 | Artist: Ampersand Cards
Ampersand Cards is a dreamer's dream come true. One of my earliest cards reads, "I decided that the world of work was not conducive to joy, and so I became a dreamer of dreams that come true. I'm much happier now."
My dream was (and still is) to have my work be more congruent with my creative spirit, to live the life I imagined for myself when I was 17, by letting my creative self breathe deeply and dance. My hope is that my cards will encourage others to dream and do and to expect their dreams to come true, too.

 | Artist: Bear Creek Paperworks
Leandra Spangler's passion for papermaking began in 1986 when she first plunged her hands into a vat of pulp. In the subsequent years, Leandra has explored numerous ways of making and using paper (handmade and found) as a medium in her creative artistic expressions.
Leandra Spangler's contemporary vessels are reed forms covered with highly textured handmade paper. She weaves the form as an armature for the application of highly textured handmade paper. A graphite emulsion which is polished by hand creates a luminous protective surface. Recently, Spangler has been adding color to the vessel surfaces. Her vessels are shown across the country at invitational and juried exhibitions.

 | Artist: Juno Glass Art & Jewelry
Jane Domke originated Juno Glass Art and Jewelry in 1996. As a fused glass artist, her work involves at least two of the definitions of the word fusion. The first definition of fusion is ‘the procedure of melting by the application of heat.’ The glass art and jewelry produced in the Junoglass studios are all kiln-fired, many more than once. But fusion also means the merging of different elements into a union.

 | Artist: Kjoia Jewelry
Kjoia Jewelry represents my art, my pride and my joy. Phonetically “k-joy-ah” is a Brazilian expression for “what beauty.” Joia is also the Portuguese word for jewelry. I express my joy and love of beauty by creating one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets and earrings designed to mesmerize, intrigue and draw the eye. Using rare vintage glass beads and charms collected from all over the world, I weave together works of art spun with gorgeous color and depth.
