Artist Feature - ALASKA HOT DOGGIES


Alaska native, Jodi Hughes, has an obsession...an obsession with color! Jodi's focus is on hand-marbled papers and textiles. She also enjoys upcycling, reconstruction, and recycling discarded objects.

An example of her marbling technique can be seen above. The aluminum cuff bracelet has been covered in handmade marbled paper, then clear coated to help protect it against moisture and gentle wear. It is available in her Etsy shop (http://akhotdoggies.etsy.com/) for $7 USD. While the bracelet is a real attention grabber, her marbled lampshade are beyond cool! For about $15 USD you can transform the look of an ordinary lamp to something fabulously unique! Check them out in her Shop!

Jodi is a member of the Etsy Fiber Artists Street Team (FAST).
