Cortni Frecha – Hats, paintings, greeting cards
In love with fiber for years, I make wool felt hats: knit and washed, they’re warm, sturdy and durable for the sloppiest weather. Each hat is one of a kind. Some hand-knit hats too.
I originally intended to decorate my house with Victorian style fancy trim of my own devising. As I began to sketch, animals crept in. The painted wood format is still meant as an architectural ornament. Much of my work goes nicely above a door or window indoors or in a protected location outside. Other pieces make an interesting departure from framed art, drawing the wall into the cut out spaces. Pieces range in size from 12” square to 3’ x 4’. Small works in paint, pencil and pastel.

Lily Baddour–Baddour Designs
Fifteen years ago, Lily Baddour went to a bead show looking for
just one little strand of pearls to make a bracelet ...!!… She came
home with an armful of beads that were too beautiful to leave
behind, and so her jewelry creations began. Her intriguing,
unusual designs incorporate semiprecious stones, freshwater
pearls, exotic sterling silver and 14k gold in ways that celebrate
the beauty of nature. Lily also enjoys designing custom pieces
that coordinate with a special outfit, and reworking a favorite but
broken necklace into something exciting and fresh.
