Dena Drake (www.ilovefelt.com). At Dena’s website, you will find a lovley assortment of oragami pins & accessories made from felt and polymer clay.

Matt Vilhauer, Gemsmith (www.gemsmith.etsy.com). Matt is a talented lapidary artist and silversmith. He can cut just about any stone into any shape you’d like–and make a ring or pendant to mount it in as well.

Cyd Kertson, Two Bricks Short (www.twobricksshort.com). If you are a customer of the Vancouver Farmer’s Market or the Battle Ground Farmer’s Market, you probablly recognize Cyd’s love of concrete and brickmaking. Although she is a brilliant wordsmith & brickmaker, Cyd will be showcasing her new found crafty love–felting. She creates animals, people, objects out of felted wool.

Cynthia Caudill, Rethink Crafts (www.rethinkcrafts.etsy.com). Cynthia creates mittens out of old sweaters & afghans, recycles sofa covers & curtians into handbags, she makes paint chips & bingo cards turn into wallets and uses scraps from her friends store, Swaddlekeeper to line her mittens so the scraps don’t end up in a landfill.

Mel Perrigo, Marked Departure Pottery (www.markeddeparture.com). Mel is a potter through and through. She uses a techniqe called ’smoke firing’ to adorn her hand-built pots, vases, vessels. The smoke firing creates a unique “glaze” on each peice that cannot be duplicated. She uses traditional glazes occasionally, but sparingly.

Debbie Donohoe, Rooster Glassworks (www.roosterglassworks.com). All of the beads in Deb’s handcrafted jewlery is designed and crafted by Deb. She is a lampworker–a glass bead maker, in layman’s terms. Her beads are beautiful alone, but really shine in her completed peices of jewlery. Every peice is unique, handcrafted creations.

Rusty Moe, La Masion de Claudette (www.tileartistmoe.com). Rusty is a multi-talened artist. Mosaic portriats, cafe tables and flower pots. Oil paintings that make you stop in your tracks. Colorful, expressive fish portriats that would look at home in a child’s bedroom or a brightly colored bathroom. And just as colorful of a personality to match her artwork. Oh, and she speaks French.

Rebecca Weaver. Rebecca is an inspiration to the art and craft movement. It is evident in her detailed fiber work (crochet, knit, weave, spin, dye…on and on) that she is a true craftswoman. Her crocheted rugs are beautiful to look at, even more beautiful to walk on. Her felted wool hats can be worn with an elegant wool coat when you go out on the town and work just as well on a soggy, rainiy day of fishing.

Jay Schriver, Schriver’s Wood Arts (rosebud326@comcast.net). Jay is a talented scroll saw artist. He will display his love of wood and woodburning at our first Showdown.

Reenie Hanlin, Material Whirled (www.materialwhirled.com). Yet another talented fiber artist. Visit her website if you love hand-spun yarn…You name the color combo and I’m sure she has it. Reenie sells her handspun yarn (& takes custom orders!) along with many other talented spinners and also has a section of yarns where the proceeds go towards purchasing charkhas, spinning wheels and hand carders for women in Africa.

Tracy Robbins, Abracadabra (agccsmom@aol.com). Tracy paints wood picture frames from her home in Ridgefield, Wa.

Mike Perkins, Perkins Woodworks, LLC (perkinswoodworks@comcast.net). Mike is yet another talented wood artist. The items he creates are mostly functional works of art…wooden spoons, cutting boards, napkin rings, bottle stoppers, bird houses. He has been a fairly regular vendor at the Vancouver Farmer’s Market and if that didn’t keep him busy enough, he started another company, Toxic Skate (skateboards, wheels, trucks, skating accessories) earlier this year.

Dale & Susan Pope, Singing Frog Studios (www.singingfrogstudio.com). Dale creates many sizes of terra cotta tiles (4×4, 4×6, 5×6 on up to 6×16!) with botanical themes. Daisies, ginko biloba leaves, flowers all come to life in his 3D sculptures and glazing style.

Sherry Frank Jewlery Designs (sherryfrankdesigns@comcast.net). Sherry creates and designs lovely peices of jewlery out of semi-precious beads, Hill Tribe Silver, many different colors and styles of pearls and unique glass beads. She is also a bizintine chain goddesss; I’ve heard blacksmiths look at her chain-mail work and tell her “You’re my hero!”.

Tricia Davis-Payne, Needle in a Haystack (www.niahdesigns.com). Using a hemp-cotton blend cord, Tricia macrames glass, wood, bone, semi precious and metal beads, findings and pendants into wearable works of art. Her necklaces, chockers, braclets and earrings look equally elegant over a sweater and jacket for work or a t-shirt when going to a show. Don’t let the delicate look of some of her peices keep you from wearing them daily–hemp is one of the stronges natural fibers on the planet, so wear them like you would any other jewlery.

Sherry Lydy, Little Miss Fun Bags (sherrylydy@yahoo.com). Boy oh boy, are Sherry’s Fun Bags fun…this gal is a pop-culture, rock’n'roll music JUNKIE. Yes, those are both good things…just look at some of her bags. As an owner of approx. 15 of her handbags, I can attest to thier durability and head-spinning “Oh my God, where did you get that bag?!” reactions. Once famous for her LP record bags (don’t ask her to make you one, though-she’s moved on), Sherry has moved to using vinyl and vintage fabric (if you think you like a bag from the outside, wait to see the inside-the fabrics Sherry uses will make you fall in love) but her newest designs are ‘green’…she now loves recycling old leather coats into purses.

Inger Genest, MeMe Cosmetics (www.memecosmetics.net). MeMe is my company, named after my maternal Grandmother. You can find her picture and signature on most of my product labels. I have a diploma in herbal medicine and aromatherapy; both of which I draw from to create my line of all natural, handmade bath, body, face and hair products.

she uses all natural ingredients and has a savvy sense for both daring and soft scents that make her products good for your skin and soothing to your senses.

My favorite products happen to be the body butter, body cream and conditioner for your hair; it’s really hard to say those are my only favorites as i can’t use any other lip balm (hers actually heals your lips, quickly; and there’s a reason why it works so stop by and ask her if her booth isn’t to packed!)

as well the beer shampoo, as demanded by my curly locks, (this shampoo is my hairs favorite).  So stop by her website and make sure to stop by her booth, if all you do is buy the lip balm, your lips will be forever grateful!
