In looking through her studio, you can't help but smile. She has a number of fun pendants as well as other whimsical pieces.

Riding the Crazy Train

Today's Crazy Train Rider is Hook, Yarn and Inker.

This is a unique shop that combines several handcraft skills together with a concern for the environment. Many of her products are recyclable and reusabe. She also does custom work as well. You just have to ask.

The "Inker" part of her business includes journals, stationary, memory books, etc. She describes this art on her Etsy site as follows: "My Stationary is 100% made by hand from 100%recycled cotton from my friends who live in India. Nothing is mass produced. Each item is individual and no two items are exactly the same."

Check out her Art Fire studio by going to: http://www.hookyarninker.artfire.com/. She has a link to her Etsy shop on this site.

Have an awesome weekend!

Art Fire Crazy Train

Riding the Crazy Train...

Today the train is stopping at Cherilynn Fine Art Artisan Studio at Art Fire. Cherilynn has a "deep love for watercolor" and a "passion for animals." This gifted young woman combines both to create a customized keepsake for the pet owner.

Her collection is unique. She displays original art work as well as prints. The expressions she captures on the faces of her animals just make you want to give them a cuddle. For an animal lover this is priceless.

Cherilynn also does watercolor abstracts and stilllifes and has started creating cards using them.

Visit her Art Fire Studio at http://www.artfire.com/users/cherilynnfineart. This link will take you to her studio where you can learn more about Cherilynn and see her beautiful work.

Enjoy!

A New Experience!

Hi! Welcome to Glass and Wire Gems!

This whole concept started as a hobby and as my friends and family say, "It grew wings!" I love working with glass and wire and have to say the I'd rather be doing that, but I'm seeing that there are other skills that I need to learn as well...like blogging.

As a member of Art Fire's Crazy Train, I'd like to share some of the awesome handcrafted items that are available from my fellow Crazy Train riders. So I'll post photos and info about their creations.

I'd also like to share a little bit about my items and the process it takes to create them. We'll see how this all evolves.

Thanks so much for taking the time to join me.

Have an awesome day!
