We'd like to thank our loyal friends that visited our blog on a regular basis. As a group we've decided that we no longer want to post work on a weekly basis but on our own personal schedules. We plan on continuing with the site as more of a reference place for our work than a working weekly blog. Please continue to check in once in a while to see if we've posted new work and always visit our galleries to see what work is still for sale.Thank you for all of your support over the past year.

Featured Artist:Jen Kay

I have my BFA in Art, Art Education from Adrian College and recently acquired my Masters from the University of Detroit Mercy. I work as a high school Art Teacher, who also teaches French and directs the school play on the side. On my "summer vaction" I have been on a crocheting frenzy, making square & rectangular items that turn into purses. I don't like using patterns or having too many rules, so I make up my own variations without all the hassle. These items are made with wool that is felted- in the washing machine in hot water- to make the great texture and shrinks the fibers close together. I like making custom artwork so that my work has a paricular purpose for someone. In addition to crocheting I do a bunch of other crafty, artsy stuff like quilting, embroidery, bookmaking, needle punch and jewlery to name a few.
