Inner Wilderness Art

 
 

Hi, I'm Kayla. I want the world to be more magical, so I paint it that way. I use a variety of mediums, though watercolor is my current favorite, to create whimsical paintings and turn them into prints, stickers, greeting cards, and illustrated gifts.

Archie Liggett Jewelry

 
 

I hand stamp on metal and vintage utensils to make jewelry and gifts. While using a hammer and different sized letters and other stamps I place words, phrases, names or small designs on each item. I love to give old spoons and forks new life.

Art

Howdy! My name is Kristen and I like to make things. I am currently making peaceful acrylic paintings, pointed mixed media pieces, and quirky technicolor watercolor illustrations. These three styles come tumbling out depending on my mood which usually can be summed up by: let’s chill out and debate in acrylics, resist! we gotta do something about politics in mixed media, and let’s have fun and be weird together in watercolors. Ever feel like this? Then you’re in good company - Enjoy!

Play with Fire!

Playing with Fire is my passion! I use a torch to make glass beads by melting colored glass rods from Italy. I turn those glass beads into one of a kind jewelry & accessories. I teach beginner, intermediate lampworking & jewelry making in my private studio. Gift certificates as well as bulk custom beads are available.

Hand Painted Leather Goods and Geometric Jewelry

Minimalist design doesn’t have to be bland or forgettable! I aim to make jewelry and leather goods that are sleek yet full of personality. My work incorporates a variety of inspirations, from the purposeful design of a pocketknife, to nostalgia for 90s Claire’s earring sets, or the clean geometry of mid century furniture. Including colorful earrings sets, hand-patterned leather clutches, sleek keychain wristlets, and more, Cold Gold strives to provide the simple, memorable staples in your wardrobe.

Paper goods, home goods, and screen printed apparel that's largely inspired by the South

I'm a Knoxville native designing and making products inspired by my Southern roots. I gave up architecture to pursue my passion of graphic design. My product line includes greeting cards, postcards, prints, mugs, notepads, magnets, throw pillows, gift wrap, and screen printed kitchen towels, onesies, and tshirts. My designs tend to be bright and colorful, and I'm always striving to create the perfect gift.

Wingshuck Corn Shuck Dolls + Annie Egypt Herbals

Hand made contemporary and traditional Appalachian corn shuck dolls + all-natural herbal soaps and skin care products

I am a full-time, self-employed craft artist who has been making corn shuck dolls since 1975. I am devoted to the creative process of craft, and especially the alchemy of transforming raw, natural materials into new forms. I dye the natural dried corn shucks by hand, then roll and tie them into doll figures. I embellish the dolls with a variety of natural materials, and repurposed objects. My dolls represent imaginative notions of folklore, legend, myth, healing modalities, shamanism and other earthly and celestial entities, as well as traditional Appalachian themes. I am also devoted to keeping corn shuck doll craft alive, and teach workshops and classes at schools, craft centers and at my studio. I am the author of "Making Colorful Corn Shuck Dolls,” a full-color, step-by-step instructional book on making corn shuck dolls, published in 2011. You can find my work at various craft galleries and shops in the southern Appalachian region.

In addition to my corn shuck artistry, I also produce my own line of natural skin care products under the name Annie Egypt Herbals. I began by experimenting with making my own soaps over 20 years ago, after becoming conscious of harmful synthetic ingredients in commercially produced skin care. In addition to my herbal soaps, I formulate face and body creams, anointing and massage oils, and other products good for the body and soul. All of my products are made in small batches using all-natural vegetable oils and pure essential oils. My products “Won’t make you beautiful; they will keep you beautiful!”™

Handprinted Tea Towels and Prints

I love printmaking! I consider my work to be between cute and beautiful. I have tea towels that have tacos all over them to a lovely lemon print. All my stamps are drawn and carved out by me. Each tea towel will be different because they are handprinted.
