Diane Mack
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.

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.

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.
