Take-Out Tuesday

 I'm borrowing from an earlier posting of mine on this, the first Take-out Tuesday, where we visit the Peterborough Downtown Craft Market for a little something to go! This week's Take-out Talent is Deborah Sikora.

The fabulously multi-talented Deborah Sikora  and I took Metal Jewellery Making at the Peterborough School of Art, but met years ago when I managed Blue Sky Bead and she taught there. Debbie is a member of The Bead Hive, a group of ladies who...bead, dude. She is also currently selling her work at the Peterborough Downtown Craft Market. You can check the site for dates when Deb will be selling there.

Unlike me, Debbie has the patience of Job and so excels at the most beautifully detailed chain maille. Quite gorgeous! Come to the Market and see some! K? She makes all sorts of jewellery but her creative talents go far beyond 'just beads'!Deb also makes fab paper craft gifts, sculptures and much more. You'll see!

Hey Buddy, This Phone Booth is Being Used!

By day, a mild-mannered Craft Trends reporter. At night though, she becomes a pretty intense Craft Trends reporter!

Please sign up at HandMadeNews to comment pithily...or not, on the flood of articles that I will be producing in the years to come!

And thank you! I'll remember you when!
