Online fashion boutique Kitsilano Kitty's Closet has expanded once again to launch ‘Made to Order Arts and Crafts’ to showcase the talents of local Vancouver fine artist Andrea Tucker and Moldovan hand-beader Mariana Minzu. ‘Made to Order’ is a process where an artist/artisan offers artwork and/or handcrafted items created specifically for the customer. Each final product is one of a kind, crafted and completed then shipped to the customer within a predetermined time frame. The artists that will be represented at Kitsilano Kitty’s Closet do not sell mass produced artwork or digital reproductions so each piece will be original and unique.
"We are incredibly proud to be able to offer 'Made To Order' artwork and jewelry to our customers" says Helen Siwak, President and Head Shopper of KitsilanoKittysCloset"Our first two artists are amazing women with two completely different skill sets. Each is as unique as the art they produce. We hope that members of The Kitty Club enjoy this new section of our business and will continue to support it as we expand with more artists and mediums."
Vancouverite Andrea Tucker is the first artist offering services on KitsilanoKittysCloset. Andrea creates whimsical fantastic pet portraits based on photographs and details about clients pets personal life, antics, quirks and characteristics. Portraits are offered in three mediums; graphite drawing, watercolour and oil painting. Sizes range from 5″x7″ to 8″x10″ but larger sizes can be requested by custom order and quote. Such a great gift idea or a personal indulgence.
Blossom Beads by Mariana Minzu consists of a base line of handbeaded collars that tie behind the neck with satin or ribbon ties. While these types of collars are incredibly trendy in Europe, North America has not caught on. Mariana will provide a fresh perspective with her line of 'Collarful Beads' through the online shopping boutique. Mariana is busy preparing two new lines of jewelry, that will compliment the collars and incorporate chains and unique pendants.
If your love, whether it be your partner or pet, has a special day coming up consider a one of a kind gift created by one of Kitsilano Kitty's Closet's 'Made To Order' artisan pages.
