That’s right: She took
on all of this extra work to
force herself, by means of
a twisted holiday time-
crunch, to be creative —
and it worked. She makes
beautiful things.
Czillinger has made hats
and scarves out of felted
wool. “I take old sweaters
and boil them down and
make other things,” she
said.
This is her third year
organizing and participating
in the bazaar. For its first
year, the event was held at
Albatross & Co. Since then,
it has been held at Car-
ruthers.
Last year the festival
was called “Dark Hearts,”
and she made batik vintage
lingerie and more woolen
items. Asked what she was
making this year, Czillinger
flashed a mischievous,
knowing smile. “I don’t
know,” she said, “whatever
strikes my fancy 24 hours
before!”

Thriving under
pressure
A photo by Eric Fitzpatrick
As it turns out, this pres-
sure-cooker method works
for others. Becky Tonkin,
who has a degree in apparel
design, had been doing
alterations and the like for
friends for years, but when
she was invited to do the
first bazaar at Albatross &
Co., “I kicked into gear,”
she said.
“I sort of threw a bunch
of stuff out there and
watched to see what would
stick,” Tonkin said.
She now has her own
business, Shift — a line
of aprons and garments
made for creative work and
everyday wear — which has
evolved over three years
and is now “more than a
full-time job.”
Her bestselling design,
the suspender dress, was
born of her desire to “wear
an apron for work and not
have to change clothes
afterward to go out in the
world.”
Like Crafty Wonderland,
Czillinger’s event has also
grown this year with about
30 artists and makers show-
casing their goods. Here’s
just a sampling of some of
the other creative maniacs
who will be taking part in
this event:
• Votive Designs —
mind-boggling modern
jewelry by Lucy Barna, in-
spired by the heady “sacred
geometry” of Fibonacci and
Plato’s “Timaeus.” Barna
makes her jewelry by hand,
including chains and posts,
slowly and with attention to
detail.
• Dennis Thomas, of
Thomas and Son Wood-
works, offering beautiful
cutting blocks, salt cellars,
vases and more.
• Judith Altruda, a Toke-
land, Washington, artist
selling handmade jewelry
made from gemstones and
ancient coins. Also em-
bellished belts and hair
jewelry.
• Nicholas Wheeler,
owner of Wheeler Bag Co.,
bringing his handmade and
vintage-inspired waxed
canvas and leather hand-
bags.
• Sarah Landwehr, who
creates hand-pulled prints,
paintings and cards. Her
work is rich with pattern,
intricate line-work and bold
colors, with imagery fo-
cusing on the natural world
and the faces of the Pacific
Northwest.
• Eric Fitzpatrick’s pho-
tography, depicting a broad
range of styles, from forest
and mountain landscapes to
animals, to more abstract
and surreal long-exposure
shots.
• Artist Sophia Anderson,
selling limited-edition sumi
ink prints and cards. CW
