Handknits from the heart By Les Tricots du Coeur

I’m Ninon from Quebec, and knitting is my passion!

Designing and creating new pieces is for me the air that I breathe.  I was always as long as I can remember a very artistic person, and I thrive on doing anything artsy.  My shop is filled with luxury handknitted accessories, all knitted with love!  I put all of my heart and soul in each new creation, and want to share the love and warmth of handknitted garments to my customers.

The majority of my creations are OOAK (One Of A Kind, with no reproduction).  When a customer decides to buy one of my designs, they are sure to buy a unique piece; as unique as they are!  I choose all my yarns individually for each project; I love the creating process of putting a new piece together.  From the design to the color, and type of fiber used.  I also do custom work, and really enjoy working with my customers in creating the perfect piece for them.

Thank you for reading this far, and I hope to have the opportunity to see you in the shop!

Featured Artist – Rabbit Hollow Prims

Rabbit Hollow Prims began a long while ago… 1989 to be exact. I used to make crafts with my mother who sold at shows in Pennsylvania and Ohio and she would pay me for helping her. I stayed away from doll making for a while and now I am back to making dolls from patterns, and recently designing and selling my own dolls that are OOAK (one of a kind). My techniques, style, product and designs have changed a lot over the years, but what has remained ever constant is producing folk-art that is truly unique, original, and sometimes OOAK.

I often use a distressing technique with acrylic paints and then sanding and baking for a truly vintage and worn out look, and rich leathery patina. All dolls are made to last and wear throughout the years to come. My love of antiques & dolls has certainly been a huge influence at Rabbit Hollow Prims over the past 17 years, and I love what I do.

I am a mother of 2 boys who are 3 and 5 yrs old. I have been an artist in the Hope Mills, NC community for 5 years, where I have also been a Science teacher for groups of middle school kids, and a Science lab expert teacher in the after school community school programs for kids ages 11-14.

My name is Karina. In March 2006 I discovered the wonderful world of polymer clay. Since that day I practice daily so I can learn new techniques! I love experimenting with clay and creating just about everything. I especially enjoy making jewelry in which I use many different techniques, using canes that I make and enhancing the beauty of the canes and techniques with glass beads and Swarovski crystals in many occasions.

Also, I have entered the wonderful creative world of fantasy figurines, which I also make out of polymer clay.

If you want to look different-or give a gift that is different, and unique, you will find what you are looking for on my site to surprise your loved ones!  Be different….give yourself, or a loved one a true OOAK (One of a kind) piece handcrafted with love by Kabi Designs! Thank you so much for sharing my world.
