Cavalcade is a wife and husband team that can't stop making stuff. She uses fabric and pearls, he uses wood and leather. He likes the original, she likes the funky. Pillows, rope scarves, belts in different styles, and (not your momma's) cutlery blocks.
I make to-die-for salsa, shadow box art, felted coin purses, crochet hooks carved out of branches and knitting needles turned from local wood.
I make feisty art dolls with pockets and snaps, stained glass mirrors, with sun, stars, and phases of the moon themes. Life is oh-so-beautiful when as many aspects as possible can be hand-crafted and artistic!
What don't I make......that is the question! I enjoy creating a plethora of accessories using vintage / recycled / upcycled / new materials. I NEVER create multiples of any item - everything is one-of-a-kind. (unless you special order for a wedding or something special!)
A slightly obsessive love for color, texture, and interesting fabrics drove me to start sewing. An equally consuming fixation for cute (but pricey) hair pieces drove me start making them myself. I started with felt and chiffon, and then ribbons and beads and appliques crept in. And the rest is history.
I build VERY affordable furniture....bookcases, kids furniture, tables, chairs, built-ins...anything anyone needs me to build. I love working with wood...working with my hands and creating things that people can use and love. I build high quality goods that I feel should last as long as the tree took to grow. This spring I will have fun garden furniture, pyramid trellis', framed arts and crafts tiles, pressed tin picture frames, salvaged window cabinets, bookcases, nice thick maple cutting boards....all sorts.
I've been making lots of things with felt. I'm working on a series of baby bell balls. I've been cleaning, dyeing and carding wool from some sheep in Provo. I also have been painting new birds and will have new prints, and hopefully a couple editions of a Prove Zine done by then!

I love to make handmade stationery, shadow box collages, wrist cuffs, and journals. My love is collecting vintage findings and sewing notions, bird postcards, and ephemera. I enjoy putting together fabulous inspiration kits with the trinkets and treasures I find along the my travels. I have been making things and drawing since I was a little girl. I am always thinking of things to make, sew, or draw. I never stop creating! I was recently published in two Somerset Studios magazines with a handmade wrist cuff and layered bird tag.

We are two persons looking for ways to communicate through the beauty of silkscreen. We make posters, tote bags, journals, sometimes t-shirts. We just started to work with felt and we love it so far!
I adore using lots of real vintage supplies---this time I've got loads of vintage wallpaper that I'm going to transform into sketchbooks/journals, more of the vintage flower earrings, some more headbands and hair accessories.

After looking at countless Dutch and Swiss graphic design work from the 1950 - 60's, I got insanely inspired to design and screen print up quite a few art posters that all have elements found in those vintage sources. All of the posters are printed by hand using soy based screen printing ink.
No one is perfect, but we are all beautiful. These pendants give the feeling of being beautiful, unique and rough around the edges all at the same time. My work reflects the wonderful, flawed idiosyncrasies in us all. And it makes us breath-taking. I make hand melted, hand stamped pendants. There are a variety of fonts and types, ranging from chunky and “wonky” to tiny and sophisticated. As you can’t control where the metal flows when you stamp them, they are each different and no two can be exactly alike. I am very passionate about the charm and individuality these pendants represent.

I am a wool FANATIC and make unique items like handbags, pincushions, banners, owls and more beautifully handcrafted treasures using vintage-inspired fabrics and upcycled 100% wool that I've felted myself. It is a Thelma’s Handmade tradition that each piece has some element of upcycled felted wool!
