We feel that an item is not totally complete unless there is embellishment or surface design of some sort! We hope to encourage you to join us in our madness. The pieces below show many different techniques of surface design that we hope you will try out on your artwork. On top of the surface design they have been heavily embellished with beads, threads, yarn, and found objects, whatever has struck the fancy of the artist. These pieces are all the work of Janelle Girod, one of the owners, but in the future we will be spotlighting other artists work on this gallery page. All works below ARE COPYRIGHTED.
