New Fiber Tools for Easy

We have listed three new fiber tools in our Etsy shop today. The top whorl drop spindle features an alcohol ink and resin insert. The pin cushion/needle minder is a new tool in our Cascade Collection. Thanks for looking!

Cascade Collection Tatting Shuttle

Dave has recently added an airbrush system to his studio, and as such has added a new line of tatting shuttles he is calling his Cascade Collection. Three of these new tatting shuttles are on the way to our Etsy shop.

Dave was inspired by the Fernware shuttles made in Mauchline, Scotland during the 19th century. The unique shuttles, sewing notions and boxes were decorated by using real fern leaves and other floral leaves in a reverse stenciling technique to develop beautiful designs that were shaped by nature. Since we live in the heart of the Cascade Mountain region and have an abundance of ferns and other floral leaves available, Dave wanted to reproduce an artisan shuttle similar to the antique shuttles once produced in Scotland. His Cascade Collection shuttles will include those with designs on a single side as well as some with double sides. He hopes to expand the collection to include other fiber tools such as spindles and spool knitters.

GMA Product Photos

Blogger seems to be having an issue with their photo service, and all of our photos are missing. We are hoping this is a temporary technical problem since we have ten years of product photos posted here. If you would like to see our portfolio of fiber art tools and jewelry, please visit our Flickr gallery.

Wearable Art Alcohol Ink Pendants on Etsy

Jo has introduced a new line of wearable art pendants to our Etsy shop. She has created them using alcohol ink on glass. Each glass "canvas" has been set in a silver plate bezel. Prices range from $18-$23. A flat suede cord and gift box are included, and shipping is always free within the United States.

Fossil Mammoth Ivory Tatting Shuttle

Dave has carved this beautiful 2 1/2" post tatting shuttle from fossil mammoth ivory. He has handcarved a rose motif into one side. You can find this unique tatting shuttle in our Big Cartel online store. You can also reach our Big Cartel shop by clicking the  "GMA on Big Cartel" link above this post. Thanks for looking!

Celtic Style Tatting Shuttles

If you are a recent customer of Grizzly Mountain Arts, you have seen Dave's new Celtic style tatting shuttles. He is making them from beautifully colored Spectra-Ply, as seen in the photo above.  We currently sell all of our wooden fiber art tools in our online Etsy shop, but they do sell out quickly.

New Spindles for Etsy

Three new spindles have been listed in our Etsy shop this evening, including a much requested "Victorian".

New Fossil Ivory Jewelry

We have recently added several new pieces of fossil ivory jewelry to our Big Cartel online shop. All of our fossil ivory pieces can be shipped worldwide.

New Fossil Ivory Jewelry

It's been awhile since we have had any fossil ivory jewelry for sale. We used to sell it at art shows here in Central Oregon and on Etsy, but now we are selling it exclusively in our Big Cartel store. We will be adding more pieces in the future.

New Ceramic Pendants on Etsy!

Just when we thought we had found the last stash of ceramic pendants, we found some more! In this latest stash there are several of our original Celtic Druid's Egg© pendants, one of our original design Buckquoy Blessing Stone© pendants and one remaining Norse rune pendant. These will be the last earthenware pendants I will have for sale as I am no longer making these. You can view the pendants currently for sale by visiting our Etsy shop. For our newer customers, I used to sell my earthenware pendants on Etsy as "Good Dirt Jewelry", but I decided several years ago to combine my shop with Dave's.

We will be selling all of our fossil ivory items in this shop exclusively, so be sure and check in often to see what other fiber tools Dave has been making. You will find a handy tab at the top of this post that will take you directly to our Big Cartel shop. Thanks for checking it out!

New Handspinning Tools on Etsy

We will have an update to our Etsy shop tomorrow, Monday, at 2pm Pacific time that will include a carved moose antler spindle, four alternative ivory spindles and an acorn spindle. If our unreliable internet goes down we will post the new spindles as soon as possible. We are trying to get some last minute camping, fishing and other fun things like house painting done before winter arrives and this just works best for us. Until further notice, we will only be posting new items on Mondays.
