I want to take a moment to introduce some friends who also create. While my felt designs are but a hobby, these women make their living from their art, and I’d like to give them a shout out. I’ll be doing some of my holiday shopping with these women!
Wendilee Heath O’Brien
Wendilee amazes me with the scope of her talent. She brings scenes of Maine to life with her art using Watercolor, Pastel, Oil, and Gold Leaf. You’ll find fabulous works in her studio whopaints in Winter Harbor and on her website. You’ll also find posters and note cards for sale on the whopaints Etsy site here.
Maeve Perry
Maeve is a wonderful, vivacious woman who creates art that brings good feelings to people of all ages. Her work is wonderfully whimsical, while other items are startlingly realistic. She also takes commissions for custom pieces. Shop at https://maeveperry.com/.
Krissy Tatangelo – KTAT Designs
Krissy designs beautiful handcrafted jewelry. Both Hannah and I are proud to have her earrings and bracelets. You can find her jewelry at some of our local shops like Riverlily and Columbia Falls General Store, but also at her Etsy Shop here.
Mary Peakin – Mary’s Flags, Etc.
Mary’s Flags are made in Maine by Mary Peakin. She has a flag for every season, celebration, and event. She also creates custom flags from your photos or ideas. They’re something special. Check out her site online at https://marysflagsetc.com.
Amy Van Natter – The Eternal Knot Studio
Amy Van Natter creates fun embroidered totes, purses, table linens, and home decor. Some of my favorite of her designs include delightful plaid lobster items (plaid!) and her original Maine State Flag totes and pillows. See her available work on Etsy here https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheEternalKnot and her website at https://www.eternalknotstudio.com/.
Jada Fitch
Jada is a friend of a friend, and I LOVE her illustrations. She, too, is fascinated with the natural world and wildlife. Of course, her owls and birds are among my favorite works. Discover Jada’s work on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/JadaFitch.
