Amy Pine
I started my business because of my love for fashion, design, and, of course, handbags! My products are inspired by many things, but my goal is usually to create retro-inspired bags that are somewhat conservative on the outside but vibrant and really fun on the inside. All Amy Pine bags are 100% hand-made (by me!) using rare, interesting, and/or out-of-production vintage fabrics. Most of my bags are limited edition, because when the fabric is gone, there won't be anymore!

By Jen
I’m Jen. By day, I’m an optometrist and the mother of two little girls. And you would think that would be enough to keep my plate full, but I also love being creative! So I spend what little spare time I have making a wide range of collectible crafts. I come from a creative family and started making personalized, handmade gifts for loved ones after completing optometry school. I enjoy all sorts of crafts, such as creating personalized teddy bears, scrapbooking (both paper and digital), rubber stamping, knitting, sewing, needle felting and paper crafts.
Over the years, many people have encouraged me to sell my creations. So here goes!

Cori Crooks
Cori Crooks says she takes inspiration for her work from childhood memories. As native of the San Francisco Bay Area, she had the good fortune to grow up around many different cultures. Her Mexican tile jewelry and decorative world tiles are reflective of her old neighborhood brimming with color, be it the tiled Chicano mural on the side of the local tortilla factory, or the hand painted tiles which wrapped around the building of her community's Portuguese newspaper, or the classical roman shapes that tiled the Spanish mission down the road. These images stuck with Cori and are a direct influence on her design and use of color. She recreates these classical patterns and prints them on to miniature tiles, which then become the foundation of her wearable art. She's an artist, a musician, and a writer. Her first book, "Sweet Charlotte's Seventh Mistake", an artist's memoir, will be released this December by Seal Press. You can check out Cori's miniature Mexican tile jewelry at her ETSY shop, www.ShrunkenCatHeads.etsy.com or read more about her artistic pursuits at www.CoriCrooks.com.

LVK Paper Dolls
Although LVK Paper Dolls was established in 2008, I began my paper doll career when I was seven. I started making additional clothes for the paper dolls my mother bought for me, then I started making my own paper dolls. In recent years, I began making personalized paper dolls for family and friends for birthday and Christmas presents.
The creation of LVK Paper Dolls was inspired by my mother who shared her appreciation of dolls with me and who encouraged me to be artistic.
Each hand-drawn, original LVK Paper Doll is created by me with caring. The collection celebrates the beauty of diversity by offering a wide variety of dolls. The dolls are printed on card stock and they stand from 8 3/4" to 11”. The paper dolls’ clothes are also hand-drawn, printed on heavy weight paper, and are sometimes enhanced with tissue paper, glitter or other materials, which give the clothes an added dimension.
One of the goals of LVK Paper Dolls is to donate some dolls to children's organizations. Another goal is to create paper dolls of historical women (such as Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, Shirley Chisholm, and Madame Curie) who made notable contributions.

I just recently started my etsy site and am excited to get more involved in the crafting arena.

Skeletal Drop Kick & Ochibo
Ochibos are not made from any pattern. The Ochibo ruler, supreme Matriarch of Tartilia, has sent forth her minions to infiltrate our world. I am merely doing her bidding (collecting a bit for keep and housing, of course.) by finding homes for her beloved Ochibos. From what I can gather, they are actually trying to take over our world and help us out a bit. They plan on making their way into politics based on their cuteness (Hey, people vote for worse reasons than that). Once in political control, they will enact peace upon the world and begin to solve our social problems starting with education. From there the plan gets very, very secret and they won't even tell me what they want to do next. I do know that they are very altruistic in nature and have a strong sense of duty to scientific advancement. I often hear them talking about various cures they will be able to share with us once our technology catches up their own. Don't let their cuteness fool you, these little guys are super smart and super empathetic and have it out to make our world better. Here is hoping they succeed.
Skeletal Dropkick is run by Cris Orr, a multi-talented artist. While she has been a published photographer, her new love is ceramics. Her pieces are thrown on the wheel and then altered to form monsters, skulls and cute little critters. She also sculpts, making anthropomorphic animal busts from the depths of her mind. All the clay used is a smooth, white bodied B-mix, cone 10 clay. Monsters make the world go 'round.

Sockdiva
I inherited my busy hands from my mother who sewed, embroidered, and knit as a girl in Costa Rica with her sisters.
I chose the name Sockdiva, because realized that's pretty much ALL I've knit for years! I can finish a pair in a couple of days, but a scarf? It can stay on the needles for months...
Combining my love of sock knitting and omiyage, I created Sock Bugs to hold a sock in progress, although I was told that 'Lava' is now a little girl's purse. I love it! The very popular Baby Bugs are closer to Omiyage', which are meant as a fabric 'gift wrapping'. In Japan, the presentation of a gift is just as important as the gift.
These were originally made from kimono silk scraps. Mine are made of 100% high quality quilting cotton fabric. The patterns I use are my own interpretations of an old Japanese pattern from the Japan Toy Museum in Kodera-cho.

We're two great friends with a passion for good things and anything sweet. Our lives came together in 1993 on the 3rd Floor of Lassen Hall at Chico State (Go Wildcats!).

And we’ve managed to have a lot of fun in the process.

Whitney Still
My name is Whitney Still and I have been making jewelry for the past 16 years or so. I am a newly married woman, and a new mom. Every day is a new and wonderful experience with my little girl.
I have loved art since I could hold a pencil, and thankfully, my parents always encouraged me to keep it up. I took art in high school, where I fell even more in love with pencil and painting, and then went on to college, where I majored in art with an emphasis in painting. I now teach art at River Valley High School in Yuba City, and love it.
I began fooling around with beads when I was a sophomore in high school, and found an irresistible knack for making jewelry. As I got older and more skilled, I tried new ways of doing things, and have also learned a lot from friends and from just looking at others’ work. My favorite materials to work with are: sterling silver and copper wire, glass, semi-precious stones, and found objects. I never thought I would love going to antique stores so much, as my mother used to drag me through them as a child, and all I could think about was how quickly I could get out of there. Now, going to look for old pendants, belt buckles, chains and other findings in those old, dilapidated antique stores is one of my favorite pastimes! It is so fun, breathing new life into something that has been left behind, forgotten; recycling something old into something new.
Making jewelry is something I can do to take my mind off of every day troubles, and feel my creativity flow. It is definitely a passion of mine. I love making whatever my heart desires, but can make special orders if requested, and usually if something needs altering to fit, it is no problem. I hope you enjoy looking…..Please check out my etsy site too!

Cori Crooks
Cori Crooks says she takes inspiration for her work from childhood memories. As native of the San Francisco Bay Area, she had the good fortune to grow up around many different cultures. Her Mexican tile jewelry and decorative world tiles are reflective of her old neighborhood brimming with color, be it the tiled Chicano mural on the side of the local tortilla factory, or the hand painted tiles which wrapped around the building of her community's Portuguese newspaper, or the classical roman shapes that tiled the Spanish mission down the road. These images stuck with Cori and are a direct influence on her design and use of color. She recreates these classical patterns and prints them on to miniature tiles, which then become the foundation of her wearable art. She's an artist, a musician, and a writer. Her first book, "Sweet Charlotte's Seventh Mistake", an artist's memoir, will be released this December by Seal Press. You can check out Cori's miniature Mexican tile jewelry at her ETSY shop, www.ShrunkenCatHeads.etsy.com or read more about her artistic pursuits at www.CoriCrooks.com
