The Handcrafter's Cottage

A few months ago I thought it would be fun to set up a network for those of us who love to make things with our hands. I got my network set up, got a couple friends and then boom, it started to take off like a rocket. We currently have 21 very, very talented artisans on the site and look forward to welcoming many more to come.

Here are just a few of the amazing artisans we have on this site.

You will find a lady who does dolls so realistically they look like real babies, Her booth http://www.bonanzle.com/GrandmaGail. . You'll be blown away by her work.

You'll find a lady who does many different types of crafts, tile paintings, ceramics, woodwork, her work is amazing and that's not surprising when she's been doing it for over half a century. Her booth http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/Somethingpretty.
