I am telling you about this person because her work is exactly that...Wonderous! AND....I tell you about her work knowing full well I will be bidding against you when her things become available on her ebay store, Wonderousthings and at the Primitive Folk Art Trinkets and Treasures Market Place. She is one of those artists that you come across and go.........WOW! I GOTTA HAVE THAT! All of her work is one of a kind or no two alike. And the only thing she wants the world to know is that she does NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT, do special orders, or actually orders of any kind. She's a true artist and she just likes to just make what she feels like making at the time. Here is a peek (or maybe I should say Peep Peep)!
These baby chicks are her own original design, and are made from yellow wool felt, with a blanket stitch embroidered edging. They have a golden yellow wool felt beak, bead eyes, and wire, embroidery floss wrapped legs. It took her a WHOLE day to figure out those legs..... They stand on a 2" round, painted, zig zag edged piece of matt board. Too cute!!!
These are examples of her Pinkeepers. Elona has been making one of a kind Pinkeepers (or pincushions if you prefer) for quite a while now. Her original design pinkeepers were inspired by the Pennsylvania German's "Make do's" which were pincushions made from whatever they had lying about. Her pinkeeper bases are built piece by piece from wooden parts, then hand painted and once again....NO TWO are ever alike!
The detail on her work is just amazing!
And that's not all she does! Elona has lots of things that she creates. Take a look at other things I tried to obtain!
She has three cats of her own.
Are these too cool or what?! Well, I wish you luck in obtaining her work...but most of all I just think you should be able to know these kind of artists are out here! Take care, Elona, keep working your little fingers to the bone because you make fantastic stuff!
