Fun, Funky & Chunky Jewelry

by Linda Maloney

Linda tries to bring a bit of nostalgia and whimsy into her designs. She likes to recycle by using as many re-found objects, beads and components in her jewelry as possible. Linda loves the tactile feel of the Mah Jong tiles and wonders how many games have been played with them, oh, wonders what stories they could tell! She is now using old Gumball machine charms, Monopoly and other game pieces in her game pieces long with Bakelite poker chips to make fun necklaces! The whimsical trees are all made in the manner of the glittery trees in the 1950's. These beautiful trees could find a place in your home. You will want to come early to see Linda, a new chick this year, and her wonderful designs.

A charming snow bunny is crafted from paper pulp and carries the message of 'Joy'. Also, be sure to check out the 'march of the pine-guins' !

Kim Mallory

Kim calls her creations Small Joys "fripperies and fancies" delightfully obtuse objects of desire. Along with her paper items, she will have bags of sugar and spice almonds and various decorative odds and ends, framed and otherwise.

Toni Roper

This is Toni's third year with the Chicks. She makes delicious dip and cheese ball mixes that she labels with vintage postcard images. After tasting the samples, you'll want to pick up several to take home. Mmmmmmm good! This year, Toni's new item is a magnetic note board in a vintage frame.

Angela Muir

Angela is a formally trained fashion designer who enjoys crafting with recycled materials.  "I often find that I enjoy the challenge of turning something that has already been used for a certain purpose into something completely different, prolonging the life of the material and wasting less in the long run."  As an example, she creates from recycled coffee bean sacks that  she gets from the Roastarie Coffee Company right here in Kansas City.  Not only are these products green, they are local as well!

Michelle Strong

This is Michelle's first year at Crafty Chicks!  She creates jewelry using the natural beauty of real butterfly wings.  You won't believe the colors!!!  She'll also have some of her lovely little sparrow lockets available.  They're perfect for stocking stuffers.
