Caterpillar Peacock

Today Lindsey of Caterpillar Peacock (http://caterpillarpeacok.artfire.com and http://caterpillarpeacock.blogspot.com) is riding the "Crazy Marketing Train" on ArtFire.com.  Lindsey makes teeny tiny felted hats and very unique felted jewelry.  She is a self described "big weirdo" who's funny, ironic, and off kilter.  That probably explains why she makes those adorable little hats!  First she crochets them, then machine felts them until they're just the right texture, then she blocks them into shape.  She makes berets, fedoras, top hats, all sorts of different hats, as well as beautiful felted jewelry.  Right now she's working on plant inspired projects for spring.  Check out her ivy and vine necklaces and her Calla Lily pin.  They're just perfect for Easter.  Lindsey is inspired by color, nature, comic books, and things from the 50's to the 70's.  She's been crocheting since her mother taught her at the age of 8.  Obviously she's perfected her technique.  Like myself, Lindsey is an artist who simply MUST create.  I certainly understand that creative drive!  Her favorite craft books are the 30+ Creative Hands series from the 70's, which I think is pretty appropriate.  She certainly does have creative hands!

Today Caterpillar Peacock is riding the Crazy Marketing Train. Lindsey is an artist on Artfire who creates teeny tiny little hats and very unique jewelry. You can find her at http://caterpillarpeacock.artfire.com and http://caterpillarpeacock.blogspot.com. She's a self proclaimed "big weirdo" and describes herself as funny, ironic, and off kilter. Which explains why she makes teeny tiny little hats (which I think are just so cute and funny). First she crochets the hats, then machine felts them until they're "just right". Then she blocks them into the desired shape. Not only does she make berets, fedoras, and top hats, but she also makes felted jewelry. Right now she's working on plant inspired jewelry for spring. Pesonally, I like her Calla Lilies. Perfect for Easter. Lindsey says she's inspired by color, nature, things from the 50's to the 70's, comic books, and just about anything interesting. Her mother taught her how to crochet when she was only 8 years old. Like myself, Lindsey is another artist who simply MUST create. I certainly understand that drive to make things. Her favorite craft books are a series from the 70's called Creative Hands, and Lindsey certainly does have creative hands. Her are just a few of her creations.
