Hezzamade (Heather Hint)

Do you sell your stuff anywhere else?I sell my vintage fabric button pony-tail ties (that's a mouthfull) at Everyday People in Minneapolis, I sell online at
hezzamade.etsy.com which can be linked through
hezzamade.com. I've sold at Art vs Craft in Milwaukee and Stitch Austin in Texas.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is everywhere. It just has to be one of those good days when your open to it. I'm a huge day-dreamer who is rarely aware of my surroundings and I think that helps. Makes me kind of a dork, but open to ridiculous inspiration.
What's your favorite animal?Muts. Don't tell my cats or they'll destroy my favorite chair.
Maggie Sullivan Studio
Tell us about yourself.I 'came out' as an artist less than 5 years ago. And it's been a wonderful life since and getting better each day.
What will you be selling at the Craftstravaganza?Pressed flower trays: I scavange old serving trays, design a bouquet of pressed flowers on each one and cover the surface with acrylic resin. Not your mother's mixed media!
Do you sell your stuff anywhere else?On
my website, Trotter's Cafe in St. Paul, Lisan Gallery of Art and Design in W. St. Paul, various fairs and occassionally I stop strangers on the street if they look like they have some spare coins in their pockets.
Where do you find inspiration?Life is inspiring. Gardens. The cycle of birth, life and death.
What's your favorite animal?I love all animals but cats have my heart (4 of them in my house alone.)

Tell us about yourself.Hi there! My name is Vicki Olson. I am a glass artist who lives in beautiful South Minneapolis. I was born in England, raised in Southern California and have been living here since 2003. I started working in glass in 1999 when I was pursuing an art degree at Cal State San Bernardino; I graduated in 2001.
What will you be selling at the Craftstravaganza?I work in both blown and fused glass and will have a variety of functional items at the show such as clocks, vases, bowls, necklaces, coasters and barrettes.
Do you sell your stuff anywhere else?Since I lived in Southern California, I was fortunate enough to get into a few galleries back there as well as the San Gabriel Bead Company.
In these parts, I have work up in Saint Cloud at the Paramount Art Gallery and will soon be in The Space, a gallery opening up in New Richmond, Wisconsin. I also have my own website,
www.7two7glass.comWhere do you find inspiration?That’s a tough one……I really can’t put a finger on it. I get inspired when I go on long drives, taking in my surroundings.
What's your favorite animal?
My favorite animal is my adorable pug, the first dog I have ever owned (I’m 29). I got her as a puppy this last Christmas.
