A little in her own words:

Getting inspiration from dreams, I have been an artisan for 20 years. Incorporating elements of collage, rubber-stamping and found object art, My work is both abstract and representational.

I am a designer of art dolls,felted items, as well as a serious fiber artist.

Fabric art is my primary medium now. Besides pouches, pins and wall hangings, I combine the color and texture of fabric arts with my expertise in felting in order to create dynamic
scarves and shawls.

A big thank you to everyone that participated in the EART Team Easter Egg Hunt. The following hunters were selected at random by the participating EART shops:

Watch the mail for your prizes and thanks again for playing.

EART is the Eclectic Artisans Team. We're a group of people who create varied arts and crafts and a variety of genres - knitting, polymer clay, jewelry, cards, stuff for kids, and more.

Instead of posting a featured artist this Friday, we'd like to invite you to give the EART a try, especially if you've been looking for a way to promote your etsy shop and make some new friends.

What do we do?

Monthly group promotional activities, like a scavenger hunt, challenge or trunk show
Promote each other through blogging, facebook, treasuries, etc.
Visit our team forum regularly to chat and share about our crafts and our lives

What are the requirements?

Participation in the monthly group promotional activities 2 out of every 3 months
Helping with team tasks when needed
Promoting teammates through etsy treasuries and/or social networking sites
Tagging your etsy items with tag "eart team"
Checking in to the forum regularly

It's a commitment, but not a huge one, and joining a team like EART is a great way to promote your etsy shop!

Interested? Visit our forum or send a convo to michellescharmworld on etsy.

Want to check out the EART members? Type "eart team" into the etsy search bar.

Ready for Easter? Let's have a hunt!
Browse through the following Eart Team shops
and hunt for the egg images you see in this post!
Each shop will be hiding BOTH of these eggs in TWO of their
listings, it's up to you to find them! Under each participating
shop link, you will see the prize they are giving away to ONE
of the lucky people that finds the egg!

How to play?
Head to the participating shop by clicking on any shop link.

Look in their listings for ONE of the eggs.

Take the listing NAME and LINKS where the eggs are hidden and send a CONVERSATION
through ETSY to the shop owner.

Make sure you do this for both eggs in order to be entered to win in that shop. Enter in as many shops as you want.

It's that simple! However, don't delay, the Hunt only lasts until April 1st. Then you wait and we will announce the winner on April 5th!

Want another entry?
Purchase something from that shop and send the link to your transaction
along with the egg link to your shop owner or another chance to win!
Good Luck and Happy Easter!!!
Shops you can Hunt in:
