Plastic Canvas Patterns, Designs & Creations By CottageCreatrix Miriam Handfield
Inspiring You To Live An Enchanted Life
Welcome to my shop! I believe that you are never too old to have something magical and enchanting that brings a smile to your face and joy to your heart: be it a fairy garden collection, a rainbow collection, a mushroom collection, a collection of ladybugs or even a collection of farm animals to adorn your shelves, window sills, ledges and walls. It is my deepest wish that everyone be blessed to live in a place surrounded by both people and items that you love, that provide you with inspiration and provide you with nourishment for your soul.
​
{My Inspiration}
I am a cottage creatrix who creates art from the comfort of my wheelchair while battling a brain tumour. Blessed to live on a farm surrounded in part by the boreal forest of Northern Alberta, my studio windows face the woods by my home that are filled with interesting flora, fauna, and fungi.
​
I have a soft spot for the woodland critters that often visit me such as foxes, deer, moose, mice, squirrels, mink, fishers, and the odd bear. Blue jays, robins, sap suckers, hummingbirds, ravens and great horned owls also make appearances at my home and in my work. ​All the fore mentioned, as well as my love of and belief in the magical and mystical, help inspire my creativity.
​
I use a variety of tools for my creations including vintage handcrafted method's (good old fashioned sewing using needle and threads/yarns and paint brushes with certified non-toxic acrylic paints), handheld tools (including wood burning irons, scroll saws and binding coils) and more recently computerized tools (such as cnc machines, ai, and computerized machine cutouts) to help me in areas where I need additional production assistance to create what I envision as a designer.
