Happy New Years!!!

This is a new start to a new year for Hardcastle Folk Art!
In looking back at this poor blog that I have sadly ignored for a long time, I see that I have not told you that I now have a shop downtown Eureka Springs,Ar. My fiber art pieces can now be found there and I also have rug hooking,felting, punch needle,quilting and wool applique supplies.
I will also be carrying handcrafted pieces by other artists too.
We can be found at 51 Spring Street in Eureka Springs. My partner in the shop "Red Scottie Fiber" carries many kinds of yarns,knitting tools and weaving supplies.
We will be having all kinds of classes this year so stop by and see us.
 
Never stop creating,
Vicki

Few New Things...

 Here are a few of the new things I have been working on lately. I have a new shop in Eureka Spring that is carrying my things.
 I am trying a little taste of "Steampunk". What do you think?
 Do you know who or what this is?
 I found a few of these old dental molds so I just had to make teeth.

Here is one more owl. I am really into making owls right now.


I will show you more soon. I am trying to get my "Etsy" store up and running right now.
Wish me luck!
