My name is Mary. My business name is M L I Creations. I am an artist and very passionate about my work. I love to create and am always experimenting with new things. I do laser engraving, airbrushing, wood burning, wood carving and gourd art. I am now experimenting with resin jewelry and am really enjoying learning that process. I create custom work to suit my customer’s needs. I can laser engrave on just about any medium; wood, leather, glass, etc. Here is just a small sample of some of my work, Enjoy!

Mack.Diane7@gmail.comPysanky Style Decorated Eggs. Pysanky means "to write". The egg is decorated by hand with a wax resist dye technique involving a series of dye baths and waxing. She learned this technique as a child from her Coratian grandmother. 40 years later, she says, "after finding the tool my dad made for me to "write" on the eggs, I rekindled my love for the art". These unique eggs make wonderful gifts.

Ruth Cross has a variety of handcrafted items... her main focus is basket weaving, but she also quilts, paints, and makes jewelry. When she’s set up for craft shows, she often demonstrate basket weaving. Her $1 rack of necklaces and bracelets are a hit with her youngest customers.
Here you will find handmade jewelry of all kinds. Most are one-of-a-kind pieces. Most are made with genuine gemstones of all kinds, tarnish-free/hypoallergenic metals, or copper, and stainless steel. I provide cleaning supplies & instructions for the copper & steel for free. I also provide a free 20" chain with any pendant purchased.
Dulcimore Dan
Dulcimore Dan has been following his passion to preserve the true American instrument, the Traditional Appalachian Dulcimore. Originating in the Appalachian Highlands, these pieces have remained relatively unchanged for some two hundred years. He is using only air dried indigenous woods, staple frets, and hand rubbed finishes for that high, silvery sound of yesteryear; in short, nothing that wasn’t used hundreds of years ago for that unique, one-of-a-kind sound. Over the past seven years, he has completed over 140 of them! Feel free to visit his web page for more information, or simply e-mail him at dulcimoredan@gmail.com.

Distinctive Gourds, A Sculpture From Nature
https://distinctivegourds.com/
Marty McConnaughey is a sculptural artist whose passion for a natural, organic design is evident in each piece she completes .
It all begins with a humble gourd, most would not give it a second glance. I see it as viable means to create something unique and unexpected. The use of pine needles and other elements from nature brings an organic component that draws the viewer on a tranquil journey.
The hours I spend cleaning, scraping and sanding a gourd allows me the time to study its form, its flaws, its strengths and what will make this piece unique from others. I am compelled to create a sculpture that enhances a wide range of decors: collectors find that there is a strong element in my work that compliments their individual tastes.
I feel truly blessed for the opportunity to use what has been given to me to bring joy and inspiration to others.

My name is Linda Overton Steele. I grew up in Claiborne County/Cedar Fork area of Tazewell, Tennessee. I started "caning" 25 years ago learning under Betty Newman in Kodak, Tennessee. It was a part time hobby while working as a registered nurse. Retiring after 48 years of nursing has given me the opportunity to devote more time to caning. I enjoy having the ability to provide restoration to all levels of antique/vintage furniture. It's a wonderful feeling to see the customer's faces when they first see their loved ones furniture restored to a functional piece they will use and cherish.
Types of caning offered: Restoration/replacement of chairs, benches, stools and other items containing cane or cane products using flat/split reed; the seven-step hand caning; binder cane; sea grass and pre-woven cane.
