Last but certainly not least, Sharif Pendleton at Crafty Balboa Holiday tomorrow!

SHARIF PENDLETON


Hi. I’m Sharif Pendleton, a Philadelphia based multimedia artist. As such, I have always worked in a multidisciplinary way – rarely sticking to just one medium or method to create. While I have extreme admiration for artists who master their craft, I have always felt more innovative when I challenge myself to learning and using new methods and materials. In that way I have always been a “Jack of all trades”. It is out of this notion that Masters of None was born.

The Colony by Jay McCarroll


hello folks! welcome to the colony. what is the colony you ask? well...think of it as a hive of sorts. it's like a beehive where ideas are thunk up and super cute products by super talented artists and designers are available for your purchasing pleasure. in other words...the website is the hive and the designers are the worker bees and the products are the like the honey, but much less sticky of course and the whole shebang is called "the colony". oh.. and i'm the queen bee :). the colony has just begun to form so keep checking back to watch the hive grow and to see what fun stuff will be swarming around.

RENEW Jewelry


I am inspired by vintage jewelry because of its unique and delicate qualities. There is an emotional connection when you buy a vintage piece. I love the details of the old craftsmanship and the imperfections caused by age

Heidi Roland will be at Crafty Balboa Holiday, will you?

HEIDI ROLAND

Just when you think you have seen it all, an accessory line is born that forges a fashion frontier and breaks the boundaries of feminine adornment: heidiroland daring earrings

Original photographs front and back, heidiroland photo earrings capture striking images of our phenomenal world and the attention of onlookers. With an exciting fusion of abstraction and realism, these daring earrings are reinventing the disposition of women’s accessories.

Historically, women’s adornment has been confining rather than self fulfilling. By contrast, heidiroland caters to the independently spirited. Fearless inside and out, heidiroland’s courageous fashion direction originates from a woman whose vision and attitude are just as strong. This Philadelphia designer has been inspired by the dynamic city in which she lives, seamlessly merging fashion and art. These earrings have turned the heads of the fashion world and re-invigorated accessory adornment.

A bold commitment to innovation drives all of heidiroland’s earring collections which include original photo earrings, hand-painted leaves and stunning feathers. heidiroland collections are featured at boutiques across the nation and on women across the world.

Made with Awesome at Crafty Balboa Holiday this SATURDAY!

MADE WITH AWESOME 
 
Evan Ferstenfeld and Roni Lagin met in the Fall of 2008. A chance encounter of Roni recognizing Evan after a Ben Folds concert prompted a successful partnership that has held strong through the ages. Their appreciation of wearable art on torso fabric along with the rest of the world's exasperation at two people talking about t-shirts for hours a day helped their friendship turn into a burgeoning new business enterprise. Evan Ferstenfeld's current "real" job is working in an ER saving lives through processing endless paperwork, and Roni Lagin is a graphic designer.

I am a printmaker and doodler, and owner of Zucchini & Co.  I adore fonts, letters, and words. I also love the smell of linoleum and the  touch of all kinds of paper. The eponymous Zucchini is my 6-year old doxie, I love her very much and she sits and watches me craft and drink coffee in the morning. I'm just the "& Co." part of the deal.
