Meet The Artists Collaborative



Denise Bennett owner/artist
Upcycled Bottles and more


I began my career as an artist in 2006 but have been painting since the age of 14. AMB-Studios is named after my three children, beginning as a chance for me to showcase and sell my original oil paintings. Since then, my art has evolved, transforming into upcycled bottle art in 2009. I always had the dream of opening a “storefront” to help support other artists and to sell my up-cycled creations, and in 2020, AMB-Studios officially established Chimes & Charms and the artists collaborative. We have continued to grow and have no intentions of slowing down anytime soon. Traveling to many art shows and renaissance festivals to sell both my creations and that of the artists collaborative has become my passion.

Emily Bowman
snarky embroidery


What started as just a girl with a used embroidery machine and a dream has slowly turned into an empire, taking over the shire of Mount Hope one pin at a time. By the time Emily purchased embroidery machine number 5 she wanted to make something bigger, something like pins, but for your walls. That’s where the idea for the embroidered wall art came from. Not wanting to give up her pin basket and long walks upon the shire, she has engaged with Chimes and Charms to bring you these snarky, and sassy “pins for your walls”.

Deb Becker
wood & glass


My work is a mash up of carved wood, stained glass, fused glass and found natural objects like bamboo and stones combined to create simple landscapes. Each piece is one of a kind created with passion and purpose by my hands and some simple tools. I love working with my hands, I love being creative and I love sharing my art!

Joanne Tartaglino & Cindy Palmer
aromatherapy


Herbs are fascinating! They can do so much for our bodies and spirits. And they're fun to play with! That's what interested these two best friends. What started as a hobby has grown to a line of unique products for skin, hair, and aromatherapy. Many of our items - lotion bars, potions, lips balms, inhalers - are inspired by our customers. We study herbs, blend fragrances, research butters and oils, and create magical items that soother, refresh, moisturize, and revive your skin and spirit. After all - when friends get together - magic happens.

Tim Fedor
leather


In October of 2019, I asked my girlfriend to marry me. Little did I know that she came with an obsession with earrings! However, my fiancée could never find the designs she wanted. Using my hobby of leather-making, I decided to make her earrings featuring some of her favorite things! Luckily, she is not the only one I know that loves mermaids and flowers, and thus Lupo Nero was born. Now I love collaborating on new designs and even testing out new techniques. Thanks to Chimes & Charms, I get to share what my fiancée (edit, now wife) and I love with the world.

Lori Whitley
dot art


I've always loved color. Creating mandalas with dot of paint is a form of meditation for me, and has helped me Focus my life in ways that I can't even begin to explain. Elemental dots became my means of sharing this love of color and sacred geometry with everyone. And nothing makes me happier than creating something special that resonates with someone's spirit. I create mandalas and sacred symbols one dot at a time, on wood, ceramic, canvas, and pretty much anything that will take paint. I hope you find something in my creations that speaks to your sense of spirit and sacredness in your world.

Dennis Yanan
wood turner


I'm Dennis, an ordinary citizen by day and a wood-turning craftsman by night. I used to be just like any other person: work, spend time with my family, and generally live life. But a few years ago, I inherited a lathe, and all hell broke loose – I was hooked. I started with the usual… turning bowls, plates, pens, etc. But I've branched out to create a broad range of products. And partnering with Chimes & Charms, I get to share them with you. It's a win-win… you get something extraordinary, and I get things out of my house, so my wife doesn't go crazy. I specialize in handcrafted home décor and gift products. My current fav is a small, acorn-shaped trinket box. You can also find high-quality pens, cosplay wands, shot glasses, tops, and even Dragon Eggs (you've got to see them… ask Denise).

Stephanie Vitale-Keller
crocheted pickles & turkey legs


I love to crochet, and I love pickles. Little did I know that the two were destined to be become combined! In honor of my favorite Faire food, I crocheted my own version of the pickle-on-a-stick and boy did it get a lot of attention last season! Now, I’m happy to be able to share my crochet pickles- and turkey legs-with Faire folk at Chimes & Charms exclusively.

Rebekah Perkins & Karen Perkins
crocheted hats & critters


We are a mother/daughter duo using hooks and yarn to work our magic. We use our skills to create enchanting wearables and whimsical creatures from other realms sure to fascinate all ages. Working together with our distinctively different personalities helps us step out of our comfort zones with color and style choices and appeal to a wider audience than we might individually.

Phoebe Myers
painted miniatures


As an avid gamer and artist, I paint and create for the thrill of filling worlds with character and color. My talents range from digital arts, to sculpts and embroidery, but my specialty is being able to take brush to print and create tiny detail in miniature painting. Dungeons and Dragons inspired this line of work, and I hope to share my little figures with everyone, player or not!

Jeanette Hess
seamstress


I started sewing when I was 18 to make clothes for my girls dolls. At the age of 22 I went to work at Danskin where I made spandex pants for several years. My next sewing adventure was running a 22 head embroidery machine. I also worked for a boat upholstery shop for a summer. I’ve been sewing for faires for a little over 10 years
