3 July 2009 -- News!

I've posted six beautiful new hooks on eBay today! I've also started a new design series! Hook fashions are are now filled with "Unexpected Details." Please check them out, including a brand new Tori Amos inspired hook! (For nosty lovers, there are also three new nosties in my eBay Store). ------------->

In other news, I've returned from Albuquerque enlightened, inspired, and improved! My favorite demo of the whole show was watching Cindy Drozda demonstrate her ultra-fine finials! Check out my blog for more about the AAW Symposium!

In other news, I've started a newsletter -- you can sign up from the handy space on the left menu bar to receive updates to my site, including when I post new fiber tools on eBay and Etsy. Don't worry: I will NEVER sell or rent your e-mail address. (I really dislike when people do that!)

Welcome to Daystar Handworks! I specialize in creating fine hand-turned wooden items from exotic woods, combining colors and textures to make elegant and functional fiber arts tools, beautiful hair pins, sticks, barrettes, jewelry, and other items to make life more pleasant.

I create new items every day, and many of these I post for sale on eBay and Etsy.

While you're here, please visit my online Gallery. I've posted some of my work there, showcasing different designs, types of wood, and the variety of items that I create.
