GARY SIMMONS - The Silversmith
Gary specializes in sterling silver jewelry pendants. Each piece is hand crafted and is a process of how I'm led to match a shape to a design. Sheep dollars use pre-1900 dollars, and the sheep are cast in sterling silver using a mold I designed and own. I use silver solder to attach the sheep, and each one comes with a rolled Grecco leather 18 inch necklace and each one is handcrafted by me. To view other designs, go to Facebook under Gary the Silversmith.

THE WOOL 'N GARDENER - JAN COLE
The Wool’n Gardener will again be offering a large selection of new hand-dyed wool as well as some over-dyed recycled wool. New colors have been added and range from the richest and deepest primitive palette to soft pastels – in between are those marvelous brights!!!! New base wools have been used which produced some incredible variations of colors (of old and new formulas). A palette of redware pottery colors was introduced in Fall, 2016 and now part of our regular stock! NEW FOR THE WOOLWRIGHTS 2017 HOOKIN – one-of-a-kind colors created from the “remnants” of 1,000’s of “empty” dry dye packets and jars – the colors are unique and unable to be recreated! As usual, we will also be offering one-of-a-kind spot and sparkle dyes as well as other dyeing methods such as shiborhi and marbleized wools. Wool packages are available which include several values of either all hand-dyed wools – or hand-dyed and as-is wools (some of which may be from my “vintage” stash). Other items for sale are adaptations of acquired antique rug patterns and limited finished items.
Special offering for the hook-in:
The ever-so-popular NAME THAT COLOR contest will once again be offered. The winner will be randomly selected from the entries and receive ½ yard of that newly named wool ($21.00 value)!
All blue hand-dyed ¼ yd pieces will be offered at $10.00 each.
