Artist Feature: Seven Feathers Tribe

About Cre, "I have been a crafter as long as I can remember. I am always crafting. Always. Just ask my family. From jewelry work, soapmaking, candlemaking, lampworking, sewing clothing..I could go on and on..and now toymaking! My latest passion is making felt food products and felt masks. My daughters are my biggest inspiration and are always tossing new ideas my way. Our family lives in a small hollar nestled down in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We peddle our wares on etsy and we vend at several local festivals in and around the Asheville area. "


i have been a huge fan of Cre's work for many, many years. Back in the day, she made gorgeous patchwork clothing with the most intricate, beautiful appliques and her business was known as Oceantribes. She still sews some clothing items and does amazing applique work, but her focus has changed a bit as she and her family have grown and evolved over the years.

In the last few years, Cre's focus has moved away from the patchwork clothing and towards making eco-friendly children's toys and masks. She uses Eco-Fi felt (also known as Ecospun) for her handcrafted toys and masks. It is made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic bottles and is compliant with the Consumer Product Safety Act, making it a great, eco friendly choice for children.

If you visit her etsy shop, you'll find it packed full of lovely felt play foods, imaginative masks, felt crowns for dress up play, market bags and more! She makes an amazing variety of play foods. She pays special attention to detail and craftmanship. Her felt masks are very creative and original, she has lots of woodland creature masks, ogres, birds and many more!



Show some support to this fabulous mama who creates these amazing handmade toys so that she can stay home with her children.
