3 February 2010 -- News!

Four gorgeous new hooks posted on eBay tonight!

In other news, I've recently taken a class with world-renowned artist David Nittmann on airbrushing. What a fun tool to use! David is an incredibly creative, patient, and knowledgeable teacher -- I had a fantastic time! (If you get the chance, TAKE HIS CLASSES!) And check out his incredible artwork! (Read more about the class on my blog.)

I invite you to visit my friend Cindy Drozda's web site. She makes the most exquisitely beautiful boxes and sculptures -- completely out of wood, with a dash of diamonds, (and other precious stones). Amazing, breath-taking, one-of-a-kind artworks -- an exceptional gift for a treasured person (or an inestimable treat for yourself!). Please also see her brand new Etsy shop!

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.

See tips on how to care for your wooden item, and find out about the materials I use in the Wood Encyclopedia.
