EclecticOddities offers a variety of handcrafted goodies

EclecticOddities opened on ArtFire.com 12-4-08.  The shop categories include ART - MIXED MEDIA, BUTTONS AND MAGNETS, HANDBAGS, CUSTOM COSTUMES, JEWELRY - ADORNMENTS, PLUS SIZED CLOTHING, POUCHES AND TOTES, QUILTS - HANGINGS, WEARABLE FIBER ART, NOTE CARD SETS, HOLIDAYS - SPECIAL DAYS.  Her studio announcement reads: "Eclectic Oddities is a collection of handmade items, created by a retired art teacher with too much time on her hands, and an overactive drive to keep busy!
Each item is one of a kind, and in some cases the style may be the same, but the materials vary, so that each piece is an original.
I love doing custom work, so feel free to request an item that you may not see in the Studio.
You will find fiber/wearable arts, jewelry, paper goods, odd bits/pieces and misc. clothing articles.
I am currently adding a couple of items a day, so check back now and then for new listings. Most will be new items, not found in my Etsy shop.

Her biography reads: "Retired high school art and theatre teacher.
A crafter, quilter, designer, costumer and seamstress for over 50 years. Learned to sew at the age of 7, and with a degree in Fashion Design from the early 60's, I have continued to be a fanatical seamstress through all the years since.
I both acted in and costumed local theatre groups for 30 years, and have recently started doing some costuming for Renaissance Faire devotees.
I love all things 4 footed and furry, as well as our feathered friends. Live with 4 cats and feed all the neighborhood strays, and I also helped pay for spaying and neutering of over 20 of them. There are at least 15 regulars who stop by daily, and of those, 6 or 7 have taken up permanent residency in my garage.
My interests and skills are varied, thus the eclectic nature of my studio and the handmade items therein."
