Ep 6: Joyce Huard @mynoushart
Today’s guest is from comes to us from Canada. She has been crafting since she was a child. Both her maternal and paternal grandmothers were skilled seamstresses. And she credits her love for yarns and textiles to them. Later in life, she went to fashion school outside of Canada. She gravitated towards wools and heavy fabrics with texture. She became addicted to jacket and coat making but found it hard to find the perfect fabric. So she started to add yarns and fringed and embroidery to her sewing projects. But she still wasn’t completely happy. When she returned to Canada, she started to included sweater pieces, hand knits and crochet to her clothes, mixed with fabrics. But she was still feeling unsatisfied. Finding the perfect yarns, or fabrics seemed impossible. As luck would have it, her neighbors have a sheep farm, she had the idea to ask them to take the fleeces and try to make yarn, so she could create exactly what she needs. Her intention was also to weave fabrics and try some felt. That is how she got her start. Where she is now is AMAZING. Her work and pictures have a special magical element about them that makes you feel that she is from some timeless fairy tale. You can find pictures of her enchanting work and links to all the relevant profiles on her website mynoush.com I’m so excited to welcome Joyce Huard of MyNoush to our podcast! Joyce thanks so much for taking the time to talk with me today!

Ep 4: Doris Strand @ bizzzyasabee
<p><strong>Today’s guest describes herself as a fairly new weaver/fiber artist who came to weaving after crocheting scarves, cowls, washcloths and an occasional baby blanket for a number of years.</strong></p> <p><strong>While still employed full time at a local college, she would participate in about 5-7 local craft shows each fall. She noticed more and more crafters making similar items, so she thought, “what isn’t being represented?”</strong></p> <p><strong>Pottery and weaving were a couple of avenues to explore. She ruled pottery out as it is messy, expensive … and breakable. But she had been inspired by some scarves she had seen on Pinterest woven by The Barefoot Weaver.</strong></p> <p><strong>She decided weaving was the answer; Hey, I already had yarn.</strong></p> <p><strong>At the end of December 2015, she retired from the college and started the next chapter in her crafting journey. After some research, comparing various looms and manufacturers, she purchased her first loom: a 16” Ashford Rigid Heddle. Down the rabbit hole, she went!</strong></p> <p><strong>You can find pictures of her some of her beautiful handwoven items on her </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bizzzyasabee/"><strong>Instagram</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/bizzzyasabee/"><strong>facebook</strong></a><strong> accounts under the name Bizzzy as a bee. This is also the name of her home-based studio where she creates unique handwoven scarves, hand towels, and table runners, as well as an occasional washcloth.</strong></p>
