Artist #25 - Laurie Johnson

Hi! My name is Laurie Johnson, and I have been with Crafts Unlimited since 2004. I design primitive crafts; raggedy dolls, snowmen, Santas, framed samplers, burlap banners and pillows, paper mache' snowmen, and upcycled wool mittens. You'll find me at several local bazaars throughout November, but Crafts Unlimited is far and above the best! I have been designing and selling my craft patterns and finished items on my website since 2003. You may have seen some of my patterns in Country Sampler and Create and Decorate magazines.

Hope to see you at the show! Primitive blessings, ...

I look for frames with ample recessed areas for a more polished look. The frame in this project is 13"x11" with a 2.25" recessed area (3" in the corners). I used an assortment of seashells that measured from approximately 1/2" up to 2";...
