Ansilla Barrandeguy has been knitting for fun since childhood, a time when all little girls learned to knit, sew, crochet and embroider as a matter of course, rather than as a craft. Her hand knit children’s and adults’ scarves are fabulously colorful and comfy—as well as stylish.
Judy Fejeran creates hand knit baby and children’s caps, and scarves—they're cozy, cute and unique, using a variety of colors and designs. These “Cozies” will soon be on sale at Pink Lemonade, a Willow Glen children’s store.
Mary Brautigam does all kinds of crafts, but mostly stamping, and she teaches rubber-stamp art to her friends. She finds rubber stamping and card making to be a relaxing and enjoyable activity that satisfies the creative urges. The time required to complete a typical card fits well into a busy and demanding life. Mary also makes beautiful silk scarves.  
Linda Lavasani is a mixed media artist. About eleven years ago she discovered the world of rubber stamping and things haven't been the same since! Stamping is the base core of most of her work whether it be her cards, polymer clay boxes and mirrors, collage and metal art, or domino jewelry creations. Using unique color combinations and found objects is her trademark. Most of her pieces are one of a kind. She teaches various technique classes at Stampers Warehouse in Danville. Several pieces of her art have been featured in and on the covers of two books produced by Kooler Design Studio, Inc. For more >> Linda's website
