bazaar to get your hands on some of Dallas Russell's goods- try Frosty Darling in downtown SLC.
