Happy Early Birthday greetings to Miss Megan Mac
Be sure to visit Tiny Canary this weekend folks and take a moment to stop by the booth of Miss Megan Mac! It's her birthday and we sincerely extend warm wishes to this adored team member. She's our resident weaver and textiles artist. Although talented in many different creative realms, she currently expresses herself in chiffons and silks, batiking and hand-painting them. There's something very decadent about draping yourself in her fine wares! Visit her etsy shop and prepare to be enticed! Her colors and patterns are OUT OF THIS WORLD.

Thursday's Featured item of the day by Miss Megan Mac
Welcome friends. Today we are shining the spotlight on a long-standing team member with "mad skills." Doesn't her sunny yellow silk chiffon scarf make you want to smile??? Allow us to introduce Miss Megan Mac....
I’m an artist and weaver who has been creating art and objects since I was a very young child. My first formal art classes were at The Ohio State University, in a program for children. There I explored drawing and painting, and began learning ceramics. While still in elementary school, I began to do embroidery and learned to sew, all of which started me on my fiber path. I was fortunate to have an art teacher in high school that encouraged me to explore a variety of mediums and taught me strong technical skills. I then moved to New York City to attend college. I graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA degree in product design, specializing in textile design.
I’m now pursuing my artwork full time, working from my home based studio. I create large hand woven art pieces, some of which also utilize techniques such as appliqué and embroidery, and I hope to have some of those in the shop soon. I love to work in different mediums, as it keeps things fresh, and often, what I am working on in one area will inspire another piece elsewhere. I think you should pursue as many things that interest you as you can. There are so many beautiful things in this universe to be inspired by; I find inspiration all around me.
*You can view the results of Megan's inspirations by visiting her etsy shop and also reading her blog. Links are provided below.

Friday's Featured Item of the day
Lynda of Armando Javier Design is a self-confessed textile and leather addict. Add denim, chenille, and silk to that list as well. Her weekends are spent tooling leather and designing new bags and coats. It's no wonder her bags are to-die-for with all that passion behind them!
Check out the stitching and hardware on this "WAVE" clutch! I mean, yow! FIERCENESS, right? To refresh our knowledge of Lynda's handiwork, we perused her shop and wares just now and were left...how shall we say this? COVETING. Her distressing, patterns, carvings and stampings on those leather beauties is nothing short of divine. You must check them out for yourself!
If you happened to pick up the March issue of Ebony magazine you'd have found our illustrious team member's OBAMA bag mentioned on page 50. Her popularity is building on that momentum, so she is now signing and numbering her designs.
We especially loved her cute anecdotes for her "Angie" cross-body bags! Here is a link to bring you right to her doorstep. Enjoy!
Thursday's Featured item of the day
Shirley, of Maidenhand felted fibers creates original wearable art using various felting techniques with wool, silk, bamboo and other exotic fibers. Great care and attention are paid to detail in her line, which also includes corsage pins and "pod-shaped" bowls/vessels. Her chiffon and wool combinations are a journey for the senses in their unexpected contrast of textures.
This particular "lattice" scarf is hand crafted of 100% fine merino wool. The vibrant teals, magentas and greens are sure to thrill you. It measures 64 by 8 luxurious inches to drape softly around your form.
Shirley is a native of Scotland who now resides in the Brewery district of Columbus. She constantly delights her fellow etsy team members with her lovely accent and breathtaking designs. Her home studio is smoke-free. Take a moment out of your busy day to relax and marvel at her beautiful creations with the link provided below.
Featured Item of the day
Today's nifty pick comes from Etsy team member Shesu2008. We are slightly obsessed with their newsboy and vintage style caps made from recycled neckties and other materials. (Hello eco-friendly pal!) In fact, it was difficult deciding which ONE to select for our blog. If that wasn't already enough crafty greatness...Shesu's shop also has patchwork scarves (tres chic), bags, vintage items and more. You can check out these lovelies via the following link:
