I haven't featured a knitter or a painter in awhile and guess what!? Our next featured Etsy artist does BOTH. Plus a few extra things like sewing and jewelry making. She's a regular jack of all trades.
Say hello to Mildred of Milark's Creative Connections on Etsy. If you take a look through her shop, you can see a whole variety of different and unique things from original works of art to various knitted and crocheted items to even cute little earrings!
She also has a blog! Go ahead and check it out here.
A resident of Heartland, Iowa(hey, were state neighbors!), Mildred got started with Etsy when her daughter-in-law recommended the site. Of course Mildred had to check it out and shortly there after thought it was a great thing to do because she loves to handcraft things and she did have some vintage things she could contribute to her shop.
And Milark's Creative Connections was born!Mildred has been doing her crafts for some time now. She told me that she started out with the handwork when she was quite young and got into some of the other things, like painting, when her kids where a little older and out of the baby stage.
As for her preferance for materials, well, as I said above she is a jack of all trades! Here is what she had to say about what she uses; "I work with artists’ oils, acrylic, pastel,watercolor; I work with all types of yarn; I work with different kinds of fabric."
Everyone has inspiration, and when questioned, Mildred told me that her inspiration comes from her faith in the Bible and Savior Jesus Christ. Honestly, you can feel it when you walk into the store. It's a very powerful energy!
If you haven't yet, go on over and cruse through the store. There are items starting at $1.50 and scaling all the way up to $85.00, but I assure you, the pricing and quality are both more then fair!
I am in complete agreement with Mildred on the fact that Etsy is a wonderful place with wonderful people. "One important thing about Etsy is the special people you meet. One special friend I have is now fighting cancer." You never know who you are going to meet until it's time to meet them. Love and Energies go out to your friend!
Some things you should know about Mildred:
*Paypal payment is prefered, however she does accept RME or money orders. You just have to let her know before hand.
*Custom orders are most welcome so make sure to message her with any request you have!
*Shipping is usually next day.
Knitting, crocheting, sewing, painting, jewelry making, and that't not even all of it! Mildred of Milark's Creative Connections pretty much does it all in her lovely shop over at Etsy. Her prices are fair, her merchandise is beautiful, and her connection with her faith can be viewed through everything she creates. I highly suggest just going around and taking a quick peek in her shop!
Love and Energies.
