What do your customers love most about your product(s)?
My customers love the creativity, material usage, and the fact that I take the time to add the little things.
Have you always been passionate about art and design?
Yes, ever since my early childhood days, I have always been passionate and tinkering with different wood/material designs, learning early on from my Dad as we built stuff using a variety of tools. I continue experimenting with different projects using unusual materials!
What do you love most about craft show vending?
I love the interaction with each individual client, including other Vendors, getting to know their wants/likes/dislikes before we proceed with their custom project.
Is this a full-time business for you?
It has now become a more fun “full-time” hobby since I took early retirement 3 years ago from my full-time job, loving every moment!
What is your favorite item that you sell?
One of my favorite continuing items that I create are Miniatures, simply put, a client will send me photos of the family cabin and I then create a miniature of that, which may be utilized outside as a functional Birdhouse or as an indoor display piece.
What do you think sets your designs apart from others?
I take the time to design each piece, sometimes on the fly, to what materials to utilize, whether repurposed, new, or very unique materials.
