Olivia Wilkinson | Olzyza

Favorite objects, imaginary and real, yarn-geneered into soft, knitted and crocheted mobiles. Floating fun! Clouds, musics, animals, monsters, everything you can think of. If you're like me, all the flat surfaces in your life are covered to capacity, but there's still room aplenty on your ceiling! The bright colors and almost perpetual motion are a delight to watch; they are great for babies and kids -- and grown ups who love any excuse to keep their toys out in the living room.

Tanalissa Waldram | Scallywags

The market is saturated with beautiful things for girls, but not so much for boys. After months of hunting to find a tie for my son, I decided to make my own and thought that other moms must be having the same problem. I also make superhero capes for those moments when a 3 year old needs to run "extra" fast around the house, saving the world as he goes.

Sherisa Bly | Robots Are Forever

I have always been a collector of little unwanted odds and ends. From unique buttons and fabric scraps to the perfectly good, unused sculpey from the elementary school. I have become the recipient of many precious treasures. My goal is to take what already exists and reshape it into something original and useful. This spring I have mushroom-shaped hot pad holders, coasters made from vintage fabrics, cards, and, my favorite- "flower pot friends". These are little sculpey creatures, hand-shaped, baked, and glazed that live inside your flower pots, protecting, and defending your plants!

 

Scott Rawlings | Full Give

I make custom leather belts. Each one is hand finished using various techniques to achieve a wide variety of designs. I like to re-use old working buckles. I also use the natural highlights or defects in the leather to my creative advantage. No two belts are ever the same. Each piece must be something i can be proud of before it gets to be sold.

 

Sarinda Jones | Reflective Art Studio and Podds

"I use a phrase, 'Left of Center', to describe the details in my work. This phrase is also used to describe the relationships of the visual line and emotional motivations." Sarinda Jones begins each piece with conceptual drawings and designs then moves to the technical methods of assembling and completing each piece. Every work is one-of-a-kind. Although some pieces share common shapes or elements, no two are exactly alike, ensuring the originality of the work. A minimalist approach gives her pieces a contemporary feel and illuminates the simple beauty.

Jeremy Josephson & Zoe Jacobson | Ruby Market

The Ruby Market girls have been working like crazy to present you with some of our newest hits. We like to create things that we know will make everyone happy such as our recycled materials bags, our "not your mama's corsage" flowers, and our Hotwheel roll-up car toys. We like to bring old and new design elements together, elements that are sure to catch everyone's attention! Don't fret though; we would never forget some of our customer favorites, like our lavender rice therapy bags or our nag rags. It makes us so happy to see that there is a customer for every idea! The Beehive Bazaar crowd is what has inspired us to keep on keepin' on! We would love another chance to participate in this event.

Eve Napierski | Evie Ivy Overstreet & Liesel Potter | Liesel's Art Studio

(Eve) Being able to stay home with my boys has given me the opportunity to express my inherent creativity. I love to make things for children and home, with a lot of hand stitching and applique. I'm busy making felt watches & bracelets, little clothes, pillows, tote bags, lavender sachets and a few soft friends. (Liesel) I have always loved to make things, the more versatility involved the better. I graduated with my bachelors degree in art right before I had my first baby. I make prints and magnets of my art as well as bookbinding with journals and planners and address books. They all feed my need to create.

Monica Dennis | MD Sparks

I design affordable handmade jewelry. My exploration into the world of jewelry making began once I was finished with my degree and actually had some extra time on my hands to devote to a hobby. It has turned into a creative outlet that allows me to relax and unwind after a long day at work. I always look forward to getting home and exercising the other side of my brain. :D

Katie Brandeburg | Little Bee Note Jewelry

I make pretty little ditties that dangle on your lobes! Rare, vintage, opaque German and Czech glass is used to create unique modern, yet delicate one of kind pieces. These earrings are definitely a step up from costume jewelry but still feel like something precious from your grandmas jewelry box! I started designing jewelry in high school and came back to it in college as a way to give something a little more personal and fun to my girlfriends for birthdays and Christmas.
