Natural reed, about 4.5 inches across by5 inches tall with a lovely cast iron star shaped handle. The star will hang nicely from a hook or nail on the wall or just sit on a surface. Accented with rainbow reed, this can also be made with our other space-dyed colors in the accent rows. Star is 3" wide at widest point.Also available - a cat instead of a star, or a cast-iron stove (nice for storing matches). </em></strong></div><div></div><div>1) What would you like to be known or recognize as a crafter/artisan?<br /><strong><em>Not sure about the question- do you mean how would I like to be known or what would I like to be known "for" (as in "for what works would I like to be known") I'm already recognized locally as a teacher, but I guess it would be nice to be recognized for some kind of unique basket design.<br /><br /></em></strong>2) What motivates or inspire you to do crafting?<br /><strong><em>Right now my motivation is economical, but that seems kind of like a sad sign of the times. There was a time when I created because I was driven to work with my hands and actually see something come out of the designs in my head. I've always "done" something: knitting, crochet, beadwork, handwoven fabric and sewing. Now, it's pretty much just baskets.<br /></em></strong><br />3) Given today as a day you can do whatever you like, how would you spend today?</div><div><strong><em>Ahhh, to do whatever I like? That is rare. Does that mean I wouldn't even have to work on moving or cleaning my studio? I've been weaving in my house, which is horrible, because basketry is very messy. I'm getting ready to move it all into a studio attached to my house. But, if what you mean is whatever I want to do, then I'd probably just want to read all day, hang out in a coffee shop with friends or go to the beach. Or I might spend the day quilting.<br /></em></strong><br />4) What are your favorite designs/creations?<br /><strong>Among my own work, I like my Cherokee baskets best. I also love the larger pieces that I can't put on Etsy or ArtFire, because they're too big and/or fragile to ship. </strong></div><strong><br /><div></strong></div>5) Where can they see your crafts and designs? <div><strong><em><a href="http://www.basketrybotanica.artfire.com/">www.basketrybotanica.artfire.com</a></em></strong></div><div><strong><em><a href="http://www.basketrybotanica.etsy.com/">www.basketrybotanica.etsy.com</a></em></strong></div><div> </div><div></div><div><strong><em>Right now, it's all on Etsy and Artfire. I also have a new website at basketrybotanica.com. If you have trouble finding it, try again in a few days.</em></strong></div><br /><div>6) What’s the best customer service you can offer? <em><strong>The customer is always right. That can be a pain if I get a customer who takes unfair advantage of me (grrrr), but for the most part, it's the best policy. Good customer service is becoming hard to find, so if you provide that, people will remember when they need more baskets.<br /></strong></em><br />7) What’s your hopes and desire for your crafting?<br /><em><strong>I'd like to keep weaving until I'm too old and too tired. Maybe even that won't stop me. I may give up every other craft, except I think I"ll keep quilting. I still would like to have a floor loom again someday and weave fabric again. There was a time when I produced fabric and loom-shaped garments and sold them in galleries and at art shows. I don't think I can do that kind of production again, but I'd still like to be able to weave one-of-a-kind garments again someday. Can't afford the loom, materials or space to create on such a large scale anymore, but I still haven't stopped thinking about it.<br /></strong></em><br />8) Can you share a message to fellow crafters/artisans?<br /><strong><em>Sharpen your focus. I think I'd be doing a lot better if I'd stopped trying to be so many things much sooner. If you enjoy a lot of craft areas, don't try to spread yourself too thin in your commercial endeavors. If you can use multiple crafting skills in a focussed product line, that's good. One person shouldn't drive herself too crazy trying to produce too many lines at one time. </em></strong></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877361075289398942.post-25288969569972314642009-03-31T18:28:00.001-07:002009-04-01T11:07:55.695-07:00Bonnie Bear "Star of the Day"<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XYJvktzndvo/SdOtUxHAntI/AAAAAAAAAGs/DErMTP6EEYI/s1600-h/bonnie+bag.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319786157146414802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XYJvktzndvo/SdOtUxHAntI/AAAAAAAAAGs/DErMTP6EEYI/s320/bonnie+bag.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Name: <strong><em>Bonnie Johnson</em></strong><br />Company: <em><strong>BonnieBear Crafts: Handmade with Love</strong></em><br />State: <strong><em>Delaware<br /></em></strong></div><br /><div>Featured Product: <strong><em>Sedona Felted Art Purse</em></strong></div><br /><div>Description: <strong><em>Have you ever seen the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona?

I just can’t seem to knit as fast as I create which can be frustrating. I am always interested in exploring different crafts and learning different skills.

While studying Fine Arts, I found that when you\'re labeled as an \"artist\" you have to constantly justify yourself and your art. When it comes to crafts, people are a lot more light hearted about their works and the community surrounding their works and interests. This is a lot more appealing to me. </em></strong></div><br /><div>2) What motivates or inspire you to do crafting?</div><div> <strong><em>Besides what I\'ve mentioned above, being creative is a force that has always driven me. I can\'t go for too long without being creative. It relaxes me. I start to get anxious if it\'s been too long since I\'ve done something creative. I also LOVE holidays (Halloween being my favourite) and being crafty fits perfectly with holiday celebrations. I\'m also inspired by autumn colours, darker arts, and sometimes, just by anything cute! What motivates me one day can be the total opposite of what motivates me the next. </em></strong></div><br /><div>3) Given today as a day you can do whatever you like, how would you spend today? </div><div><strong><em>Well, today is Saturday and I don\'t have to work so I slept in. That was a good start! If we are imagining a perfect day I would be with my man, be pain free (I have ankylosing spondylitis), my dogs would get to go to the dog park and run around, there would be twice as many hours in the day, I would sculpt a HUGE creepy scarecrow in the autumn sun, then play around with some clay, and later play with paper! We would finish the day off by cuddling (with my man and all the dogs) on the couch while watching a NEW tim burton film. Oh, while eating fresh berries :) </em></strong></div><br /><div>4) What are your favorite designs/creations? <strong><em></em></strong></div><div><strong><em>Anything Halloween or Autumn.</em></strong><br /><br />5) Where can they see your crafts and designs? Flickr, Art Fire, Etsy, or my Blog. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25939453@N08/"><strong><em>http://www.flickr.com/photos/25939453@N08/</em></strong></a><strong><em> </em></strong><a href="http://shesbattydesigns.artfire.com/"><strong><em>http://shesbattydesigns.artfire.com/</em></strong></a><strong><em> </em></strong></div><div><a href="http://shesbattydesigns.etsy.com/"><strong><em>http://shesbattydesigns.etsy.com/</em></strong></a><strong><em> </em></strong></div><div><a href="http://shesbattydesigns.blogspot.com/"><strong><em>http://shesbattydesigns.blogspot.com/</em></strong></a><strong><em> </em></strong></div><br /><div>6) What’s the best customer service you can offer? </div><div><strong>I always make sure I know EXACTLY what people want when doing a custom order. Thanking buyers is also huge and ensuring you go the extra mile with every step of the buying process.. go ABOVE what YOU would expect from a buyer. </strong></div><br /><div>7) What’s your hopes and desire for your crafting?</div><div> <em><strong>I hope that I can devote more time to it in the future. For this to happen it would have to bring in at least a part time income. This would be an amazing goal for me to meet if I could only work part time out side of the home. Thankfully I have a full time job that I LOVE - I work at an animal shelter. If I am unable to continue at the animal shelter in the future than I would only want to work part time outside of the home and spend the rest of the time at my studio :) Ultimately, my hopes are to continue to love crafting and to continue to get great joy from it. </strong></em></div><br /><div>8) Can you share a message to fellow crafters/artisans? </div><div><strong><em>Take the time each day to do something creative.

Then with time I learned to love being the oddball.

I HAVE to make things. Having A.D.D. helps, because everything I see or read or hear gets churned through my head until it's been warped into a new idea. You should see my little "To Make" notebook, I've barely made a dent in it.</em></strong> </div><div><br />Given today as a day you can do whatever you like, how would you spend today? </div><div><strong><em>I'd go back home to Florida and chase the sun: wake up before dawn on the east coast and watch the sun rise over the Atlantic, then make my way slowly across the state (maybe eating at Denny's and shopping at Target, I miss both very much) until it's time for the sun to set over the Gulf of Mexico. I spent my entire 30 years there and never once did it. </em></strong></div><div><strong><em><br /></em></strong>What are your favorite designs/creations? </div><div><strong><em>Out of my own creations, probably my dollhouse food. I've adored making miniatures since I was a little girl with my Play-Doh. Of all the other designs and creations out there, I love the macabre the most.
