Meet Our Makers

Meet the Maker: Laurie! I create unique art jewelry from re-purposed copper. All my work is handmade by me.I also play with beads as that is where I started in the world of jewelry! I took classes in 2001 and learned the art of working with metal. I had some wonderful instructors, Dawn Nakanishi and Carol Holiday. I also had the opportunity to take an etching work shop from the late great Carol Webb. These three women changed my world of jewelry making forever! After a two year class marathon I stopped and decided to work on my style. A...

Meet the Maker: Deborah! Deborah Miller is the owner and creator at Totes By Clydesdale. I have been sewing tote bags since August 2015. It started with one bag for my daughter. I enjoyed sewing it, so I made more, and more; and it kept growing until I gave tote bags to everybody that holiday season. Then my tote bags were available for sale at a coffee shop in Cupertino that sold handmade items of various sorts (it has since changed ownership and doesn't sell crafts any more). My daughter suggested that I sew bottle/ gift bags, so I have added those. A friend likes aprons, so...

Meet the Maker: Sherry! I have painted most of my life. I started painting at a church bazaar to raise money for the church school. That's when I decided that I needed to learn more. I have painted many years and have painted with approximately 47 well known teachers. I love what I do, but still trying to get better! View Sherry's Whole Collection Here!

Meet the Maker: Mary! I have loved to sew and craft since my mother, a sewing perfectionist, introduced me to sewing when I was a youngster, and then bought me my first sewing machine when I was 11.  When I retired from the corporate world a few years ago, I decided to create a small business where I could use my passion to sew, and my love of fabrics to create a variety of items.  My products include purses, crossbody and tote bags, purse accessories, kitchen and table products, baby items, and more.    Travel and taking pictures during travels...

Meet Our Maker: Susan! I never liked sewing, but then around the time Cirque du Soleil hit the scene, all of a sudden I started getting ideas for weird, whimsical dolls. So I turned to fabric and started experimenting.  Many years and many experimental dolls later I'm still sewing.  I love combining prints and colors in maybe unexpected ways and a piece of fabric can inspire a new creation.  Along with the dolls I make those cute mice pincushions.  They take on a life of their own as soon as I add the eyes. Hope you enjoy. View Susan's Whole Collection Here
