Autumn Grimwood

Autumn’s Crochet Creations

Autumn Grimwood

Autumn is the maker and heart behind Autumn’s Crochet Creations, a small business she began in 2022 as a young stay at home mother and student searching for a hobby that could be easily set down and picked back up in the midst of busy family life. What started as a creative outlet soon became a true passion. Self-taught through YouTube tutorials, Autumn quickly fell in love with the art of amigurumi — the craft of creating crocheted toys — and became especially drawn to the vibrant colors and soft textures of plush yarns. Now a proud mother of three boys four years old and under, Autumn continues to design and handcraft intricate plush toys, each one made with care and attention to detail. To make every piece truly one-of-a-kind, she also hand-paints the eyes on her creations, adding a unique and personal touch. Autumn’s greatest joy comes from raising her family and seeing the smiles her crocheted creations bring to people of all ages. Every stitch made with creativity, love, and a little bit of magic.

Surrounded by a place where hard work still matters, Brenda reclaims industrial materials shaped by labor, weather, and time. Rust, dents, and wear aren’t cleaned away—they’re kept as proof of endurance. Through cutting, welding, and reshaping, salvaged steel is pushed into sculptural form, carrying its past forward instead of pretending it never existed. 

Janice Gaedtke

Janice Gaedtke Gourd Art

Janice Gaedtke

After immersing myself for 15 years in painting watercolors, I discovered the unique art of gourd craft a few years ago, drawn to the natural “imperfect” beauty and versatility of gourds. What began as a curious exploration blossomed into a full-fledged passion. I started with gourd birdhouses, then I expanded to include bowls, pots and vases. Each gourd, with its distinct shape and texture, serves as a canvas for my creativity. Combining simple traditional techniques along with innovative designs, I transform these humble natural forms into an original piece of art. Through careful carving, pyrography, dremel work, painting and embellishments, I try to bring out the hidden potential in every gourd, celebrating their organic beauty and uniqueness.

LRae Painting

Lisa R. Walker

By the gracious beauty of those artists in my life, who have inspired and encouraged me, I am a self-taught painter of God's creations He has made for us to enjoy and behold! Starting mostly in the early 2000's as I was to begin an adventure with my amazing grandmother, oil painter who loved Glacier Park; we planned our journey together to paint, it became, instead, a precious time spent with my aunts watching over her in death. This prompted me to "get with it", honoring her name in my own painting! I found my love of nature came easily to canvas and still enjoy. I have grown through stages and mediums, always learning, but have focused the past few years on painting glass (& misc. items) with food safe enamel paints, baked on for durability. Having made some specials wedding pieces and yearly holiday items to every day useful items, painting a wide range with prices from $15 to collector pieces, for all to enjoy! As a side note, I acquired the nickname "Bug" at 2 years old, still applicable today! Regarding this, I place a bug, whether obvious or hidden on all my pieces.
