Check out the last hours of Arrowmont’s Art Auction! I have a lovely Besom up for bid. Great school-Great way to support the Arts https://airauctioneer.com//141-traditional-appalachian-cob

I still find great satisfaction in the creation of a simple sweeper, knowing it will be used every day, and intimately appreciated in ways beyond the surface. #brooms #sweeper #shakerstyle #handcrafted #broomcorn #custombrooms #broommaker #mhcrafted

When it comes to custom orders, I love giving an old fireplace set an upgrade. What a difference a sweet broom makes! #broom #hearthbroom #sweeper #fireplacebroom #broomrepair #shakerstyle #handcraft #customorderswelcome #mhcrafted

Helping a friend with the finer intricacies of antler rib basketry. Her first attempt is a real beauty. She had Pattie Bagley and myself as resources, so she was in good hands. I bet she’ll finish it off tonight #antlers #antlerart #antlerdecor #antlerbasket #antlershed #ribbasket #artisanbaskets #basketclass #basketlessons #mhcrafted

Spent the day digging in the dirt and doubling the size of the willow bed at John C. Campbell Folk School with my best buddies Pattie Bagley & Tammy Elwell! It was a long, physically challenging day, but it’s worth it knowing we’re taking steps today for a better greener tomorrow. #willow #growingbaskets #johnccampbellfolkschool #folkschool #basketsfromthegroundup #englishbasketrywillow #mhcrafted

Entering into uncharted territory... my favorite thing to do. Having no idea gives room for creativity to truly blossom. We’ll see... #brooms #broommaker #broomartisan #broomartist #broomart #mhcrafted

Just realized I’ve never made an ALL black broom before. All the design explorations and material combos, patterns & colors, but never classic plaiting totally black-top to bottom. I like it! It’s the little things. Custom order for fireplace set. #broom #whisk #whiskbroom #turkeywing #hawkstailwhisk #angelwing #ravenwing #crowstail #blackbroomsmatter #mhcrafted

It was past time to stock up on Saving Face facial rejuvenation bar and Lux Lox healthy hair bar, so a good friend joined me for making double batches of both and double the good clean FUN! The best part of making your own soap is definitely sharing it!

Cooking up a batch of ombré purple broomcorn for a very special custom order! Can’t wait. #broomcorn #broom #broommaking #broomart #artbroom #handcraft #handcrafted #purplereign #mhcrafted
