Feathers by Danusia

Jocelyn Blore — Wed, 22 May 2024 16:31:01 +0000

I have been a feather artisan for over 50 years. My heritage is Polish. I used to stare at this beautiful box my parents brought over from Poland when they immigrated. It is a mosaic of straw cut into symmetrical shapes. I think that is my inspiration.

I started out as a street artist in San Francisco in the early 70s. I gradually traveled all over the country selling my wears at pretty prestigious art festivals. New Orleans Jazz Fest, ACE shows, Sausalito, Lincoln Center, Mill Valley, and the Folklife Festival, and then I found a market that changed me, that changed the way I perceived my work. That festival is Oregon Country Fair.

I have been here for over 30 years. Now, it is the only show that I do. As I get older, travel gets harder, and I can work all year long towards one event. My work is lighthearted and it fulfills me. Come see me and my wonderful crew this year.

Mama Jean’s Kind Threads

Skulls and skeletons are quilted into wall hangings, quilts, home goods, and patches. Goddesses and pagan images can also be found. Sewing creations with a twist, not the typical quilt style. Even after 60 years of sewing, the joy of creating always inspires me.

Queen Stitch Crochet

Mary Callaghan — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 06:54:47 +0000

I have been crocheting since my grandmother taught me when I was 11 years old. I crochet doilies in many sizes and colors, primarily using 100% all cotton thread. I enjoy creating my own patterns for the most part, but occasionally will use another artist’s pattern for inspiration and modify it to my own liking.

I run a store with my Artist daughter, Heather, in Springfield, Oregon. Much of my time is spent creating electrified hanging/tabletop lamps with my doily patterns, as well as Chakra garlands, vertical and horizontal, prayer flags, snowflake garlands, face scrubbies, hot pads, washcloths, earrings, masks, crochet covered tins (rustproof), Mardi Gras type masks, and plant hangers.

I also make hanging pendant lamps and tabletop lamps using my doilies. The doilies are placed on a ball, glued, and left to cure for 2 months. The hardened doily is removed and wired with a 15-foot cord (hanging) or 8-foot cord (tabletop) with an inline on and off switch. The tabletop version is wired into a wooden base of varying shapes, which have been sanded, stained, and sprayed with a clear water-resistant finish. Another method is used placing an unhardened doily over a clear acrylic sphere. Elastic is used to hold the doily onto the sphere allowing it to be removed for laundering if necessary. This style is also wired with a 15-foot/8-foot cord as described earlier. Globes are available in 6″, 8″ and 10″ sizes.

In addition to my store on Etsy (link below), I sell from our store located at 331 Main Street, Springfield, Oregon and our website: https://haphazardcreativity.square.site
