Michele's Art & Apparel
The completed Slouchy Hats are on the top of the page. I've always intended to create these adorable hats to be adorned properly. Fully customizable from start to finish as with Anything I would create for you.
The first of many. Mind you, this hat took months to create. I do not follow someone's patterns to ANY degree. More details, obviously, on the new page.

While "building" the Rasta Hat
(only using my own planning &
patterns), the thought naturally occurred that I should bring you into how & WHY I choose every bit of the creation. This is Super-Great advice that I wish I'd had decades ago. Please be patient with the progress of this page. Please offer your own advice and comments!!! Everyone's thoughts added are only a PLUS and appreciated.
Consignment Shop. Future plans of getting these great finds into my own brick'n'morter will be soon.
Wonderful selection of headbands. Wear them as they are, wide and beautiful or adorned with my flowers.
This is Edith. She is
a Pretty Bee on a
gilded spoon.
I'm featuring
my beautiful
daughter's
creations - on her
very own page.
She's quite talented.
Check out her work.
She, like myself, is easy to work
with and open to making
custom designs.

Hand Cozy
Keeps your hand warm while
you're using a mouse
or...anytime. (Just "Right" or
for both hands if you wish).
​
​
Slouches - adorable, customized hats. Lined or
not. I will probably add a brim to the next set.
​
These are gorgeous. Very elaborate or very simple.
Adult Bibs fashionable, washable, pocket and stainproof.
​
Wrap Your Head-head wraps for guys, gals and babies!

Hand Sculptures
These are actually to display my Flower Rings. Very unique.
The base of them is also a music box. Quite a feat of design, I must say.

George Harrison III (not for sale)
Madeline Abraham (see below)
starting with the same beginnings as George, she is a work in progress and "a piece of work"/whimsical. I'm open to suggestions on any kind of marionette you would like. This is new for me, so we'll see how it works out.
Tatted Wine Bag. Gorgeous.

Just one of the many
You can design it, I'll make it. These, in miniature, are perfect for wedding favors. They will fit YOUR theme and be MEANINGFUL
keepsake.

Capes -
Truly lovely. This one is made from Luxe Fleece. Each individual flower (hood and pocket embellishments) are handmade by me as well. Customize your own design and I will be happy to make it for you.

One of the twenty mini corsages made for the members of the Key Note Chorus, (Portville, NY). For their Spring concert, ~2013).

Marionettes.
FROM this
Beginning
To THIS...
certainly not the end...but she's a
work in PROGRESS
See all the steps in between. Of course, she is not done yet. (10/10/22) But, she is a trip! Hair, actual skin color, painted nails, etc. Oh, Ma'Dame is wonderful.
Both Marionettes ~12" tall.
This is George Harrison, III.
He's my marionette puppet.
My daughter named him. She's the chick (BELOW) in the Bubblegum headband.
​
He's wearing one of the headbands I've recently made.

Randi -
The Panda-Squirrel.
Usually, she's very well-behaved but she has her moments...here she's photo-bombing the picture of my honeysuckle.
She's felted and I'm very attached
to her. She's my first attempt at felting. I have more very cute
felted creations as well. She is ~3" tall.
Capes. I take what I do very seriously.
I can also work more minimally on a piece if that's what is called for.


Rasta Hats--
Rasta Fashions
The longer, striped hat (above) was inspired by my beautiful daughter, Alyx Eddins (pictured on the right). She proudly wears dreads and like her mom, is making her mark on the world she lives in. Blessed with big hair and it's challenges this hat is perfect in keeping the style well fashioned.

Know WHAT it is you want...first.
Then how to go about it.
You can call me and ask questions or schedule an appointment if you would like some help with your project.

Adult Bibs - stylish, easy to wear and wash - (Scotchgarded so that they are stain-resistant) and a pocket to catch dropped food. Easily customizable - fabric/size, etc.
Mom's work, This adorable hat is crocheted. Boho. Definitely could be as is or add flowers.
This is one of those accessories that can be truly YOUR own design.
Perfect for coordinating your bridal parties accessories...and certainly one that can be worn everyday as well.
​
Versatile!! Have a variety of them to accessorize every occasion.

School colors are a great idea...
This is Saint Bonaventure's University (Allegany, NY) colors, for example.


Men's & Ladies and children's sizes available. Fireproof fabric or longer tails for welders are also options.
"See a Need and Fill It"...that's my constant duty and I Love what I do. There isn't probably too much more out there in this world that I feel is more satisfying. Improve...build up...re-purpose...be happy....help others enjoy the fruits of life, what more can we do?
Again, with God's gifts, we do what we can, in the most positive way and....just DO. This is what I do. Enjoy.
